Revealing why the iphone works better than other phones

in the knowledge of the user asked: The imaging industry is not required for many years to accumulate to have excellent performance? So where does the iphone's image base come from, and why does Sony have the basis of a Minolta that is not an apple in the image of a mobile phone? And that's why Apple can be without any image base (fear is not actually described) in the case of a that has a more excellent camera effect than other phones ?

The following is a user-informed answer:

In fact, there are only a few camera suppliers for mainstream handset makers. Sony itself is one of the iphone's main camera suppliers. (And another one is omnivision, he also supplies to Samsung while supplying Apple)

But it is undeniable that the actual use of the camera in the last few generations of the iphone is indeed beyond the same Sony and Samsung handsets. and similar to even have the same camera, the result is still poor for the following reasons:

1 Low pixel

Now there is a very brain-residual perception in the market, and many people think that the higher the pixel, the better the camera effect. But in fact? At least in the IPhone5 period, 12 million pixels may not actually surpass 8 million.

But the Japanese and Korean manufacturers such as Sony and Samsung do not have the courage to say no to users. You want high pixel?

Apple dares: Apple always prefers low pixels to the camera's choice. Remember when Mr. Jobs calculated a single pixel size keynote at the IPhone4 conference? He just wanted to tell users that high pixel does not necessarily have a good effect.

Unfortunately, the strength of jobs, in fact, did not reverse the market understanding. Consumers who only know the primary school count are keen to compare pixels. Today, the understanding of the brain remains deeply rooted. Fortunately, the IPhone's excellent single pixel quality provides more protection for an excellent photo, and his photo-taking effect is slowly accepted by the user. (but it's undeniable that some of the users who take photos may be buying Sony because they have fewer pixels.) )

2 software optimization

Different manufacturers to get the camera, the software will adjust the various functions and the effect of the film. It's a skill to see.

Apple has been doing image processing software for many years on MAC, which is enough. (white balance, sharpness, noise ...) )

And his own system should make it easier for him to optimize the various functions of the camera. (shutter delay, focus speed ...) )

Android manufacturers generally buy third party software algorithms and integrate themselves into the functionality. A variety of adjustments feel no iOS meticulous intentions.

(It takes time to thoroughly grasp the characteristics of a camera, they do not allow the frequency of the machine)

3 Screen Matching

Apple's software has been tweaked so well, for example, when he adjusts the top white balance, and the screen does nothing.

The IPhone has the highest level of screen in the industry. Apple will never confuse users with a "futuristic" technology that is biased in color. Because all the work done on the camera and the software must be displayed through the screen.

4 Last Words

So, Apple is really a conscience enterprise.

He will not use consumers in the number of pixels above the ignorance, and will not be in the consumer can not see the algorithm adjustment on the lazy, and will not let consumers for semi-finished screen technology to pay.

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

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

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

Now the iphone and the camera on the mobile device can be said to be quicktake,isight on the mobile device extension, how could it be said that Apple does not have any image base?

Apple has such a deep image base, and has always attached great importance to the product user experience, so the iphone's photography is much better than other mobile phones for granted.

Attached is 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 is so-so.

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

The IPhone 4S launched more than half a year ago, SE Arc/arc S/ray has used the photosensitive components it uses, but due to Android 2.3 hardware optimization is not enough (?) or Sony's own development capacity is insufficient, 2.3 photos compression is very serious, completely did not play an advantage. I think SE users should know.

The iphone 5 camera hardware is basically consistent with 4S, but A6 's ISP makes the iphone 5 work even in the sun. (Did someone compare the ipad (3rd generation) and the ipad (4th generation)?)

Any photograph taken by the camera on the Galaxy Nexus looks like a piece of Xiang.

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

Summary:

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

The screen has a great effect on the user's first impressions.

iphone 4 after the iphone photo more than most of the same age mobile phone, intentions, very important.

1, the iphone early on the camera is rotten, to the iphone4 catch the mainstream level, to the iphone, only to enter the first-class level.

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

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

3. Pixel determinism and pixel uselessness are all idiotic theories.

The same total area, large unit area does not mean that the quality must be good, the camera this CMOS total area. High pixel density means high sharpness, excellent light intensity. A low pixel density means that you receive more light and have an advantage under weak light.

Choose more pixels, or low, the unit area is large or small, to see the user's use of the environment. Nokia 808 found a good way, light intensity of 38 million pixels, light weak to merge 38 million into 5 million, a single area increased. Excellent results in different environments.

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

Iphone5 also iphone the gap can be ignored, in the iphone era, can say that Apple photo is the top of the mobile phone, but to iphone5, can only say that is excellent.

Professional mobile phone site GSMArena have each cell phone in the studio contrast shooting map, we are interested can go to see, contrast, can also and the Invincible Rabbit direct contrast, to see different mobile phones in sharpness, color gap. Domestic machines, they have evaluated the glory, the Phantom of the Family MX, MX2, Oppo Find5, the foreign brand has been basically evaluated.

French authoritative professional camera equipment evaluation website Dxomark has a variety of mobile phone scoring and evaluation, the conclusion and GSMArena consistent

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