Can 4K night videos be captured with mobile phones? This Android phone did just that

In this era, the evolution of moving images is far beyond imagination, and mobile phones were difficult to face 1080P video in the past, but today it has become very easy to deal with 4K and 8K videos. And mobile phone shooting is still in continuous progress, in addition to the pursuit of high image quality, the continuous innovation of image technology is also a major advantage, such as more stable image stabilization, smoother zoom, more accurate focus, richer shooting gameplay, etc., to fully meet the shooting needs of creators.

Based on these changes, the mobile phone circle has also emerged a lot of excellent models, of which the model that is recognized as having excellent video capabilities is the iPhone 13 series, but The Android side is not without a flagship that is comparable, such as the OPPO Find X5 Pro just released.

01Android's best video flagship is coming?

At the same time, OPPO Find X5 Pro is also constantly breaking through the upper limit of Android video shooting capabilities, the machine for the first time using a self-developed image dedicated NPU chip - Mariana MariSiliconX, while equipped with the mobile phone industry's first dual OIS stabilization program, in the 4K video shooting to achieve a leapfrog improvement.

Even the big director Jiang Wen also tried to shoot the sunrise scene with the OPPO Find X5 Pro, and said: "Bright enough, dark enough, it can help you to color process beautiful and bright, more than one chip is really powerful." It can be seen that Jiang Wen is still very recognized for OPPO Find X5 Pro, which verifies that Mariana MariSiliconX does have an immediate effect.

02 OPPO Find X5 Pro Night Scene 4K Video Measurement, Compared to Apple Is Not Inferior

In fact, this is not a casual remark. The OPPO Find X5 Pro, which is equipped with Mariana MariSiliconX, does show different video capabilities in actual tests, such as HDR effects and night video performance, even if compared to the iPhone 13 Pro Max.

In the actual experience, we can clearly feel that the OPPO Find X5 Pro has brought about an improvement in effect. In the same urban scene, the OPPO Find X5 Pro's 4K video footage is brighter, with sharper rendering of shadow details, excellent control of highlights, and the purity of the picture is even more powerful than the iPhone 13 Pro Max.

When faced with scenes with complex light sources, the OPPO Find X5 Pro has a greater advantage. Looking at this set of videos, the video shot by the OPPO Find X5 Pro is also clean, basically no noise, and the color of the neon lights is also corrected. In the night video taken by the iPhone 13 Pro Max, there is a large area of ghosting, and the neon color is also deviated, and the shooting experience is much lower.

Looking at this set of video comparisons, the ambient light conditions of this test are average, except for the lights in front of them, the surrounding area is basically shrouded in darkness. However, for OPPO Find X5 Pro, iPhone13 Pro Max, the video imaging quality has not declined too much, the brightness of the two pictures is also close, the overall picture is also very clear, you can clearly see the texture on the wall and the local details of the shadow at the perigee point, but the ghost situation of the iPhone13 Pro Max still exists, in contrast, the actual night effect of OPPO Find X5 Pro is better.

From the actual experience, OPPO Find X5 Pro can not only shoot 4K video smoothly, but also perform pixel-level AI noise reduction processing on each frame, ensuring picture quality while eliminating various noises, and the night video effect is very outstanding, which makes it one of the few models in the Android camp that can challenge the status of the iPhone 13 series video.

03 With one more chip, why is the video capability improved?

So the question is, why a little Mariana MarilicconX can bring about such a big change, I'm sure this is a lot of people's doubts.

For example, in daily life, everyone must have had such an experience: their mobile phones take static night scene photos very well, but the picture quality when shooting night scene videos is very bad, the picture is overly sharpened, the noise will be very much, and it looks very unsatisfactory.

A certain model shoots 4K night video with a lot of noise

Generally speaking, these problems are more or caused by underexposure, for mobile phone manufacturers, the most direct solution is to continue to improve the quality of hardware such as sensors and cameras, but this will also cause mobile phones to be "as big as bricks", and computational photography is another way to efficiently improve image performance.

The strength of computational photography is directly related to the mobile phone processor. Since the beginning of this year, Android flagship mobile phones have generally adopted Snapdragon 8 chip, this chip in the image breakthrough is still more significant, the new upgrade of 18bit ISP, can process 3.2 billion pixels per second, dynamic range image data capture than the previous generation more than 4,000 times, more delicate color, dynamic range capture capabilities have also improved.

Snapdragon 8 supports 18bit ISPs

It seems that the Snapdragon 8 is already very powerful, but for 4K night shooting, it is also necessary to take into account real-time computing power and actual power consumption. Processing a night photo requires multi-frame synthesis, but the amount of data required to be processed is still relatively limited compared to the video, in comparison, the real-time algorithm processing of 4K/30fps video is very large.

Moreover, when the general platform performs computing images, it is limited by the computing power problem and cannot cope with the amount of RAW domain information, which makes the raw image data saved by the RAW domain lose a lot in the conversion, and it is difficult to present high-quality images. One of the powerful functions of Mariana MariSilicon X lies in this, it prepends the traditional data processing on the back end to the RAW domain, so that more image information is preserved and loss is reduced.

20bit real-time RAW calculations

At the same time, Mariana MariSilicon X integrates the self-developed Mari NeuroAI computing unit, which can provide up to 18TOPS maximum effective computing power, and also has the industry-leading energy efficiency performance of 11.6TOPS/W, when applied oppo's self-developed 3A algorithm, the calculation speed is faster and the power consumption is lower.

Based on such a powerful computing power, OPPO Find X5 Pro has up to 20bit of ultra-high dynamic range processing capabilities, smoother when shooting 4K video, and supports AI, and its video specifications have reached the level of "4K+20bit RAW+AI+Ultra HDR", which is unprecedented in the industry. It can be said that the OPPO Find X5 Pro, which is equipped with Mariana MariSilicon X, not only improves the user experience when shooting videos, but also sets a new standard for computing images, which is expected to have such a performance.

Finally, there is something to say:

It has to be said that Mariana MariSilicon X is another major innovation of OPPO in mobile phone imaging, and also allows OPPO Find X5 Pro to have the ability to shoot 4K AI videos for the first time, which allows us to see the great progress of Android mobile phones in video shooting over the years, and truly break the inherent impression of Apple that Android mobile phones can't shoot videos.

Most importantly, more and more users can enjoy the convenience brought by this scientific and technological achievements, and now shooting high-quality 4K videos is no longer limited to professional equipment, ordinary users can also shoot video works above the standard through OPPO Find X5 Pro, and even higher quality blockbusters. In short, through excellent hardware and software tuning, OPPO Find X5 Pro has captured the real needs of users in video creation, and truly become one of the best Android flagships in video performance nowadays.
