20 17 "China takes good photos of mobile phones": the experience of taking photos.

IT 168 Evaluation This article is a photo experience article of "20 17 China shoots a good mobile phone", which is mainly tested by four items: camera opening speed, camera shutter speed, viewfinder fluency and focusing speed. Mobile phone photography not only needs good image quality, but also photography experience is very important. If the camera reacts slowly, the mood of taking pictures will soon be gone, so taking pictures on mobile phones is as important as image quality. Let's take a look at HTC U 1 1+, OPPO R 1 1s, vivi X20, Huawei Mate 10 Pro, Gionee M7, Meizu PRO 7 Plus, Nubian Z 17S, and Glory V/Kloc.

▲20 17 "China takes good photos of mobile phones": photo experience.

Camera opening speed

The camera opening speed test is mainly to detect the speed from opening the camera APP to displaying the camera interface. To be fair, every tested mobile phone must be restarted. After restarting the system, only open the camera APP and do not run other apps to ensure the cleanliness of the mobile phone background and ensure the best performance.

Through the test, we can see that 10 mobile phones have a good performance. Among them, we can see that Huawei Mate 10 Pro, Nubian Z 17S and vivo X20 are faster, Meizu PRO 7 Plus and Gionee M7 cameras are faster to open, but the viewfinder has a transition process from blurred to clear after the camera is opened, which affects the use experience to some extent. The opening speed of the camera is mainly related to the performance scheduling of the mobile phone. If the camera of the mobile phone is left in the background and ready, the camera will open faster, but it also brings the problem of power consumption. To realize the experience of taking photos immediately after picking up the mobile phone, it is still necessary to optimize the system of the mobile phone.

Shutter speed

Shutter speed test is mainly to test the time after pressing the shutter and returning the shutter button to take pictures. During the test, turn off HDR, flash and other camera auxiliary functions, and use the most common camera mode to see which phone is faster.

Through the test video, we can see that HTC U 1 1+ is very fast. After pressing the shutter, the photographing process is quickly completed, and the shutter button can be returned to the user at the first time without any waiting. Secondly, Huawei Mate 10 Pro, OPPO R 1 1s and Nubian Z 17S all performed well, but there is still a little delay compared with HTC U 1 1+. Of course, this delay does not affect the experience. Two slow mobile phones using MediaTek processors, Charm Blue PRO 7 Plus and Gionee M7, will have obvious black screen process after pressing the shutter, which may be related to CPU performance and ISP processing speed.

Finder fluency

The viewfinder process tests that we turn on the camera function of the mobile phone, and then place a ferris wheel swinging back and forth behind the mobile phone, and record the picture of the mobile phone with the camera to see if there is any serious smear.

Regarding viewfinder delay, we can see from the test that 10 mobile phone has no viewfinder delay problem. The author also did the same test on the flagship mobile phone at that time a year ago. At that time, some flagship phones also had the problem of viewfinder delay, but now this problem has been solved. There are still some differences in viewfinder fluency between different mobile phones. Among them, OPPO R 1 1s, vivo X20 and Huawei Mate 10 Pro have the best performance, with less viewfinder smear and high fluency. What needs to be improved is Xiaomi MIX2 and Meizu PRO 7 Plus, which can be seen that the picture has obvious smear. This may be related to the viewfinder refresh frequency. Of course, high refresh frequency requires higher performance of mobile phones and cameras.

Focusing speed

The focus speed test uses two objects, far and near, to focus. A card was used in the close shot. When the card in the close shot is quickly removed, the phone will immediately focus on the distant view. We just test the focusing speed from close range to distant view.

It can be seen that the focusing speed of HTC U 1 1+ is far ahead. When the card is opened, HTC U 1 1+ completes the long-distance focusing immediately, while vivo X20, Nubian Z 17S and Huawei Mate 10 Pro have fast focusing speed, but they are similar to HTC U65438+. The focus speed to be improved is Glory V 10, and you can see the phenomenon of bellows pulling. When we shoot the night scene, the phenomenon of glory V 10 bellows pulling is obvious, which has a bad influence on the photography experience. The camera systems of Glory V 10 and Huawei Mate 10 Pro are basically in the same strain, but the focus of Glory V 10 is slow, which may be the biggest gap between the two mobile phones. In addition, the focus of Meizu PRO 7 Plus can see an obvious focusing process, which is slower than other mobile phones. Gionee M7 has the same bellows phenomenon as Glory V 10 when focusing.

Summary:

Products of the first echelon:

Huawei Mate 10 Pro, HTC U 1 1+

Products to be improved:

Meizu PRO 7 Plus, Gionee M7, Glory V 10

Based on the four test items, Huawei Mate 10 Pro and HTC U 1 1+ have the best photo experience. These phones not only have a smooth viewing experience, but also bring faster focusing speed. For some scenes where you pick up your phone and shoot at will, these phones can be very satisfying. Of course, some mobile phones need to be improved. Meizu PRO 7 Plus and Gionee M7 may use MediaTek's processor, and the speed between pressing the shutter and imaging is different from other mobile phones. Glory V 10 needs to be improved in focusing speed, and it really shouldn't be a flagship mobile phone taking pictures with bellows.

Mobile phone manufacturers often pay attention to the camera quality of mobile phones, but ignore the camera experience of mobile phones. For users, the viewfinder of a mobile phone may not look good when used, because all mobile phones are like this, just add a photo button to a frame. But these things that are ignored by manufacturers and users have a great impact on the experience. People like to take photos with iPhone, mostly because iPhone provides a good photo experience. Thanks to the efforts of the Android mobile phone formation, HTC U 1 1+ and Huawei Mate 10 Pro have also achieved a photo experience close to the iPhone.
