00:30Good day, you beautiful people.
00:31Welcome to Sinas Tech where we do tech in your life in style.
00:34And that was our unboxing of the Google Pixel 8
00:37in a very beautiful color.
00:39So happy we finally get a rose phone.
00:41Let's take a closer look.
00:43I honestly think this is one beautiful color on a phone.
00:47It is called rose but I wouldn't say it's pink.
00:50Still, this is not bad.
00:52I would take this color over a black or a gray any day.
00:56We have that Pixel camera bump
00:58and that camera bump just like the sides of the phone are the same color.
01:02It's almost a metallic rose gold.
01:05Those cameras, the flash.
01:07Of course, that Google branding on here.
01:09The phone can be pretty smudgy but the thing with this color or material
01:14is that it doesn't look as bad even when it's smudgy.
01:17I mean, can you see the smudges on here?
01:19It's not so bad.
01:20On the right, we have an unlock button, a volume rocker at the bottom,
01:25speakers, USB-C port.
01:27On the other side is your SIM tray.
01:29And of course, you have your fingerprint unlock.
01:32And by the way, this is a flat screen all throughout.
01:37So, the thing with the Pixel devices is that more than hardware,
01:59it's really the software that makes these cameras shine.
02:02And there are a host of AI features on this phone which I definitely want to show you guys.
02:07So, first off, I did bring this phone to a wedding and I captured really, really nice photos.
02:12Specifically, that portrait just looks so good.
02:22One new feature is called Best Take and that's especially useful for group photos like this.
02:28So, for example, I have this photo of everyone.
02:32And this is definitely a moment that you can't really recreate.
02:36It was my cousin's wedding.
02:37Right, I just learned really quickly that you need the internet to be able to do these edits.
02:42So, that's one thing to remember.
02:43But yes, so for example, shots like this, first of all, look at the bokeh on the portrait mode.
02:49Secondly, you now have Best Take.
02:53And this allows you to get the best take from a couple of shots,
02:57especially when it's a group shot.
02:58So, it will show you the different options.
03:01So, for example, my face, well, I post the same way.
03:04So, you don't really see any difference.
03:06But for example, for my auntie's face, you can see that it does change.
03:11Let me zoom that in so you get a better look.
03:14You can see how it's able to edit her face.
03:18So, she can pick whatever pose that she wants for this group pic.
03:24My cousin, she has the same smile.
03:27My sister and my mom, I would assume, have the same smile as well.
03:31But you can see how slightly her smile varies between the two photos.
03:36Pretty cool.
03:36This is a better example of a photo you'd want to be fixing.
03:39So, here, as you can see, the bride's eyes are closed.
03:44So, just tap on her face and voila, fixed.
03:50One tip that I will say though for photos like this,
03:54make sure you take a lot of shots so that you have options to choose from.
03:59Especially for portraits, you also have edit features that will allow you to,
04:04for example, adjust the portrait situation.
04:07So, as you can see, it did blur the background even more.
04:10You also have portrait light which allows you to move around
04:13like where the light is coming from.
04:15Very cool.
04:16So, it'll help you find the light even after you've taken that shot.
04:22You see the difference there?
04:24Another thing I love, and this isn't really that new,
04:27you still have your magic eraser.
04:30Let's find a nice example.
04:32For example, this nice mirror shot of me,
04:36but you can see there's someone in the background.
04:38We don't want that.
04:39So, I'm just gonna edit, go to tools, go to magic eraser.
04:43So, it does suggest and then I can just tap erase all.
04:47And look at that.
04:48Perfect.
04:51Now, let's see if I can do a portrait blur on here.
04:54Oh, did you see that?
04:56That's pretty cool.
04:58Anyway, here are more photos from the wedding.
05:18Another thing that Pixel phones are good at, night shot.
05:26And now, without further ado, let's do a quick camera tour.
05:40Right, let's go.
05:41Camera tour time.
05:43So, we have photo, you have wide, 1x, 2x, and you can zoom up until 8x on photo.
05:50And let's see the different settings here.
05:52So, you can change brightness, shadow, and your white balance.
05:56Here, you see different settings as well.
06:00On the right of that is night sight.
06:02You can do wide, 1x, 2x, up until 8x.
06:05As well on night sight, you have a panorama mode.
06:08On the other side, of course, your portrait mode and that goes to 3x.
06:12But you can do 1.5, 2, and up until 3x.
06:17Long exposure mode allows you for the same zoom capabilities.
06:22And then, you also have your action pan which does 0.6.
06:26No, that says 0.5.
06:28Oh, yeah, 0.5, 1x, 2x, up until 8x as well.
06:34And let's see.
06:38There is action pan on selfie.
06:40Wide, 1x, up until 2.9x.
06:43You have long exposure mode on selfie as well.
06:4612.7, up until 2.9.
06:49Portrait, let's see.
06:51Wide, 1x, 2.9.
06:53And then, photo, night sight.
06:55Oh, there's a night sight for selfie.
06:57And, well, no panorama.
06:59Let's see about video.
07:01Let's switch to the main camera.
07:03So, wide, 1x, 2x, up until 7x on video.
07:07Now, here, you have exposure and white balance settings.
07:12You also have your different video settings.
07:14And you can shoot 4K60.
07:17You have different stabilization modes.
07:19So, you have locked, standard, and you have action.
07:22But that only works on full HD30.
07:26Let's get back to 4K then.
07:28Now, you have a slow-mo mode, a time-lapse mode.
07:32And it does the same zooms.
07:34Okay, even on time-lapse mode, it does 7x.
07:37And then, on the other side, you have a blur mode
07:40which is basically like live portrait video.
07:44And then, you have a pan which can do wide, 1x, 2x, up until 7x.
07:50Now, on the selfie video, you have a selfie pan.
07:53That's nice.
07:54And you can do up until 4x.
07:57No blur mode on selfie though.
07:59And then, you have a video mode.
08:02I switched it back.
08:03You have 1x, up until 4x.
08:07And can you shoot in 4K?
08:09Yes, you can.
08:104K60.
08:11Slow-mo mode.
08:12Oh, no.
08:13Selfie slow-mo mode.
08:14And on time-lapse, you have a selfie mode.
08:17Up until 4x.
