Sony XZ2P vs Huawei P20 Pro Who is the King of Night Shooting?

IT 168 mobile phone photography evaluation has become a necessary reference item for users to buy mobile phones at present. Powerful camera functions allow users to have a variety of camera games and experiences. This year, every flagship camera in the Android market has been upgraded and adjusted for night shooting, from Samsung's f 1.5 large aperture to Huawei's P20 Pro Leica three-shot. Then there is Sony Xperia XZ2 Advanced Edition with integrated image processor, and each product has improved its photo quality in different ways. Today, we focus on the single item of night shooting, and make a simple comparison and evaluation between Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium and Huawei P20 Pro.

Sony XZ2P Premium is also Sony's first dual-camera phone. It adopts a black and white+color dual camera scheme, which combines the professional technology of Sony camera α and Cyber-shot series. It also achieved super-photosensitivity through the exclusive AUBE fusion image signal processor. In camera mode, ISO can reach up to 5 1200, and in camera mode, ISO can reach up to 12800. Sony. This also makes a further breakthrough in the shooting ability of this dual-camera phone in dark light.

In addition to the ultra-high ISO sensitivity, other specifications of Sony XZ2 high-quality dual camera are also considered as the leading level in the industry. Color camera190,000 pixels, sensor size 1/2.3 inches, single pixel area 1.22μm, and aperture1.8. The black-and-white camera is12 million pixels, and the sensor size is still 1/2.3 inches, which increases the single pixel area to 1.55μm and the aperture to F 1.6. In addition to the outstanding performance of dark light, relying on the single pixel large area and large aperture of black and white camera, it also gives strong support hardware support in the amount of light and detail performance.

The parameters of Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Edition are impeccable, so what is the performance of Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Edition camera? I use Huawei P20 Pro, the best camera in dark light, to compare with Sony, and talk about the imaging effect of this mobile phone by comparing the proofs.

▲ The overall brightness of the Sony XZ2P sample has improved a lot after turning on the super-sensitive mode.

In terms of resolution, XZ2 is high-quality and sharp, and the details in the large scene are completely preserved, which is also due to the blessing of XZ2 high-quality dual cameras. The large photosensitive area of the black-and-white camera makes the presentation details well preserved. As for Sony's smear algorithm, it has been greatly improved in the case of sufficient light. This is much better than the previous Sony mobile phone, and it also has a good performance compared with the flagship P20 Pro.

In a dark environment, Sony XZ2 Advanced Edition will automatically enable Super Sensitive Mode. In this mode, the mobile phone will automatically remind you to keep a distance above 1 m from the subject, thus achieving the purpose of ultra-sensitive noise reduction. Different from Huawei's super night scene mode, Sony XZ2 Premium mainly realizes this function through AUBE's ultra-high ISO and fused image signal processor, so it doesn't take Huawei 4 seconds to synthesize images. As can be seen from the above set of proofs, the photos of Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium will be brighter, the contrast will be improved, and the overall feeling will be more natural. Huawei is more accurate in details, and even the trees in the distant shadows that people can't see can be reflected in the photos.

It can be seen from the contrast photos of night scenes that the effect of super-sensitivity is immediate, which not only solves the problem that the light cannot be dimmed at night, but also basically restores the true color of the subject, which can be said to naturally restore the subject. Compared with Huawei P20 Pro, it has a slight deficiency in image purity, but the brightness and color reproduction are better.

Thanks to the support of dual cameras, the night shooting ability of XZ2 Advanced Edition has been greatly improved. In the low light environment, the noise is less, the picture brightness is higher, the straight color is also pleasing to the eye, the color saturation is high, and the overall look and feel is good. At present, the dual camera of XZ2 Premium only supports super-sensitive mode, and some other dual camera functions will be realized by software upgrade in the later stage.

Huawei P20 Pro can be said to be one of the best mobile phones for taking photos at present. Whether it is super night scene or AI automatic scene recognition, the camera parameter settings are very good. You can see the super strength of Sony mobile phones in shooting at night and Huawei P20 Pro, regardless of their height.

In addition to taking photos, Sony Xperia XZ2 Advanced Edition's 4K HDR video shooting ability can not be underestimated. Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Edition is the first mobile phone that supports 4K HDR display and 4K HDR video recording. Sony applied the standard of 4K camera to its mobile phone products. After HDR is turned on, the screen's width has been significantly improved and the color is closer to the real scene. The details of the dark parts of the trees in the picture are more complete, and the color of the trees has changed from dark green to turquoise, which is more realistic and has a better overall look and feel. At present, only Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Edition can do this.

Overall, the actual performance of Sony Xperia XZ2 Advanced Edition in low light environment is amazing. Even in the dim environment where the human eye can't recognize the object, you can use XZ2 Advanced Edition to shoot the object in front of you. Brand-new hardware has also developed dual-camera super-sensitive photography to a brand-new stage. In addition, the photography function provided by XZ2 Premium is more powerful, and the functions such as 4K HDR and freeze-motion slow shooting allow friends who like to shoot videos to have more shooting methods and video recording methods.
