you're wrong about the camera. it has more granular control compare to other tablets' camera. swipe the camera icon to your left to shows up the control
+thewebmogul The processor on this tablet cant even play 4k video where as you can fully edit and render 4k video on iPad and soon there will be better support and updates for iPad pro
+Prasad Bankar that is bullshit, it can even display 4k using an external monitor, rendering and editing of 4k is also possible, what is you point? play a 4k video? sure u can but whats the point?
I'm thinking of replacing my iPad Air this year. I was wondering if this was still worth getting or should I get an iPad Pro 9.7? Or is there a surface 4 (non pro). Also i don't use my iPad for photos nor would I use this for photos. I don't think people do. They would use it for video chatting and not much else.
great video. However you got some things wrong. Example, there are camera option. The windows 10 camera app works just like the Lumia Camera App, which means you can pull the photo shutter to the left and this brings all manual photos option. In general, that's a great video. I think the 2 in 1 devices like the Surface 3 will be more and more popular in the next year, following the general decline of tablets. They are powerful enough for general usages, they are full blown PCs in a small form factor and they are some much options to choose from. This leaves less and less rooms for "traditional" android tablets and iPad.
Who the fuck does video editing on a tablet? Of all the examples of cases where it could possibly short of desired performance, why on earth would you choose that?
lool i certainly dont buy a tablet to take pictures or video, so this looks like a great option for me. I need it to run some full programs and also mostly consume media. The battery chargeing time is off puting though so think ill wait for surface 4
Did you actually use the camera for more than a few minutes? You're completely wrong about the app. There are a lot more configurable options. It makes me wonder if you really used the device? The images you posted did not reflect your narrative either for the image quality of the camera. Pretty disappointed with phone arena and their review of this product.
This is not fair. How can you compare a phone operating system, consumption device against a full blown pc/tablet hybrid? The iPad Pro should be compared against other consumption devices that run phone operating systems like Android. The iPad Pro will sell because it has an Apple logo on it and for no other reason.
Video editing? Lol, people who do that kind of stuff on their PC/Tablet rather buy the Pro version. This tablet got the rating of 8 because it doesn't have an Apple logo on it... if it had, then this one would surely get 9.2~9.3, because PA ignore most of the cons that Surface 3 has. Please don't be biased to Apple, PA... We want a fair review.
You are far better off getting the surface Pro 3 low end model for the same price if not cheaper now - it's faster, with better screen and comes a 'free' pen lol this thing is way underpowered for a full windows experience and way too expensive for what you get.
who would buy this? Ipad beats it as a tablet and I would get a lenovo if I wanted a hybrid. Microsoft hasn't really sussed tablets out yet and I am not sure where this sits? I see where the Pro sits, a power user 's top choice. both are very niche products and it's a fail if they are competing against an ipad for sales. mind you behind the ipad the rest are just getting the scraps. I read an article that no one apart from Apple is making a profit from smart phones or tablets!
+amfrepo I would buy the shit out of this if I could afford it. Pretty screen, lightweight, easy to carry, has a decent keyboard (and could easily be paired with a 60% mechanical switch keyboard for an even better keyboard) and is more than powerful enough to handle my primary workloads.
It's idiotic to blow your money on this crap in which you pay for the name not the product! It's only cool because the industry says so, then people run out and buy it and then reality sets in!
why would you compare the surface to an ipad? sure the ipad last longer, but the surface is a computer, and is actually useful
ahahahha Im glad some one else. feels same way I do. who does that
you're wrong about the camera. it has more granular control compare to other tablets' camera. swipe the camera icon to your left to shows up the control
I rather have full windows 10 experience rather than iPad pro mobile experience.
+Tyler Mondano No, he isn't but you are!

+Prasad Bankar samsung did 4k video first. Is the new ipad pro display 4k? no. how about the iPhone 6s? no. But the sony Xperia z5 is.
I'm gonna laugh my ass off when they review the iPad pro and call it best bang for your buck.
hi! you did not review about the LTE?

Go forward
hey bro which camera are u using to do this video
I own this device I can't relate to this review. This tablet is amazing! My sis wanted to trade her iPad for it.
has the battery bulge on you yet?

the background music is a Telstra phone hold music. where did you get that?
Detailed and visual review. You covered many concerning topics. I feel comfortable knowing what I bought. Thank you.
I think you are the only good rewiewer on this youtube chanel
Dose it has a sim port?
+phonearena Is this coming to Verizon?
Maybe I'm old school but it's weird for me using Windows on small screens/tablets.
Hi. Got HTC Desire 610. Messages are being typed in one continuous row. Does anybody knows how to fix it? (to type messages in multiple rows). Thanks!
Wish they had at least put a Core M processor in it :(
Another great review JON!
Thanks!
this is good a mini laptop with LTE
Is LTE worth it?
128GB memory? Would that be storage and not memory?
+Steve's Videos and Reviews 128 DDR4 running at 8,000ghz with an Nvidia GPU ( GTX 980 )
***** Wrong its either 2GB ram with 54GB storage or 4GB ram with128GB storage.
www.microsoft.com/surface/en-us/products/surface-3
4hours charging time?! Crazy
why doesnt it come in verizon
When the he'll did full HD 1920 x 1280 not become detailed... especially on a 10.8 inch display? I think quad HD is spoiling people!
0:46 MicroSD? Should be Micro SIM

This companies do not get it, I want more than that small screen if I m gonna use a full desktop feature...13.3 is the bare minimun for a PC...
I think they was wanting a portable tablet, but I agree with you.
Could have been 10 inch, but likely not.
lool i certainly dont buy a tablet to take pictures or video, so this looks like a great option for me. I need it to run some full programs and also mostly consume media. The battery chargeing time is off puting though so think ill wait for surface 4

surface pro needs a graphic amplifier

+mdcabrera then apple shouldn't be billing it as a Surface Pro 4 competitor, maybe.

iPad forbids multitasking ...

the original iPad pro
um . . . I know windows 8 is a bad os . . . but it's definitely faster os than 7. It's just that those metro tiles . . . ughh
the "high end" atom x7 in this thing is a joke. performs the same as a snapdragon 800 which as itself is a joke
Mistakes, eMMC storage (sllllooooooooow), mic oust charging (sllllooooow) and tiny trackpad (clumsy and unresponsive).
@Nacho Biondi yeah right. You mean original copycat of surface 3. IPad pro a joke.

Apart from samsung but even there making small profits, nowadays

About 10x more useful than the stupid iPad pro
cool
your jaw movement from the back distracts me
omg
