A new generation of trend night shooting artifacts? Huawei nova5 Pro selfie evaluation

In the past few years, the domestic mobile phone industry has experienced a transition from incremental market to stock market. After being bombarded by the low-cost strategies of major manufacturers, consumers gradually lose interest in products with high cost performance and are more willing to accept products with exquisite industrial design and differentiated functions.

Huawei is clearly aware of this trend, aiming at the needs of young consumers to pursue personalized appearance and love selfies. In 20 16, the nova series of mobile phones were launched in a targeted manner, with face value and self-timer as the main selling points of this series. The slogan of "poster-level selfie" was played on nova3, which can directly output 24 million pixels of high-definition movies, and each pixel is generated by real light. Upgrading to nova4, thanks to the hardware advantages of independent NPU of Kirin processor, while upgrading the sensor specifications, we added "AI Micro-plastic Beauty" to provide users with customized beauty solutions.

With the latest nova5 Pro, nova began to focus on solving the pain points of users taking selfies at night, and turned the nova5 series into a nighttime selfie artifact. How is the performance of this mobile phone? Can taking selfies at night improve the imaging quality? Let's watch together.

The key problem affecting the imaging effect at night is insufficient light. Mobile phone is a product with very high integration and extremely precise internal structure, so it is limited by the size of the fuselage. The image sensor of focused imaging is much smaller than the camera, and its sensitivity in weak light is naturally not as good as that of the camera. Nevertheless, because of its portability and irreplaceability in communication, mobile phones are still the first choice for many people, especially young people, to take pictures.

Speaking of light, I believe everyone will think of adding a front fill light to the mobile phone at the first time, so that they can take an ideal selfie even in a completely dark environment. However, at present, the full screen has become the aesthetic trend of the public, and everyone is doing subtraction for the front panel, which makes manufacturers have to adopt compromise solutions, such as screen fill light.

Huawei's nova5 series provides the annular fill light function of the screen "magic mirror". After starting the camera, the system will automatically judge the light intensity and automatically turn on the fill light in low light. Different from the screen fill light of general mobile phones, the screen of Huawei nova5 Pro is always on when it is filled with light, unlike the flashing fill light, which makes people feel dazzling. In addition, the photos obtained after annular fill light are more natural and softer than ordinary full-screen fill light.

In addition to using ring screen fill light to make up for the lack of light at night, Huawei nova5 Pro is naturally equipped with industry-class camera hardware. Its front camera uses a 32-megapixel sensor with a large aperture of f/2.0. Ultra-high pixel output can directly improve the resolution of the picture and record more details. At the same time, with the help of 4-in-1 pixel technology, this sensor can increase the unit pixel area to 1.6μm, enhance the light sensitivity and ensure the brightness and clarity of the picture in low light environment.

With powerful hardware as the foundation, Huawei naturally has a broader space for algorithm optimization. Huawei applied the performance advantages of Kirin chip NPU to the imaging field, and integrated AI algorithm with HDR, which enabled nova5 Pro to obtain excellent backlight imaging capability. At the same time, Huawei nova5 Pro's beauty algorithm is further upgraded to provide customized beauty solutions that vary from person to person.

As can be seen from the above daytime selfie photos, Huawei nova5 Pro can give consideration to the reasonable exposure of human faces in the backlight environment, and can also suppress the highlights of photos and retain the details of the background. In addition, Huawei's nova5 Pro will also give full play to the ultra-high resolution of 32 million pixels. At the same time, it also retains the detailed features of the face, and every detail can see the hair.

At night, Huawei nova5 Pro provides portrait super night view mode to help users get better self-portrait effect. In this mode, the original RAW image is generated by four-in-one ray fusion, and then the image is processed by AI algorithm. For the subject, the innovative high-sensitivity portrait algorithm is used to brighten, enhance and beautify the subject to make it clearer. For background illumination, an algorithm is used to reduce brightness, and for dark scenes, a night scene synthesis algorithm is used to brighten and reduce noise. Finally, the portrait subject and background are finally synthesized to bring a portrait self-portrait photo at night.

It can be seen from the obtained portrait photos that in the dark environment, Huawei nova5 Pro first ensures the normal exposure of the face and the subject, and at the same time restores the very dim background through algorithm synthesis, taking into account the details of the dark part of the photo.

Through half a year's iteration, Huawei nova gradually understands young consumers and deeply explores the needs of young users. And nova's insight into the young market is becoming more and more accurate and unique. After this period of experience accumulation, Huawei nova5 series is expected to become a new generation of trend photo artifacts.
