No longer rely on the movie machine, why can the mobile phone record 8K video?

Looking back on the development of mobile phone photography, from the initial single shot to the present five shots; From the earliest 1 1 10,000 pixels to the highest 1 100,000 pixels, we can see that mobile phone imaging technology is constantly breaking through and innovating. With the popularity of smart phones, it directly promotes the popularity of shooting equipment. Compared with expensive and bulky cameras, mobile phones have become a photo artifact that everyone can carry with them. At the same time, mobile phone manufacturers have also developed a variety of shooting modes to meet the needs of consumers and enhance the competitiveness of their products. Just this year, Samsung Galaxy S20 series and Xiaomi 10 series equipped with Snapdragon 865 have made great progress in ultra-high definition shooting, and even mobile phones can record 8K videos.

8k video means that the resolution reaches 7680? The video of 4320 is 16 times that of the full HD video that we are in daily contact with, that is, the video with the resolution of 1920x 1080, just like the resolution difference between 1 100 million pixel lens and 8 million pixel lens. The higher the resolution, the more pixels there will be, the more density of color blocks in the recorded picture, and the pattern made of color blocks can contain more picture details. So even if magnified multiple times, every frame of 8K video is still as clear as a photo. It coincides with the rapid development of 5G network, and its high-speed and low-latency characteristics also solve the problem that transmitting 8K video requires a lot of bandwidth.

Before, we only heard of 8k shooting in the professional film-level field. At present, there are still few cameras that can shoot 8k video, and the equipment that can shoot 8K video must be very expensive. However, this situation has changed with the launch of the new flagship mobile phone this year. At present, both Samsung Galaxy S20 series and Xiaomi 10 series have supported the shooting and recording of 8K video.

The higher the resolution of the image, the more data the camera needs to process, and the more difficult it is to convert the data into pictures and then into photos and videos through color matching and compression. So if you want to shoot high-resolution video, you need not only ultra-high pixel lenses, but also powerful chips. Thanks to the Spectra 480 ISP integrated by Xiaolong 865 platform and Snapdragon 865, it can process 2 billion pixels per second, support brand-new shooting features and functions, and bring a leap in image quality. In addition to 8K video, it also supports Dolby visual video, 960fps slow motion and other video shooting, and supports shooting photos up to 200 million pixels.

People always catch up with new technologies, and the improvement of living standards makes us have higher requirements for video quality. The emergence of 8k shooting equipment pushed the film to adopt 4k as the new standard, while Samsung Galaxy S20 series and Xiaomi 10 series virtually advanced the 8K era, opening up a new path for future mobile photography.
