Why don’t domestic mobile phones introduce the system? They are all about photography. Am I buying a camera?

It is undeniable that taking pictures is already a very important function on smartphones. Many users even look at the camera function first when buying a mobile phone. This is mainly because when we go out and encounter something interesting or interesting, we will definitely want to record the scene at that time and keep it for future review. Especially couples take photos or selfies of each other almost every day. And a mobile phone is an electronic product that can be carried almost everywhere, so taking pictures has naturally become a key function on the mobile phone. And since smartphones began to enhance their camera functions, professional digital cameras have become increasingly niche. Nowadays, when people travel, it is rare to see anyone taking photos with a SLR camera, and even very few people use a mirrorless camera. This is because for most people, traveling is still a physically demanding task, so naturally the fewer items you carry with you, the better. A smartphone that can be used to take pictures is naturally much more convenient than a professional digital camera.

Although there are also easy-to-carry card cameras in the digital camera category, at that time, due to the limitations of the body, this kind of camera could not use a very good lens, and the processor performance was far inferior to that of mobile phones, so the camera effect of the card camera was poor. Often not as good as a smartphone. Therefore, now few people bring digital cameras when traveling or outing. Basically, they take pictures with their mobile phones. In most ordinary situations, the camera capabilities of smartphones are comparable to those of professional cameras. Mobile phone manufacturers can also see this and will continue to enhance the camera capabilities of mobile phones. It is said that Apple’s camera optimization algorithm team has 800 people. Huawei and Xiaomi have also established separate imaging departments. Since mobile phone manufacturers have spent so much energy on improving mobile phone photography, they will naturally focus on the camera part of mobile phones during press conferences.

As for some netizens questioning why the system was not introduced at the press conference, only taking pictures. This is because major mobile phone manufacturers will hold a separate press conference for mobile phone systems. For example, Apple's WWDC2020 Developer Conference, which just ended on June 23, was specifically used to introduce the iOS 14 system. Huawei also has a separate HDC developer conference, and Xiaomi also has a MIDC developer conference. The system part is usually introduced at these conferences for application developers. There is no need to talk about it separately when releasing mobile phones. What's more, all manufacturers have only one operating system. No matter what mobile phone is released, it is equipped with the same operating system. It is impossible to talk about the system separately every time a conference is held. Therefore, in a general mobile phone conference, it is usually necessary to introduce the hardware part of the mobile phone. Mobile phone photography naturally belongs to the field of hardware, and naturally more time will be spent on explaining it. Finally, compared with other hardware of smartphones, photography is also an item that is relatively easy to achieve results. As long as mobile phone manufacturers are willing to spend money on hardware, such as using large-size CMOS, large-aperture lenses, etc., they can basically achieve obvious improvements, and the user's perception will also be obvious.
