Photography mobile phone evaluation

The naming of products often contains profound meanings. When you see ZTE Axon30 Ultra, it's easy to think of the word "standing at 30". In fact, ZTE is also looking forward to this. As for their own brands, measures, products, just in line with the literal translation of "building a solid foundation" in "Standing at Thirty":

1. After more than 30 years of ups and downs, ZTE has experienced ups and downs, but it still has the strength to stand up. The depth of precipitation accumulation can be regarded as "Lide";

2. In recent years. It has always shown its determination to return to the domestic smart phone terminal market and shouted out specific goals. This is a "statement".

3. Through the continuous iteration of products, it is "tenable" to re-enter the market, starting with the Axon30 Ultra, which has three main cameras with top innovation.

Just like a 30-year-old, he/she who has experienced the peak of youth or the low period of rebellion can face everything with a more calm and detached attitude by virtue of his/her superior experience. But fundamentally speaking, standing at the age of 30 doesn't mean what you did at the age of 30, but what you know better at the age of 30-ZTE mobile phone is at this stage at present.

Whether people live well or not depends on their daily operations; Whether the brand can stand the test of the market depends on the product-the importance of standing in the market with the product is self-evident. Does ZTE have the strength to return to the domestic market and face the competition? Axon30 Ultra is an intuitive window and concrete carrier for outsiders and users to spy. So like you, I am also interested in the first flagship Axon30 Ultra after ZTE's comeback. Next, let's try to see if ZTE Axon30 Ultra can "stand at the age of 30" with a comprehensive experience from point to surface and from zero to complete.

Before the release of ZTE Axon30 Ultra, the official exposed its imaging system in detail. After the new machine started, we also tested the imaging ability of this new machine at the first time.

At present, there are traces to follow in the upgrade of smart phone photography-customizing oversized CMOS and creating a shooting solution in conjunction with camera companies have become a trend. However, ZTE did not copy the answer this time, but gave a new answer in another way: in terms of hardware, ZTE Axon30 Ultra has a built-in three-camera solution without several lenses; In terms of software, many wonderful shooting experiences have been realized through the fusion algorithm of multi-channel ISP.

Looking back, if the first generation of ZTE's parallel dual camera and Nubian shooting star are just energy storage, then at the camera level of this generation of Axon30 Ultra, people can see its thick accumulation and thin hair after "standing at the age of 30". The official uses "opening the third era of moving images" to define ZTE Axon30 Ultra's trinity multi-camera array fusion image, from which we can also feel its confidence.

64 million ultra-wide angle: ultra-low distortion 120 wide angle

64 million Superman: the only 35mm equivalent focal length in the industry.

6400 Wan Chao photosensitive main camera: Sony IMX686 outsole, 7P lens, f 1.6 large aperture, supporting OIS anti-shake.

8 megapixel super zoom periscope camera: 5 times dimming, 60 times mixed zoom, supporting OIS optical image stabilization.

Compared with "one main camera+multiple auxiliary cameras" widely used in the industry, ZTE Axon30 Ultra is epoch-making equipped with three main cameras with 64 million pixels, which is similar to the12 million rear camera of Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max, but compared with Axon30 Ultra, the pixel level is obviously higher, and it also brings13.

The imaging quality depends not only on the hardware parameters, but also on the calculation and synthesis of the new algorithm of ZTE Axon30 Ultra. In other words, it can capture images or videos of multiple cameras with different focal lengths at the same time, and finally present an innovative full-focal-length photo or short film after fusion calculation by the processor. After the shooting is completed, you can also directly view the picture of the whole photo at different focal lengths. The experience of "shooting first and then zooming" is quite novel.

In the process of experiencing shooting, I was deeply impressed by the precise color and white balance of ZTE Axon30 Ultra, especially the color reproduction is almost close to the naked eye, and the details are not distorted after amplification. But it doesn't support macro function, and it can only be shot with telephoto zoom, and the effect is good.

In terms of night scene, the overall performance of ZTE Axon30 Ultra is ok, but the glare control part needs to be improved. At the moment when shooting the moon is almost flooding, ZTE Axon30 Ultra also creatively brought the beyond-the-moon mode. The shot moon can be zoomed in and out with one button, which perfectly blends with the scenery, greatly enhancing the fun and playability.

The shooting interface of ZTE Axon30 Ultra is set with five zoom gears: 0.5 times, 1 times, 2 times, 5 times and 60 times. However, after 1 time, followed by 2 times, there is little difference. After 5 times, jump directly to the highest 60 times, which always feels a little jumping. In addition, it may be that this is an original engineering machine in my hand, so there is a jam when zooming, and the picture shakes when shooting at 60 times zoom. In this regard, ZTE said that in the officially commercialized products, these problems have been solved through firmware upgrades.

(1 x, 2 x, 5 x, 60 x zoom)

However, the defects have not been covered up. Even if this ZTE Axon30 Ultra is the first generation engineering machine, its zoom shooting clarity is still very good. Quite stable, 5 times focal length is available. Overall experience: The completion and surprise of ZTE Axon30 Ultra multi-camera array camera are satisfactory.

Multi-camera array fusion images have the characteristics of "wider format and finer details", which makes photography break the shackles of time and space. This is why the official announcement of ZTE Axon30 Ultra opens a new era of photography. If it is said in other places, it may be controversial, but the innovative shooting module of ZTE Axon30 Ultra should be able to reach a consensus. Perhaps in the next step, we will see more products of the same level adopt multi-camera solutions, and then don't forget the trend that all this may be led by ZTE Axon30 Ultra.

ZTE and Huawei, as the originator of China's telecommunications field, have forged the image of a big country with domestic information infrastructure and set sail overseas, and the accumulation of communication-related technologies is the least to worry about. ZTE Axon30 Ultra's 5G super antenna system and numerous network switching and acceleration technologies make the mobile phone download faster when the signal is strong, and the signal is more stable when the signal is weak, which greatly reduces the delay and disconnection.

(The signal strength, call and download speed of stairwells and underground garages are excellent)

Through actual measurement, ZTE Axon30 Ultra signal always stays online in closed or semi-open places such as stairwells and underground garages. Even if there is only one or two signals, the call quality is still stable and clear, and the powerful technical advantages of the big factory are fully reflected at this time.

In terms of performance, ZTE Axon30 Ultra is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 888, the latest 5nm process technology, and the Lingxi AI engine independently developed, which directly transfers 3GB from idle memory to virtual storage memory fusion technology, and cooperates with UFS3. 1+LPDDR5 enhanced version +Wi-Fi6E technology to improve performance in all directions.

When playing "the glory of the king", thanks to the escort of the hardware and software of the whole machine, as well as the blessing of 144H high brush and 300Hz touch sampling, the frame rate of ZTE Axon30 Ultra remained at 89.8fps, and there was almost no big fluctuation during the period; Moreover, the linear motor and dual speakers make the "position recognition by listening to sound" and "feeling at the touch" more accurate and three-dimensional.

In terms of battery life, ZTE Axon30 Ultra has a built-in 4600mAh large-capacity battery and is equipped with a 66W charger supporting Qualcomm QC4+ protocol. According to the actual measurement, the glory of the king consumes 6% of electricity for half an hour, watches videos for half an hour, brushes Tik Tok for half an hour and takes photos for half an hour, and consumes 1 1%. The final remaining power is 7 1%. The battery life is quite satisfactory, but it is enough to meet the daily use needs of a day.

In addition, it was found during the test; When ZTE Axon30 Ultra recorded video, the camera area was a little hot, but the normal temperature was acceptable. After all, the cooperation of the three main cameras consumes a lot. When playing the glory of the king, the screen heating control is always good. Although preheating began after 5 minutes, the heat did not continue to increase, which shows that ZTE Axon30 Ultra is powerful in energy consumption control.

As for the appearance, ZTE Axon30 Ultra has added a tougher linear expression. The machine adopts a new generation of Corning Gorilla glass body before and after, which has high hardness, scratch resistance and very high quality effect, and looks natural and elegant to the naked eye. 20:9 ratio of 70 radians on the side, slender and soft, the fuselage is only 188g, and the thickness is 8.0mm, so it does not feel like falling. Such a thin internal space can also be stuffed into a large battery of 4600mAh, and the utilization rate of fuselage space is definitely the industry leader. The accumulation of ZTE technology can be seen.

On the front of the fuselage, ZTE Axon30 Ultra is a 6.67-inch AMOLED flexible curved screen. Although the16 megapixel front camera adopts the design of a central hole, the design of equal width on four sides makes its overall screen ratio reach 95%. With FHD+ resolution of 2400x 1080, DCI-P3 color gamut of 100%, and extreme display of/kloc-0.07 billion colors, the colors are clear and gorgeous when watching pictures and videos.

In addition, ZTE Axon30 Ultra also supports intelligent switching of four refresh rates: 60Hz, 90Hz, 120H and 144Hz, which is suitable for different scenes such as games, shopping and browsing, saving energy consumption. After switching, the status bar will also show the current refresh rate level, and this little detail is also interesting.

As for practicality, just take a few screens to see it. For example: streamer desktop with high playability, unique interface sinking function, small window triggered by sidebar quickly, three flexible independent licensing options and so on. With the amazing colors, brand-new UI and security protection brought by MyOS 1 1, you can put your own aesthetics and brain holes into AXON30 Ultra as long as you like and have ideas.

To sum up, there are actually three words: good-looking, easy to use and rest assured. However, I still want to give some advice to ZTE Axon30 Ultra. It may be because the curved screens on both sides are too narrow and easy to touch by mistake. And MyOS 1 1 has no relevant setting options to prevent accidental touch. I hope this can be optimized in subsequent updates.

As the world's leading provider of integrated communication information solutions, ZTE has undoubtedly accumulated profound technology. In the past two years, ZTE mobile phone has also undergone drastic changes, adjusting channels, brands, products, design, image and other dimensions, and striving to change its image as a scientific and technological person who is too close to technology and too far away from users. And also shouted the goal of "returning to the domestic public's field of vision in three years and entering the first-line brand team in five years".

In the face of the middle-aged crisis and involution anxiety in the industry, do mobile phone manufacturers compete with each other or go with the flow? The answer given by ZTE mobile phone is clear: it does not blindly follow the industry, nor does it speculate and imitate, but stands on its own independent thinking and solutions. Based on the past, ZTE stands out from three aspects: innovative technology, product maturity and design interaction. Look at the whole picture through Axon30 Ultra: every quantifiable hardware configuration, even a single one, is the flagship level and even surpasses peers. It is not whimsical to stand in the industry.

ZTE's vision, goals and specific actions just explain the core meaning of "standing at 30": having its own precipitation and system, knowing what to do, re-standing in the highly competitive market through high-quality products, and completing a series of "standing" ceremonies with the attitude of knowing and doing.

"The mobile terminal industry is usually three to five years ahead, and the market will always change. We must be prepared before the change happens. " Ni Fei, the new president of ZTE Terminal, said this in an interview. If the Blade series and the off-screen camera are warm-up preparations, then the Axon30 Ultra means the real beginning, indicating that ZTE's mobile phone is back on track and ready to sprint, and it is possible to sprint in the next few years. Wait and see.
