For mainstream mobile phone brands, the 3,000 yuan model is in a high-end positioning level, in terms of imaging capabilities, there is still a gap compared to its own brand flagship machine, but it is also much stronger than some models in the early 2000 yuan, if you have a limited budget, this gear model is indeed more suitable for choice.
At present, in this price segment, vivo S12 Pro, Honor 60 Pro and Xiaomi 12X are relatively popular three mobile phones, the image strength is more prominent, but also become the focus of many users' concern.
From the rear camera point of view, the three mobile phones have adopted a conventional three-camera layout, mainly based on high-pixel main camera, with one or more auxiliary lenses of other focal lengths, to achieve coverage of most of the daily shooting scenes, which can well meet the user's various shooting needs.
Specifically, vivo S12 Pro uses a 100 million pixel ultra-clear main camera + 8 million pixel wide-angle lens + 2 million pixel macro lens. Obviously, the main camera is the core of vivo S12 Pro's image power, equipped with a Samsung HM2 outsole sensor with a sensitivity size of 1/1.52 inch, which has the advantage of up to 100 million pixels resolution, ensuring that after the photo is magnified multiple times, it can also retain enough clear picture quality details, leaving more space for the secondary composition. At the same time, the lens supports nine-in-one pixels, which can bring a purer picture in low light and other environments, and the night performance is also a major highlight.
Vivo S12 Pro rear camera parameters
The Honor 60 Pro is paired with a 100-megapixel HD main camera, a 50-megapixel 122° ultra-wide-angle macro lens, and a 2-megapixel depth-of-field lens. From the parameter point of view, the Honor 60 Pro ultra-wide angle quality is good, and its specifications can even be comparable to some mainstream flagships.
Honor 60 Pro rear camera parameters
The Xiaomi Mi 12X also adopts a rear triple camera strategy of main camera + telephoto macro + 123 ° ultra-wide angle, which is a 50-megapixel main camera, the sensor is Sony IMX766, and supports OIS optical image stabilization, and the other two lenses are 5-megapixel macro and 13-megapixel wide-angle lenses, respectively.
Xiaomi Mi 12X rear camera parameters
Overall, the main camera of vivo S12 Pro and Honor 60 Pro is 108 million pixels, the difference is not large, and the main camera of Xiaomi Mi 12X is 50 million pixels. The Honor 60 Pro's ultra-wide angle has a great advantage, 50 million pixels is stronger than vivo and xiaomi, which can bring higher quality imaging quality. Of course, we say that a mobile phone is good or not, first of all, to jump out of the "pixel theory high and low" strange circle, the number of pixels is only a measure of the level of mobile phone photography, its photo performance depends on the sensor, processor, lens, aperture, focus and other multi-faceted factors, the actual effect is the key.
That's why we're still based on the sample. During this period, the author tested the samples of the main camera, ultra-wide angle and telephoto of three mobile phones in different scenes, and let's take a look at their respective photo performances:
Comparison of main camera samples
First, in the first set of samples, this set of photos was taken in well-lit conditions. It is undeniable that the performance of the three mobile phones in terms of picture quality and perception is evenly matched, and the look and feel is still good.
The photos of vivo S12 Pro and Xiaomi Mi 12X will be more intense in color, using a similar, eye-pleasing "high saturation" strategy, but not too colorful, will not appear very contrary.
Honor 60 Pro is still a familiar "oligowind", not based on excessive saturation, and the color performance is more suitable for the human eye. In terms of picture quality, there is no big difference between the three mobile phones at a cursory point of view, but looking closely at the architectural details, vivo S12 Pro and Honor 60 Pro are still more delicate.
Ultra-wide-angle sample contrast
In terms of ultra-wide angle, the overall look and feel of the three mobile phones is still very different, vivo S12 Pro's treatment of brightness is obviously better, honor 60 Pro's ultra-wide-angle sample is undoubtedly the most outstanding in terms of picture quality, high-quality well highlights the sense of tree wood, the detail texture is also well displayed, and the control of distortion is also ideal, worthy of the main camera level ultra-wide angle. Xiaomi Mi 12X exposure is more serious, the picture is white, the overall look and feel is much worse.
2X telephoto sample comparison
5X telephoto sample comparison
In terms of telephoto, the Xiaomi Mi 12X is equipped with the only independent telephoto lens among the three phones, but it does not bring outstanding advantages. After all, this telephoto lens has only 5 million pixels, and the picture quality is average.
The telephoto of vivo S12 Pro and Honor 60 Pro are all high-pixel cut, which can also meet the needs of telephoto shooting to a certain extent. From the sample point of view, the three mobile phones can take a good look and feel in the 2X focal length in the case of sufficient light, but the higher the multiple, the more blurry, and at 5X and above, it will appear weaker.
The above several sets of samples are taken in the case of good light conditions, compared to the daytime, the night on the image requirements are indeed more demanding, night scene not only test the quality of camera hardware, but also test the mobile phone algorithm, if the optimization is not in place, it is easy to appear noise out of control, excessive smearing, color distortion, light overflow, detail loss and other situations, then how the three mobile phones perform, let's take a look at the results of night shooting:
Sample of the night scene
Judging from the comparison of night scenes, the three main photos of the night scene have reached above the passing line, the night shot picture is relatively clean and transparent, and there is no noise in the shadows.
Xiaomi Mi 12X shot the picture is relatively bright, the picture is warm, but the shadow details are slightly poorer, for the building behind the rockery can only be vaguely captured, not real, in comparison, vivo S12 Pro and Glory 60 Pro to do a detailed restoration, you can clearly see the outline of the building in the night, the night algorithm is more reasonable, better show everything you see in front of you.
In addition, the Honor 60 Pro dynamic range is better, the layering of the photo, the night atmosphere is more sufficient, the sample can be said to be the best of the three.
Telephoto night view sample
In terms of 2X telephoto, the three can shoot good-looking samples even in low-light scenes. Through the above set of comparisons, we can see that the details of the rockery are still very clear, although the display of light and color is not completely consistent, but it is generally normal, so the actual effect is still good.
Unfortunately, the Xiaomi Mi 12X still did not "get" to the building in the distant night, only to see a vague black shadow, not as clear as the other two mobile phones. It is not difficult to understand that this generation of Xiaomi 12X focuses more on night scene imaging speed, so there is less time left for night scene calculation, which is bound to have some impact on night scene quality.
Finally, there is something to say:
From the sample view, we can draw a simple conclusion: in the case of sufficient light, vivo S12 Pro, Xiaomi 12X color is gorgeous, high saturation, the sample look is more pleasing, of which vivo S12 Pro also has a more delicate picture quality performance. The sample shot by the Honor 60 Pro main camera is more realistic in color rendering, and the ultra-wide angle is the strongest, not only the picture quality is high, but also the control of distortion is also good.
In terms of night scenes, the Xiaomi Mi 12X wins in terms of imaging speed, which is indeed very fast, almost no need to wait, you can immediately produce the film, but the capture of dark details is slightly insufficient. In contrast, the Honor 60 Pro thanks to the ideal exposure control, not only the sample smear less, but also a richer detail display, the actual look and feel is better, if you are more concerned about the night shot, obviously the Honor 60 Pro will be more competent.
Well, the above is the three mobile phones of the actual test of the photo, I hope this article can help you, what ideas do you have, you can leave a message for the author in the comment area below.
