Apple 7 P crushes Huawei P9? Whose dual camera phone is the best?

IT 168 evaluation is correct. Recently, we did a great thing, putting two heavyweight literary giants in the mobile phone circle together for positive PK. We have also announced before, that is, two dual-camera Huawei p9 and Apple's latest iPhone7 Plus.

One is the "Leica standard" yellow robe with poison and German flavor, and the other is Apple's latest flagship product that has been focusing on kidney cutting for many years. In short, gimmicks must be full. In the early stage of question collection, everyone was interested in the specific differences between the portrait modes of these two dual cameras and iPhone plus, so this time there are a lot of contents aimed at issues that everyone cares about.

By the way, the final model vote should also be announced here. Finally, based on the results of interviews and voting on both sides of it 168 (it 168sk), model Dandan became the photogenic heroine of our double-camera comparison.

The test center chose two groups, indoor and outdoor, one in Yanji has a bookstore and the other in Haidian Park.

1. Do you know anything about dual cameras?

As the name implies, dual cameras are two cameras. I have to mention the brand LG here, because LG can be regarded as the first batch to enter the dual camera field. In 20 1 1 year, a LG Optimus 3D mobile phone was introduced, which can achieve naked-eye 3D effect, and it was still a cool concept at that time. Later, HTC also produced some dual-camera products, but the overall hardware level was not as strong as it is now. So at that time, the dual cameras of mobile phones were more in the stage of a concept NB. Later, HTC did not completely give up dual cameras. Later, it also introduced some dual camera products with advanced concepts. For example, it can take a 360-degree panorama, but everyone later saw the status quo of HTC, which is another story.

A few years later, last year was 20 15. 360 is the first to introduce a dual camera with the concept of "color+black and white". Since then, some mainstream domestic mobile phone manufacturers have also begun to move closer to dual cameras.

Second, what are the types of dual cameras?

At present, the mainstream dual-camera schemes on the market are as follows:

1. color+black and white

The first dual-lens scheme is a dual-lens scheme of "color+black and white" like Huawei P9 and earlier 360 flagship phones. That is, the color lens is responsible for recording color information, and the other black-and-white lens is responsible for increasing the amount of light entering (the black-and-white lens does not need to record color information, and the sensor directly feels more light source information). The advantage is that there will be less noise and better picture quality under the same conditions.

2. Double lenses with the same pixel and the same focal length

This scheme is that the parameters and specifications of the two lenses are the same, just like two human eyes, the number of pixels will double when two identical pixel sensors record. At the same time, this design will double the amount of light entering, and the image quality will be better if the photosensitive effect is good. Moreover, two lenses can be used to ensure the number of different exposures, and then a photo similar to HDR effect can be synthesized. There are many ways to play the same pixel dual lens, and it is also the safest dual lens scheme.

3. Wide angle+telephoto

Another solution is this application on iPhone7 plus, which uses a combination of wide-angle lens and telephoto lens. The dual lens of iPhone7 plus has two lenses with different focal lengths, the wide-angle lens is 28mm f/.8 (50% higher than the lens of iPhone 6s f/2.2) and the telephoto lens is 56mm f/2.8. Although the aperture is not large, it is completely equivalent to a lens with a standard focal length, which is more conducive to taking portraits.

4. One is responsible for imaging and the other is responsible for recording depth of field information.

This method is a scheme used by HTC ONE M8, which is blurred obviously and can even be focused after taking pictures, but because of the large amount of information, the capacity of a single file is very large. The previously released Red Rice Pro also adopted this scheme. However, the disadvantage is often that the blurring is too stiff and the transition is unnatural.

Let's compare these two products.

iPhone 7 Plus

Apple iPhone 7 Plus adopts a combination of one long and one short, with a wide-angle lens equivalent to 28mm and a maximum aperture of f/ 1.8. The telephoto lens is equivalent to 56mm, with a maximum aperture of f/2.8, and has 2 times optical zoom and 10 times digital zoom.

Adding a dual optical zoom will make this change more practical. 56mm can be used to take some close-ups, but unlike Huawei P9, these two lenses don't work at the same time all the time. When using the traditional 1x zoom, they mainly use a 28 mm wide-angle lens.

However, I still have some opinions on these two lenses, because it is equipped with two fixed-focus lenses, but the zoom process from 28mm to 56 mm is digital zoom, so my previous understanding of 2 times lossless image quality can only achieve lossless shooting at a fixed focal length of 2 times 56 mm.

First, the portrait mode blessing really makes me worship.

Although Apple's iPhone 7 Plus is equipped with dual cameras this time, if Apple did not develop a "portrait mode" for the iPhone 7 Plus, this phone is basically equivalent to a Boeing plane without an engine. Because twice the focal length can't actually lift the G-spot of the party with my hands. However, it is with Apple's latest portrait mode that the hardware devices of iPhone7 Plus are fully activated. The obvious and relatively natural blur effect makes iPhone 7 Plus take portraits, which can be said to kill all mobile phones at the same level. Basically, if you buy this mobile phone, you don't have to spend more money to buy a 2000-3000 yuan micro-single or DC camera.

As for the effect, let's talk about it with a sample. Most of the following photos were taken in portrait mode of iPhone 7 Plus, without any cropping, and later used VSCO for color matching.

Atlas iPhone7 Plus double-shot decent picture freshly baked.

If I just look at the proofs, it is basically difficult for me to tell whether it was taken by a mobile phone or a camera. I wrote an article "Apple finally cured my choice phobia after the iPhone7 plus came out", which once said that the "dual camera+portrait mode" of iPhone 7 Plus was the biggest reason that attracted me. In fact, it's really amazing after I took it with this mobile phone (if you want to use this latest portrait mode of Apple, there is a tutorial behind it).

But! It's not that the portrait mode of this phone is perfect, but that some problems have been found during the use.

① It's really embarrassing that telephoto is not anti-shake!

Because the portrait mode uses a lens with a focal length of 56mm, although the two lenses work together, the telephoto lens of the iPhone 7 Plus has no anti-shake, and the anti-shake gives a wide-angle 28mm lens. So this makes it very easy to be virtual when using portrait mode, plus the original body size of iPhone7 Plus is large, and I also have a mobile phone case.

Virtual!

Virtual!

Keep it empty!

For me, who can hold the operation with one hand every day, I really can't keep it stable for a long time when taking pictures, so many photos are because the pictures are not good, and then I just choose a film and pass it directly, and it's completely because the photos are empty.

(2) Although it is vague, it is not perfect when you look at it carefully.

The official portrait proofs released at the Apple conference can see obvious blurring effect, but friends who know a little about sensor knowledge should know that even if the iPhone 7 Plus is equipped with a long lens equivalent to 56mm, it is difficult to directly achieve the blurring effect as in the proofs according to its sensor size.

This updated portrait mode was officially launched at the previous Apple product launch conference. In principle, the scene is recognized layer by layer, and then the fuzzy effect is simulated.

This is the problem. After all, it is simulated, so in some scenes, the edges can still see obvious layering, some scenes that are obviously in the same focal plane will be blurred, but some will not be blurred.

For example, in the picture below, what does the same projector mean, half empty and half solid?

When you zoom in carefully, the edge of a character sometimes has a clear dividing line.

In particular, the space for taking pictures of flowers is complicated, and it is also drunk to suddenly stretch out a flower among the flowers of "Jiao Wai".

Therefore, this portrait mode seems to be really only suitable for shooting portraits and pictures with less complicated shooting environment, and it is better to recognize when the subject is large.

(3) The distance is limited and the light is limited.

In portrait mode, the shooting distance is limited. IPhone 7 Plus will identify the details according to the subject and prompt it on the screen. If the distance is too far, it will prompt "put the subject within 2.5 meters", and if the distance is too close, it will prompt "move a little farther". When the yellow "depth of field effect" appears on the screen, it means that the distance is within the appropriate range.

Similarly, if there is not enough light to use portrait mode when shooting, the screen will prompt "More light is needed", which means that the system needs enough light for scene analysis.

At the same time, this portrait mode cannot be applied to video shooting.

But at present, you can only use portrait mode by upgrading to the developer version, so you can only experience this function through the portrait mode of the developer version. As for the future official version, we will further analyze it after the official update of Apple.

huawei p9

The launch of Huawei P9 once brought the topic of dual cameras to a new height, Sony's sensor+Leica's certified lens+Yu Shun OEM. Huawei P9 can be regarded as the mobile phone with the highest B frame and dual cameras. Because this mobile phone has passed the certification of Leica in Germany, there is a Rolls Royce in the camera and a yellow robe of Leica is a great advantage.

As you can see, there are several nouns near Huawei P9 dual lens. Summit stands for Huawei P9 with Leica Summit series optical technology, H stands for customized Huawei, 1:2.2/27 stands for these two lenses with a maximum aperture of 2.2 equivalent to 27mm, and ASPH stands for aspherical mirror.

First, "color+black and white" is worthy of the name and has advantages in details.

Huawei P9 dual camera adopts Sony IMX286 sensor,120,000 pixels, and Sony IMX Mono black and white sensor. The color lens is responsible for capturing color information, the black and white lens is used to enhance the expressive force of details, and the two lenses work at the same time.

The principle is also mentioned above-that is, the color lens is responsible for recording color information, and the other black-and-white lens is responsible for increasing the light input (the black-and-white lens does not need to record color information, and the sensor directly feels more light source information). The advantage is that there will be less noise and better picture quality under the same conditions. Although Huawei P9' s dual lens does not adopt the long-short scheme, it focuses on how to improve the image quality.

So what's the performance of Huawei P9? Let's take a look directly at the proofs.

By comparing the image quality of the two groups under the unified light source in the evaluation room, it can be clearly seen that there are some differences in details between the two products.

First, look at the comparison of the dollar head in the first picture. Because both phones use a12 megapixel sensor, the resolution performance is almost the same.

The contrast of the text on the second side is very different. To my surprise, the edge performance of Huawei P9 is much better than that of iPhone 7 Plus. Later, I thought about it. After all, this is a Leica-certified lens. It seems that Huawei P9 is really remarkable in marginal performance.

The last two are details with some dark light. Theoretically, Huawei P9' s black-and-white sensor should be able to absorb more light sources and perform better in the dark than iPhone 7 Plus. In fact, according to the proofs, Huawei P9 is indeed better than iPhone 7 Plus in dark details, mainly by comparing the details of gray fabric for the third time and purple fabric for the fourth time.

Before this comparison, I personally held a wait-and-see attitude. After all, as a fruit fan for many years, I know that Apple is very reliable and excellent in imaging. At present, from the performance of Huawei P9, I also admit that the "color+black and white" scheme has its own advantages in the detail performance of image quality.

Second, the black-and-white model is quite virtuous.

Another advantage of Huawei P9 is that this product has excellent black-and-white mode. Because it is equipped with a black and white sensor alone, only the black and white sensor works when using the black and white mode. Most other mobile phone products are converted from black and white by color sensors.

Black-and-white photos often give people a more "compelling" feeling than color photos, and the black-and-white mode brought by Huawei P9 can also be seen on the proofs, with better gray scale and more natural level transition, giving people a stronger sense of light and shadow interlacing, which is indeed more attractive than the black-and-white mode of ordinary mobile phones.

Third, the original color is amazing.

After a day of shooting Huawei P9 and iPhone 7 Plus, the first time is to look back at the photos on the computer. Although you can see directly on the screen that the Huawei P9 sample looks a little more saturated than the iPhone 7 Plus sample, at first I thought it was just the difference on the screen.

But after watching the original film on the computer, I made a new discovery. Huawei P9 is indeed more saturated than iPhone 7 Plus when the original film is straight out, which means that the color as the saying goes is more pleasing. Even the original film of Huawei P9, I don't think it needs much post-toning.

-The following is the original sample of Huawei P9-

Atlas Leica "Dewei" blessed Huawei P9 mobile phone real shot proofs.

Not only that, Huawei also provides "bright" and "soft" color styles for users who like different color styles, and users can boldly adopt these two color styles to take some photos with different styles.

The color of Huawei P9 original film is actually good, but in the two color modes of "bright" and "soft", it can add a lot of color to the photo, and "soft" is much softer than "bright". If you record your daily life, take photos and make friends, these color modes are basically equivalent to saving users a lot of trouble in later color matching.

Fourth, the camera has more functions than the iPhone.

Huawei's P9 camera interface is very rich, which can also be counted as the advantage of Android phone compared with iPhone. The top provides the functions of flash switch, large aperture mode, real-time filter and switching between front and rear lenses, which can be used quickly as long as it is simple and practical.

The high-level operation mainly enters the secondary menu interface through "sliding". The specific operation is to slide right to enter the mode function interface, slide left to enter the setting menu interface, and slide up to enter the professional mode (shooting RAW format files). These three interfaces and top buttons contain all the shooting functions of Huawei P9.

① Large aperture special effects mode

Another feature of Huawei P9 is the large aperture special effect mode. When shooting, you can freely adjust the aperture size from f/0.95 to f/ 16. After shooting, you can also use the "large aperture effect" mode to adjust the photo for the second time, and change the focus position and aperture value of the sample according to your own needs.

However, it also simulates the blur effect of large aperture. The blurred part of the photo taken by Huawei P9' s large aperture special effect mode will be slightly blurred, which is very blunt blur. According to the effect of background blur, iPhone 7 Plus is definitely the most natural thing I have ever seen.

But remember what we said before about the shortcomings of iPhone 7 Plus in identifying complex scenes? Although Huawei P9, a large aperture special effect mode, is also analog, the focus position can be manually adjusted, which relatively avoids the phenomenon of semi-fuzzy and semi-real on the iPhone 7 Plus.

However, if I am taking a portrait, I personally should choose the iPhone 7 Plus, mainly because I prefer the perspective of 56mm focal length.

② PROfessional Pro shooting mode with strong customization.

In addition to providing photographers with reference lines and real-time filters, it also provides photographers with a professional mode, which photographers can use to get the best shooting results. This is the "professional" shooting mode of Huawei P9.

At the bottom of the photo interface, there is a rounded rectangle with a triangle on it. Click it, and a professional photo interface will appear. Professional parameters such as ISO, shutter and white balance can be adjusted manually. Although there is a certain distance from professional cameras, this mode greatly improves the photographer's ability to control photos, and can also shoot RAW files for post-processing. I believe it can help photographers to take more satisfactory mobile phone photos.

The size of RAW files shot in "professional" mode is about 5 times that of ordinary JPG files. RAW files record the original information of unprocessed pictures, and photographers can adjust the pictures to the desired effect to the maximum extent through post-processing. The advantages of RAW are not much to say here, but Huawei P9 can directly choose to shoot RAW format in the machine, while iPhone 7/iPhone 7 Plus can only shoot DNG files through the third-party lightroom APP.

3 must-have selfie beauty

Perhaps the Android camera knows more about the usage habits of Asian users, so the beauty selfie function has basically become the standard function of every Android phone (looking at the iPhone next to it), which is also an important function for girls to pass directly if the effect is not good.

Huawei P9 also comes with a self-portrait of beauty skin, which can adjust the beautification level 10 file according to its own situation. From the effect, the beauty is more natural, and there is no deformation on the face. As for the effect, it is up to the officials themselves to decide.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that in photo editing, Huawei P9 mobile phone can automatically recognize portraits, and you can perform skin beautifying, smoothing, whitening, facial acne removing, face-lifting to highlight, eye enlargement, eye pouch removal, eye strengthening and even tooth whitening with one click, which is very easy to use and the effect is very obvious. I believe that girls will like this function.

I have a high-definition Leica watermark. Do you?

Don't worry if you don't think the push bar is high enough. Huawei P9 provides the popular Leica watermarking function. Just click "Open" after setting the "Automatic Watermark" item in the menu interface before taking photos.

Leica watermarks are automatically added to photos taken later (except streamer shutter and large aperture mode).

④ reference line assisted composition

For many friends who don't know much about photographic composition, Huawei P9 supports four reference lines: Jiugongge, Golden Section, Left Spiral and Right Spiral. Also, before taking pictures, enter the setting menu interface and click the "reference line" item to make a selection. These four kinds of reference lines are believed to provide some help in composition for users who don't understand photography.

"-gorgeous dividing line.

The following is the summary. Through the comparison between Huawei P9 and iPhone 7 Plus, we can easily find that iPhone 7 Plus has dual lens and portrait mode, which makes this phone even more powerful when shooting portrait subjects (sorry, I like this effect too much). This is an advantage that I think is superior to many products, which once again proves that Apple really has this strength if it wants to do well (otherwise, why does Apple spend so much money?

Huawei P9, though it doesn't have Apple's long focal length and natural blur in portrait shooting, is superior in camera function, professional operation and performance of many functions.

I wonder if foreign monks are not good at chanting scriptures. In short, domestic mobile phone manufacturers will add many auxiliary camera functions to their mobile phones, such as beauty, such as professional "M" mode or some composition curves. But this is absolutely invisible on the current Apple mobile phone. If you want to use it on Apple, you can only use a third-party APP.

So it's hard for me to say which of the two is the best overall. I can only say that if you take a portrait, you really recommend the iPhone 7 Plus (but the later photos must be colored to look good). If you shoot more themes, Huawei P9 will definitely be more playable and operable than iPhone 7 Plus.

So how to choose, according to your personal needs, we just provide you with a reference.

Yeah, just the sauce. ....

On the acquisition of apple portrait mode;

If you still want to get the portrait mode of the current iphone, you need the system developer version pushed by Apple, and install an Apple description file (only supporting iPhone 7 Plus) before getting the system update.
