Joe Rogan Experience #1186 - Marques Brownlee

here we go four three two one boom first of all before we get started i want to
say i love your
reviews you are my favorite you you have the well you and lou i love lou too
but you you you're so
good at covering all the bases of whether it's cell phones or any kind of weird
technology that's
coming out and you just you just nail it you just you're so you're my go-to guy
man well thank you
that's quite an intro i appreciate that i really want to tell you like whenever
a new cell phone's
out like i saw that you walked in with the red but that's your that's not your
daily driver no i
thought you would like this this is i mean every phone now is is glass on glass
and everything yeah
uh but this this red hydrogen one has a lot of weird stuff about it uh it's
first of all it's about
twice as big as it has to be but it's it's from a red which is a camera company
wow all these buttons
yeah so they're really good this is not buttons this is just a grip this rubberized
side grip you
could probably drop it from 45 feet and it'll be fine throw it across the room
but the weird part is
it's made by red so red is a camera company they're they i use their cameras i
love their cameras but
then they come out with this which is a phone which is kind of weird but there
it is right there on the
screen yeah that's my photo actually so that's next to the the iphone 8 plus
which is already a huge
phone what is this um metal thing on the back the brass looking so it's got
these pins and it's
supposed to next year support modules that will connect to it so potentially vr
better camera bigger
battery uh vr whatever reds decide to support or make will attach to it but it's
also kind of
may or may not happen for a while yeah because jamie ordered one when did you
order one i think i paid
for it last i don't know right when it went on sale yeah like last august maybe
vaporware yeah mine my
official one just shipped that's a prototype this is a prototype you have here
yes so i've been i've
worked with red for i've seen a lot of the process since i've gotten like eight
software updates and this
is not final but like it's a pretty good idea yeah what do you think about it
so far so i actually it's
surprisingly good a lot of people like new camera companies or new companies
come up and make a phone and
it's just not right in a lot of ways they kind of took a lot of notes and they
went minimal with the
software i like that about it i was expecting the camera to be amazing it's
they don't use they don't
make this this sensor so this the camera is not amazing yet oh but i think the
modules will make this
what it is i think the phone at by itself is like not really thirteen hundred
dollar phone
um but it's support for upcoming things that they're planning i think will make
it good is it a
problem when a company tries to get into the cell phone business and you're
competing with samsung
apple you know huawei there's so many companies that are so advanced for you to
be red who's
essentially a camera manufacturer they make video cameras yeah really high-end
for people don't know
uh really high-end hd video cameras that a lot of movies are shot on them films
all kinds of things
youtube videos yeah oh you do all your youtube videos with it yeah is it really
that good for
you i mean is it worth having a red kit it's a large camera right it's heavy
yeah it started off not that
great and then i got used to it and then they got better so it was probably
like five years ago that
i first started with a red a red scarlet this 4k 5k camera and yeah it's kind
of a pain uh but the
workflow has gotten better they've worked with uh smaller teams like individual
creators even to get the
camera is now smaller it does more in in a smaller body so it's gotten a lot
easier to use a red for a
small team whereas like yeah five years ago they were making a red for a movie
shoot with 15 people
yeah yeah so how much do they weigh now uh i couldn't tell you a weight i'd say
probably between
six and ten pounds oh it's not bad at all yeah because you it's completely
modular you rig it up
to be what you want so like you get that out the box which is just the brain
what we're looking at
for people just listening it says red dragon on the side why is it called
itself red dragon and you got
some names it's pretty clutch looking it looks like uh it looks really like a
computer like so that's what
that's what you're looking at is just the computer and the sensor and that side
piece right there is
the ssd reader everything else all those pins you see on the top and on the
side that's where you
connect what you want to make it uh the rig so if you're doing this eight years
ago you would attach
a viewfinder you'd attach a couple monitors for directors you would attach uh
controls more yeah
all this follow focus all this the the lens obviously the mount all the stuff
has to attach to it
but for just me and my use i'd use it more kind of like what you might see in
another image which is
just a monitor an ssd a controller and a lens and that does everything so is
the idea eventually that
this phone is going to be able to do everything that that does so that i think
if you asked red they
would say yes but they aren't there yet obviously how could they release
something and not have an
amazing camera yeah that seems crazy that that i think was what i think a lot
of people were super
hyped about because obviously red's good with not just the they make the
silicon for the camera but
they're good at color science and auto focus and all these different things
that cameras should be good
at uh so when they come out with a phone that has a camera on you just kind of
expect it to be amazing
yeah when it's not the best i kind of firmly believe this is the best camera
and you have that's
the google pixel three yeah is the best camera in a phone are you a google
pixel fan boy at this point
i'm a fan i'm a fan of the camera which has turned me into a fan of the rest of
the phone just the
camera alone it's it's an unusual camera in that it only has one one camera yes
yeah there's one camera
where everybody else is going with multiple cameras three four google's doing
everything with software
yes and i like that about it now is that the xl that's the xl it doesn't seem
that big it's kind
of not that insane i think everyone's everyone's into the the notch obviously
which is a little
different from what you might see in a an iphone or a huawei phone or something
um but the software is
very googly the screen is much better than last year it's glass and wireless
charges it's got all these
things that last year's phone didn't have but the camera is absolutely what
makes that phone good
it's really that much better it is that much better what is so good about it uh
it's like you
said it's the software so what google does with hdr and essentially their image
processing is a big part
of why it's good you could put the same sensor and glass in another smartphone
with way weaker
software and it wouldn't look as good um but what they do with that that image
processing after it's
it's a rolling buffer of images so you can take uh it's like instant shutter so
as soon as you press
the shutter it's instant shutter uh you freeze the motion the dynamic range is
great the detail is
great and photos are amazing i was amazed at the low light photos yeah that was
stunning because the
best i had seen before that was the huawei the mate rs i guess it was there's
been a couple really
good night modes in huawei phones yeah but this seemed even better than that
and it didn't seem distorted it
seemed like you realized it was at night but you could see all the detail yeah
it's hard it's
never gonna look as good as daytime but uh there's a i haven't i don't have the
update yet but there's
going to be an update to the pixel that has night sight or another night mode
that does the same thing
we're just taking a bunch of exposures and long exposures and uses
stabilization and hopefully gets a
much brighter image that looks way better than what would be different from the
update in in comparison
to what it does now so right now if you just take a photo at night it'll just
try to noise reduce all
like when you take a photo at night there's a lot of grain you're pumping the
iso all the way up and
when you clean all that noise out you are it's kind of like airbrushing the
image and that it's going to
be softer so if you do a lot of noise reduction you lose all your detail it's
really soft so low-light
photos just aren't as good but if you can take a longer exposure with better
stabilization you can
not crank the iso as high not introduce as much noise and then at the end of
the day have a more
detailed better looking photo so that's the theory behind a lot of these night
modes how do they do
how do they do that all in software uh a lot of calibration a lot of knowing
exactly how good the
optical image stabilization is in the lens and then electronic stabilization as
well a lot of algorithms
knowing what part of the photo is moving versus what isn't so there's a lot of
computational
photography is what it's called uh happening on the chip that makes it that
good it's just fascinating
that google is the only one who's doing this with one camera as opposed to
everyone else like my iphone
has several cameras yeah i have a uh a note 9 which i really like and one of
the other things about
google this does not have a lot of ram no i found that actually kind of a an
interesting weak point
about this phone and i haven't even i've reviewed it and i was kind of
skeptical about it's only only
four gigs of ram which is like a couple years ago wow four weeks ram on a phone
that's amazing that's
amazing but uh a lot of phones coming out now has six eight gigs of ram who has
the most right now uh a
a phone just a gaming phone just came out with 10 gigs of ram is it the razer
phone or a different
one no another one i don't even remember the name but then there's also a oppo
find x with 10 gigs of
ram but do you need that no you know you don't need it what would what would be
the benefit of
having 10 gigs of ram like what software would run basically the advantage to
having more ram is keeping
apps open and running in the background longer so if you have your camera and
your twitter and your
instagram and your web browser and all that a lot of high maybe a couple games
all running at the same
time and then you multitask and switch between them on a phone with less ram
you'll find that
you'll switch from the game to the browser and you go back to the browser and
it reloads everything
because it it completely garbage that from the memory after a while because it
was trying to save space
so on a phone with four gigs of ram this happened to me a couple times where i'd
be listening to music
and i'd open the camera and take a few photos and then the music or the podcast
or whatever would
just stop and it killed that app in the background with only four gigs of ram i'm
not doing that crazy
things with multitasking just two things running just two i think it might have
been a bug because
the camera uses a lot of memory and for whatever reason it just picks the other
big memory app and
kills it uh it's not very repeatable i've had it happen to me since i landed
yesterday like a couple
times but it i think a phone with six or eight gigs of ram the last phone i was
using for a while was
the one plus six has eight gigs of ram and that never happened to me every time
i multitask and go
back five ten apps ago and open it it was right where i left off is the google
pixel 3 your favorite
phone or is it just your favorite phone because of the camera it is my favorite
phone period and it also
has the best camera and is it your favorite phone because it has pure google
because you have the
android it's the latest android which is kind of hard to find and then you get
obviously this pure
google experience and this amazing camera and a
