The fundamental difference between iOS and Android is the moment when the shutter is pressed.

Friends who have both iPhone and Android, or friends who like mobile photography, will basically find this problem:

The scene in the viewfinder of the iPhone camera is exactly the same as the photo taken by pressing the shutter, that is, "what you see is what you get". What did you look like before you took it and what did you look like after you took it!

The scenery in the viewfinder of an Android camera is completely different from the photos taken by pressing the shutter, which means that the photos you see in the viewfinder are largely from the photos displayed on your mobile phone after shooting. Of course, this source is that most of the photos taken are better. To put it more bluntly, I felt bad before shooting with my Android phone, but everything felt better after shooting.

What is the reason?

Let's talk about this camera APP first. Although it comes with the mobile phone, its properties determine that it is a software product completely linked with hardware, which means that its performance depends entirely on the image hardware of the mobile phone.

This APP has a strong ability to occupy resources. If you don't believe me, let me give you an example. Look at your mobile phone background management is very strong, but basically turn on the camera to take two photos or record a video, and most of your other applications will be restarted or killed. The memory occupied is consumed by the camera.

So when you take out your mobile phone to see a beautiful scenery and turn on the camera to take pictures, your mobile phone is under great pressure, and the processor resources and power resources will be quickly transferred to the camera module. If the processor is a fire dragon, or the mobile phone software is not optimized in place, it will cause the fuselage to heat up quickly.

But on Apple's mobile phone, the strongest A-series processor and the smoothest iOS system form a perfect ecology, which can support the camera's powerful computing power consumption. Before you shoot, the system has displayed the calculated image in the viewfinder, and the finished photo is exactly the same, which will give the user a smooth and flawless feeling. Many people will also feel that this state is more textured and more dependent on iOS!

The "what you see is what you get" on the Android side is more of a compromise, and I think these two reasons are roughly the same.

First of all, you can look at the viewfinder of a professional SLR. The image in that viewfinder is rubbish, but after pressing the shutter, you will find that the photo is super beautiful. As the predecessor of mobile phone imaging system, everyone will naturally learn this practice imperceptibly.

Second, the ecology is limited. If the final image is displayed in the view frame, it will cause a waste of computing power. If the display effect of the viewfinder is the same as that of the film, it doesn't matter whether the phone is hot or not. But in case the picture in the frame is better than the film, it is really not worth the candle. Moreover, the camera system will be automatically optimized after shooting, and ugly photos can also be made into beautiful ones.

Use limited energy to the most critical point, in fact, the philosophy in life is also like this. Obviously, Android manufacturers have studied this point thoroughly.

Of course, there are many brands of Android, so we can't generalize. As a mobile phone enthusiast, the overall shooting experience of iPhone is the best among countless mobile phones I have experienced, but I didn't shoot it. There are Samsung in Android, which can almost achieve the unity of shooting and imaging, and the photos taken are also the best. Huawei, which has the strongest image at present, naturally has nothing to say about the quality of the film. If you shoot well, it can basically be regarded as a work of art, but the experience in the imaging process is not good, which is a bit of a blow to the photographer's self-confidence.

Finally, I want to ask you here, did you pay attention to the image in the frame when you took pictures? Or just pursue the results after shooting?
