Is the camera phone in Nubia good?

At the moment when smartphones are slightly homogeneous, how to give full play to their own characteristics and highlights has become the core strategy for smartphone brands to rack their brains.

Nowadays, with the release of IMX787 CMOS lens and Nubian Z40 Pro customized jointly with Sony, Nubia has completely established the "first brand" of 35mm equivalent focal length human image.

When we mention 35mm lenses and human images, we subconsciously think of Nubia. Perhaps this is the story that Nubian flagship Z series wants to tell us in 2022.

Now it seems that this story is successful.

It is nothing new to jointly customize the lens with CMOS manufacturers, but Nubia is the first to customize the 35mm main lens.

Before deeply experiencing this 35mm lens, let's take a look at the rear three-camera combination of Nubian Z40 Pro. From top to bottom, there are 50 million pixels 1 16 super wide-angle lens, 14mm equivalent focal length, 64 million pixels IMX787 main camera, f/ 1.6 large aperture and 35mm equivalent focal length, which are 8 million respectively.

From a wide angle, the 35mm lens customized by Nubian Z40 Pro and Sony is slightly narrower than the traditional standard wide angle lens. Through the actual shooting comparison, I roughly estimated the fat. The 0.7 times super wide-angle vision of Nubian Z40 Pro is about the standard wide-angle vision of ordinary lens, which is about 1.4~ 1.5 times of telephoto lens when converted into 35mm lens.

If this calculation is continued, the 3.5x optical zoom under 125mm telephoto lens is about 5x optical zoom, and it is about 8x optical zoom based on 0.4x super wide angle. A maximum of 30 times digital zoom is equivalent to about 43 times of traditional zoom.

In actual shooting, because the 35mm lens fits the human visual angle, the narrower visual field makes the composition more pure and removes the complex background. Of course, if we change our thinking, because the angle of view of the 35mm lens is narrower, when we use this purely humanistic lens to shoot portraits, we are farther away from the subject than the traditional mobile phone in the same field of vision, which is more comfortable and less oppressive.

According to the actual experience, this main camera performs well in daytime scene shooting, which can be compared with the current top flagship, with strong resolution and excellent picture details. Normal camera mode supports free switching from 0.4 times super wide angle to 30 times telephoto.

Nubian Z40 Pro humanistic shooting mode is fixed focus mode, which is simply a standard 35mm fixed focus lens. The focal length can be preset when shooting, which is equivalent to presetting a focal length for a manual lens in a SLR camera.

Friends who are familiar with humanistic photography may know that in humanistic photography, there is a common shooting technique called pre-focusing. Simply put, you can estimate the distance of a main scene. When the girl you want to shoot passes by, you can shoot directly without focusing. This is the fastest shooting method in humanistic photography.

At the same time, the depth of field of 35mm human focal plane is not so shallow, so the range of front and back images is large, and pre-focusing is actually a very practical function.

According to practical experience, the function of pre-focusing needs to be familiar to better street shooting, and the focusing distance needs to be estimated more accurately through practice. When our focus distance matches the distant focus object, the focus object presented in Nubian Z40 Pro screen will become the reddest, or the far red or near red will fade.

Nubian Z40 Pro also supports lightning capture, and its adaptive shutter shadow tracking algorithm can achieve fast capture of moving objects, which better meets the daily needs of users for human body street shooting. Nubian Z40 Pro also supports adding various filters during shooting to realize what you see is what you get.

Judging from the proofs, the background blur of Nubian Z40 Pro humanistic street shooting mode is weaker than the AI algorithm optimization of portrait, emphasizing the relationship between subject and environment. In some scenes, the imaging principle of this 35mm lens is closer to the optical imaging of SLR cameras.

Nubian Z40 Pro's humanistic street shooting mode is indeed very suitable for photographers who love street shooting, making it a brand-new photography mode to replace SLR or micro-single, but there are still places to be improved. Of course, with the upgrade in the future, I believe Nubia will do better and better in humanistic street shooting.

Nubian Z40 Pro portrait mode is also very good, and the comprehensive background blur is stronger than the humanistic street shooting. If you take a portrait alone, it is recommended to choose portrait mode. If you want to take a street view or a snapshot, it is recommended to choose the humanistic street shooting mode.

In the night scene mode, Nubian Z40 Pro has satisfactory performance of the main camera, strong resolution, high purity, very good noise control, and the overall shooting picture is pleasing to the eye.

In the telephoto experience of 8 million periscope, Nubian Z40 Pro 3.5 times (conventional 5 times) basic optical zoom performance is excellent, and the daytime resolution is satisfactory. The anti-shake optimization is good under the maximum zoom of 30 times, and the jitter is not big when shooting, so it can shoot stably.

At the same time, this periscope telephoto also supports telephoto macro shooting. Compared with the macro shooting of mobile phones, Nubian Z40 Pro is much more comfortable for long-distance macro shooting. If the shooting distance is too close, the camera system will remind you of the distance. The quality of macro shooting is excellent, and the details are above average, which can be praised.

As one of the few brands with telephoto potential in 2022, the telephoto performance of Nubian Z40 Pro is obviously conscience enough.

Finally, talk about the super wide-angle lens. Because the viewing angle range of the 35mm main camera is narrower than that of the conventional mobile phone, the shooting range undertaken by this super wide-angle lens is much larger than that of the conventional mobile phone. In actual contrast, the maximum viewing angle range of 0.4 times is ridiculously larger than that of the 3.5mm main camera, and 50 million pixels can fully meet the daily shooting.

In addition, Nubia has also set up some photo or video modes, such as starry sky, orbit, time-lapse photography, moon, Lingbo micro-step, Hitchcock, deformation and so on, which are very interesting.

Because of the serious light pollution in the environment where Pangpang lives, Pangpang only experienced the special effects of starry sky and orbit, which is very interesting and presents first-class effects. No matter where you are, making movies is easy.

To sum up, none of the three lenses of Nubian Z40 Pro is useless. At the moment when all families are vigorously developing their imaging systems, they can have fun. The 35mm humanistic lens is very suitable for sweeping streets and taking portraits, and it can shoot large movies with a narrower perspective. The preset focal length mode makes the Nubian Z40 Pro more professional and more user-friendly.

At the moment when homogenization is so serious, it is hard to imagine that you will fall in love with a mobile phone because of its appearance, but you have to admit that Nubian Z40 Pro is such a mobile phone.

The back of Nubian Z40 Pro is treated with starlight AG technology, which makes it comfortable, not easy to get dust, and most importantly, not easy to get fingerprints. It is simply the "savior" of the oil hand party. Coupled with the four-curved design, it is extremely comfortable to hold with one hand. Because of the matte design, it is not easy to slip and fade, which is very suitable for small partners who like bare metal.

The right side of the rear camera module still adopts a very popular small window design, and the nubia English logo is matched with the left 3.5mm main camera rear three-camera module, which is highly recognizable. At the same time, the layering of the lens protrudes twice with the classic color matching of red and black, and the rear lens module looks better than the friends with the same small window design.

The front of Nubian Z40 Pro is equipped with a 6.67-inch circular screen with a resolution of 2400 1080 and a high refresh rate of 144Hz, which supports intelligent switching of the whole scene with a refresh rate of 60~ 144Hz.

Seeing this, I don't know if you have noticed that the Nubian Z40 Pro screen is a round screen, but the border is really flat, so the visual impression is that the border will be slightly wider, but this has also become the personality of the Nubian series.

It is worth mentioning that the Nubian Z40 Pro weighs only 199g, which is one of the few flagship models below 200g. Moreover, Nubia also stuffed a 5000 mAh battery under the light weight of 199g g.

In terms of actual battery life, Pangpang was heavily used from 100% for 4 hours (League of Legends Mobile Games 1 hour, Peace Elite 1 hour, Tik Tok for half an hour, Weibo for half an hour, JD.COM for half an hour, and WeChat for half an hour), the remaining battery life was about 40%, and the actual battery life was about 6-7 hours, with excellent battery life performance.

Under moderate and light use (occasional games, brushing Weibo and friends circle), Nubian Z40 Pro can fully meet the needs of a day's work (from going out in the morning to coming home from work, working for 8 hours), without charging in the middle, and without preparing a separate charging treasure for it when going out with friends on weekends.

As a continuation of the Fire Dragon, you must be familiar with the performance and fever of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. What is the performance and game performance of Nubian Z40 Pro? Can it resist the new generation of fire dragon chips?

First, let's take a look at Ann Bunny's running performance. Nubian Z40 Pro runs over 10 16666 under default initialization and four ambient temperatures. At the room temperature of about 25℃, the running score is slightly lower than that in the low temperature environment, but it can still exceed 654.38+0000.

In the actual game experience, Pangpang tested three games, namely, the glory of the king 90 frames/120 frames, Peace Elite 60 frames (90 frames are not yet adapted) and Genshin Impact 30 frames /60 frames.

The glory of the king.

With the ultra-high frame rate, ultra-high resolution and high-definition image quality of 90 frames in the glory of the king, the average frame rate of Nubian Z40 Pro game is stable at about 92 frames after 30 minutes, of which 96.7% is above 89 frames and 93.3% is above 90 frames, which is very stable. The data shows little Caton, but I can't feel it in the game.

With the extremely high frame rate of the glory of the king (120), high resolution and high definition, the average frame rate of Nubian Z40 Pro game after 30 minutes is 1 12.8 frames, of which 69. 1% exceeds 168.

In terms of temperature, under the framework of the glory of the king 120, the heating core area of Nubian Z40 Pro is about 43.7~44. 1, the lower left corner is 43.3~44. 1, and the center is 4 1.8~42.3.

Game For Peace

Nubian Z40 Pro has not adapted to the 90-frame peace elite. Under the restriction of Peace Elite and HDR HD quality of 60 frames, the average frame rate of Nubian Z40 Pro game stabilized at 59.7 frames after 30 minutes, of which 82% exceeded 59 frames and 44% exceeded 90 frames. Because of the abnormal stability, Pangpang didn't spend too long testing the frame rate stability.

In terms of temperature, Nubian Z40 Pro hardly generates heat under the 60-frame peace elite. The heating core area is about 4 1.9~42.4 in the upper left corner, 42.0~42.7 in the lower left corner, 40.3~40.8 in the center area, 39.5~40. 1 in the upper right corner and 39.4 ~ 4658 in the lower right corner.

Genshin Impact

Genshin Impact has 30 frames, and the picture quality is extremely high. After 30 minutes, the average frame rate of Nubian Z40 Pro game is 29.9 frames, of which more than 29 frames account for 93.7%, and more than 30 frames account for 49%. The game is generally stable, and there is a jam during the game, but Xiao Pang doesn't feel it.

In terms of temperature, the fever of Nubian Z40 Pro is still not obvious under 30 frames in Genshin Impact, and the front temperature is similar to that of "Peace Elite" under 60 frames, with 42. 1~42.9 in the upper left corner, 42. 1~42.8 in the lower left corner and 40.3~4 1.7 in the central area.

Genshin Impact has 60 frames, and the picture quality is extremely high. After 30 minutes, the average frame rate of Nubian Z40 Pro game is 42.5 frames, of which more than 40 frames account for 86%, and more than 45 frames account for 19%. The overall frame rate is still stable, and there will be some jams during the game, but it will not obviously affect the game experience.

In terms of temperature, the fever of Nubian Z40 Pro is similar to that of Genshin Impact the glory of the king (120) with 60 frames, and the overall temperature is 2~3 higher than that of 30 frames, but the fever is not particularly serious, unlike that of Youshang. From the frame rate point of view, Nubian Z40 Pro will reduce the frequency in the original 60 frames to ensure that the fever will not be too obvious. So the question is, which do you prefer, low temperature or high frame heat?

Generally speaking, Nubian Z40 Pro has no pressure on mainstream games, and its heat dissipation performance is above average, so it won't be too hot. The game as a whole is stable and smooth. Although the border of the glory of the king 120 is not full, its fluency and playability are all right. Genshin Impact occasionally gets stuck in frame 60, but it doesn't affect the game.

"No one will find your excellent inner qualities through your sloppy appearance." The exquisiteness of Nubian Z40 Pro is from the inside out, with exquisite, fashionable and highly recognizable design, unique image system and strong game power. Nubian Z40 Pro is a representative of the old flagship.

From the price point of view, the positioning of Nubian Z40 Pro is not the top flagship, but combined with crowd positioning and its own advantages, Nubian gives a satisfactory answer to the smartphone market in China in 2022.
