I am planning for a trip to Maine on 5th June. I want to do Puffin watching and Whale watching. Is it possible to do it at that time? Also any suggestions for any tour operator who does this kind of tours.
I switched from S23U -> X9U and couldn't be happier about it. I am yet to fully test the video capabilities but am absolutely in love with the photo capabilities.
One thing is for sure though- this phone is not if you just want to point and shoot - you can get better similar if not better images for lesser price from Samsung/ Apple (esp. if you are in US like me where Oppo is not directly available). This camera shines if you want to use the phone like a pro camera, playing with ISO/ Shutter speed/ focus, shooting in raw, editing the images later to make the art that you envisioned while clicking the photo.
The battery life is good but doesn't really feel like 7050mAh. I started the day with 100% with a full day of photoshoot and Lightroom+ harsh sunlight during the day, by the end of the day it was 11%. I would have been impressed if it was 30%+.
ColorOS is absolutely gorgeous, it's so much smooth and fun to use with lots of customization options. My wife uses Apple and she also admired the absolute buttery feeling of ColorOS.
Sharing some samples of photos that I took.
