Why does the iPhone look better than other phones?

Users ask: The image industry does not require many years of accumulation in order to have excellent performance? Where does the image base of the iPhone come from, and why Sony has the basis for Konica Minolta to be able to do it on mobile phone imaging instead of Apple? Why Apple does not have any image base (fear is not actually described) In the case of creating an iPhone that is better than other phones with a photo effect?

In fact, the mainstream handset manufacturer's camera supplier is so few. Sony is one of the main camera suppliers for the IPhone. (Another is omnivision, he also supplies Samsung)

But there is no denying the fact that recent generations of iphones have been photographed in real-time, surpassing Sony and Samsung's handsets over the same period. Similar to even the same camera, the results are poor for the following reasons:

1 Low-pixel

The market has a very brain remnants of the understanding that the higher the pixel, the better the effect of photography. And the fact is, at least iPhone5 period, 12 million, cannot surpass 8 million.

But the Japanese and Korean manufacturers such as Sony and Samsung have no courage to say no to users. You want high pixels? I'll give it to you.

And Apple dares: Apple always favors low pixels on the camera's choice. Remember when Steve Jobs calculated the keynote of a single pixel size at the iPhone4? He just wanted to tell users that high pixels don't necessarily have a good effect.

Unfortunately, as strong as Steve Jobs, there is no reversal of market understanding. A consumer who knows only primary school arithmetic, or is keen to compare pixels. Today, the brain is still deeply rooted in understanding. Fortunately, the IPhone's excellent single pixel quality provides more protection for a good photo, and his photo effect is slowly being recognized by the user. (But there is no denying that some people who take photos may buy Sony because they have fewer pixels.) )

2 software optimization

Different manufacturers to get the camera, will be through the software to adjust various functions and the effect of the film. This is a skill to see.

Apple has done many years of image processing software on MAC, and this level is enough. (white balance, sharpness, noise ...) )

The system that he controls should also make it easier for him to optimize the various functions of the camera. (shutter delay, focus speed ...) )

Android manufacturers are generally buying third-party software algorithms and functions to integrate themselves. Various adjustments on the feel without IOS meticulous intentions.

(thoroughly understand a camera's characteristics will take time, they do not allow the frequency of the machine)

3 Screen Mates

Apple's software adjustment is excellent, for example, he adjusted the first-class white balance, the screen does not give the force is useless.

The IPhone is powered by the industry's highest-level screens. Apple is never going to confuse users with the "future" technology of biased color. Because all the work on the camera, the software must be displayed through the screen.

4 Last Words

So, Apple is really a conscience business.

He will not take advantage of consumers in the number of pixels above the ignorance, nor in the consumer can not see the algorithm adjustment lazy, and will not let consumers pay for semi-finished screen technology.

All his efforts, pointing to a simple result, his mobile phone users to the family press the shutter, can leave a good memory. Even at the expense of marketing advantages.

So Apple can win my respect, because as a person in the industry, I know how hard it is to resist the temptation of sales to do this kind of thing for users.

The world's first home digital camera is Apple QuickTake, designed by Apple, Kodak Foundry, the master returned to cut off the product. But Apple has not completely abandoned the image technology, from the hardware point of view, it can be said that Mac isight is the legacy of QuickTake, from the software, there are professional-level aperture and consumption-level iphoto,imovie.

The camera on today's iphone and mobile devices can be said to be an extension of quicktake,isight on mobile devices, so how could it be that Apple has no image base?

Apple has such a deep image base and always attaches great importance to the perfect product user experience, so the iphone is far better than other mobile phones.

Attach a photo of the master taken in 1996 using Apple QuickTake.

Say a few facts:

The IPhone original/3g can not be compared to the then-booming Nokia nseries, or SE's cybershot. 3GS can only be regarded as so-so.

The IPhone 4 uses the same CMOS as the Atrix 4G, one is the best 500w phone, one is almost the worst (if not considered for the bottom of the WebOS model and Galaxy Nexus.)

IPhone 4S launched more than half a year ago, SE Arc/arc S/ray and so on has used its photosensitive components, but because of Android 2.3 when the hardware optimization is insufficient (?) or Sony's own development ability is not enough, 2.3 when the photo compression is very serious, completely did not play a superior I think the SE users should know all about it.

The iphone 5 's camera hardware is basically the same as the 4S, but A6 's ISP has made the iphone 5 even a step in the sun. (Did someone compare the ipad (3rd generation) and the ipad (4th generation)?)

Any photo taken by the camera looks like a piece on the Galaxy Nexus.

Finally, Apple QuickTake was one of the first consumer-grade digital cameras.

Summarize:

In addition to photosensitive components, lenses, ISP design, software optimization and so on, all affect the effect of the photo.

The screen plays a big role in the user's first impressions.

iphone 4 after the iphone photographed more than most of the same era of mobile phones, intentions, very important.

1, the iphone early very rotten camera, to the iphone4 catch the mainstream level, to the iphone4s, just into the first-class level.

2, the camera imaging effect depends on CMOS, lens, ISP and software algorithms, Apple in software investment in human and material capital is very large.

This determines that without mastering the CMOS, Lens, ISP technology, buy other people's components still have a first-class effect

3, pixel determinism and pixel useless theory, are idiots.

The same total area, large unit area does not mean that the picture quality must be good, the camera this CMOS total area. High pixel density means high sharpness and excellent light. Low pixel density means receiving more light and having the advantage of weak light.

Select the number of pixels, or low, large or small unit size, to see the user's use of the environment. Nokia 808 found a good way to use 38 million pixels of light, the light is weak to combine 38 million into 5 million, a single area increases. Excellent results in a variety of environments.

4. At present, the first mobile phone is the Nokia 808, because the lens quality and CMOS area has an absolute advantage. In daytime light, 13 million of high-quality mobile phones, has exceeded the iphone5 of 8 million. Dark and night scenes, the Nokia 920 and HTC One with long exposure optical stabilization also surpassed the iphone5 8 million.

Iphone5 also iphone4s the gap can be ignored, in the iphone4s era, it can be said that the Apple camera is the first-class mobile phone, but to the iphone5, can only be said to be excellent.

Professional mobile phone site GSMArena have each cell phone in the photography studio contrast shooting Chart, we are interested can go to see, compare each other, can also be compared with the invincible rabbit directly to see the difference in sharpness, color of different mobile phones. Domestic machine, they have evaluated the glory, Meizu mx, MX2, Oppo Find5, foreign brands have all been evaluated.

French authoritative professional camera equipment evaluation site Dxomark has a variety of mobile phone ratings, and evaluation, conclusion and GSMArena consistent

808 Highest, Samsung S4 second, iphone5, iphone4s, 9300, Note2 almost, but the French did not evaluate the domestic machine.
