Dual-camera black technology 360 cool mobile phone extreme photo experience

IT 168 Evaluation At the launch conference of 360 Qikuo mobile phone, Lao Zhou showed the black technology of dual cameras and claimed to be "the technology ahead of Apple's generation". In fact, there are many mobile phones with dual cameras in the circle. At that time, both HTC M8 and Huawei Glory 6 Plus adopted dual-camera design, but the 360 cool mobile phone was different from these. It combines a color lens with a black and white lens. The color lens is responsible for color, and the black and white lens is responsible for outline, detail and brightness. And what kind of experience and changes will this black technology design bring to our photos? Below, the author will take the flagship version of 360 Qikuo mobile phone in his hand and take you to appreciate the magic of double camera.

The quality of the photo experience is largely determined by the hardware, so what are the lens parameters of the flagship version of 360 Qikuo mobile phone? First, let's take a look.

Here, we help you explain the functions of these two cameras. IMX278 is the best13 megapixel sensor in the industry, which is responsible for recording colors. In addition to the traditional RGB red, green and blue colors, this sensor also adds W white pixels, which improves the brightness of high contrast environment by 40% and reduces the noise of low light environment by 78%. Another custom IMX MONO black-and-white camera is responsible for the outline, details and brightness. It is a fully transparent sensor, and its light input is four times that of ordinary color sensor. Compared with iPhone 6 Plus, Qikuo mobile phone has 2.5 times as much light as Apple, and almost all light is directly transmitted to the sensor and captured, so it can effectively improve pixel details.

Dual cameras also bring more focusing advantages. First of all, IMX278 natively supports phase focusing and contrast focusing, which has good performance, and the design of dual cameras will bring a new choice of triangular focusing, that is, by calculating the angle between the subject and the two lenses, supplemented by the distance between the two lenses, the distance of the subject can be accurately calculated, thus simplifying the focusing steps and quickly reaching the position at one time. This is still very superior in my experience, especially at night, and it also has reliable focusing performance.

360 Qikuo Mobile Phone Camera Interface and Filter Selection

In the design and operation logic of the camera interface, 360 Qikuo mobile phone pursues simplicity, low learning cost and easy to use. There are options such as flash, HDR and lens at the top of the interface. You can browse the photo album in the lower left corner and choose a variety of filters in the lower right corner. Whether it is retro nostalgia or fresh literary style, you can find the taste of the corresponding filter. In order to adapt to the one-handed operation of the big screen, it is convenient and fast to switch between modes such as taking pictures, shooting, professional and SLR by sliding with one hand.

▲ Professional mode and camera settings

Functionally, 360 Qikuo mobile phone gives people a variety of ways to play, which is both professional and interesting. If you are a photographer, then the professional photo mode of 360 Qikuo mobile phone is very suitable for exerting your unlimited creativity. In professional mode, you can set the shutter time, focal length, saturation, contrast, metering mode and white balance in detail to shoot the starry sky and colorful streets at night. This mobile phone can fully satisfy your creative desire and shoot good works.

The SLR mode is a function that I think is very good. From the naming point of view, it was originally thought to be an extension of the professional model, but in fact it is a brand-new gameplay created by dual cameras. SLR mode can simulate the background blur effect caused by the large aperture of SLR camera, which is very effective for some scenes with obvious front-back distance. If I remember correctly, the dual cameras on HTC M8 have realized this background blur function, but the algorithm needs to be improved, and the blurred PS trace is serious. In contrast, 360 Qikuo mobile phone is more real. If the distance between the front and back of the scene is enough, the effect is absolutely beautiful.

▲ SLR mode shooting comparison

Night mode is also a new experience mode brought by dual cameras. In this mode, the dual camera function will be turned on, which can not only improve the overall brightness of the picture, but also suppress noise. This is the role of MONO and IMX2 14 in the open state. The color lens IMX2 14 is responsible for color, and the black-and-white lens MONO is responsible for contour, detail and brightness. ISP synthesizes the image information they collect. After synthesis, almost no details are smeared or lost by naked eyes, achieving excellent night imaging effect. It's just that this way of image processing takes a long time, about 2 seconds, which is acceptable and requires some patience.

And friends who love selfies and beauty are also blessed. Qikuo mobile phone is equipped with FotoNation4.0 beauty algorithm, which has a level 5 beauty effect. Big eyes, face-lifting, whitening and peeling can all be set one by one, and the beauty effect can be displayed in real time without third-party retouching software, so as to ensure that the photographed portrait is radiant. I believe that Qikuo mobile phone will win the praise of friends for you whether you share it with friends or send it to Weibo for happiness.

Beauty function and function selection

It is worth mentioning that Apple CEO Cook is also very curious about the camera function of Qikuo mobile phone, especially the function of displaying age and title when taking selfies, which adds a lot of fun to taking selfies or taking photos. Just imagine, a gathering of friends for three or five days, when you take a group photo, showing the topics that everyone is interested in, will definitely arouse everyone's attention and curiosity, and the group photo smile inspired by it will also appear precious and natural.

There is another bright spot that friends who love selfies will definitely like. In the case of one-handed selfie, it is very laborious to touch the shutter button on the screen, and most of the shutter buttons are arranged below, so it is easy for the hand to shake or even slip when clicking, and it is very difficult to complete a clear selfie. The fingerprint snapshot function of 360 Qiku mobile phone solves this problem well. Fingerprint recognition is a shutter. When taking a selfie with your mobile phone held high, you can easily press your finger on the fingerprint identification module, and the focused photo will start immediately. The virtual focus problem caused by jitter no longer exists, and the whole process is fast and efficient. I think it's the best selfie experience for a big-screen mobile phone.

To sum up, the author thinks that the camera experience of 360 Qikuo mobile phone flagship edition is excellent in all directions, giving full play to the advantages of dual cameras. Using color+black and white dual lens can show better imaging quality, speed up focusing speed and accuracy, and at the same time, it also adds rich night scenes and SLR modes. Considering that 360 Qikuo mobile phone has just been listed, more games will be launched in the future. On June 13, the flagship version of 360 Qikuo mobile phone went on sale. Mobile Unicom dual 4G version 1999 yuan, full netcom version 2499 yuan. If you want to experience Zhou Jiaozhu's black technology, you must make an appointment to buy it.
