Nowadays, mobile phones have become a part of everyone's daily life, so the level of its battery life will have a direct impact on the user's mood. This has also prompted mobile phone manufacturers to continue to innovate in battery capacity and fast charging conditions in the past two years, and now many mobile phones have 5000 mAh and fast charging conditions above 65W, which greatly alleviates the problem of battery life anxiety. At the same time, the high brush screen has also advanced to the LTPO 2.0 era, which also helps a lot in the endurance of the whole aircraft.
In the case that everyone's battery life configuration is similar and the system experience is not much different, the only place where mobile phone manufacturers can create an exclusive product experience should be the mobile phone image performance, which is also a place that can test the manufacturer's innovation level and algorithm tuning level. Especially in the case that everyone's sensors are difficult to open up too big a gap, such as huawei's use of computational optics technology, glory of multi-main camera fusion technology and other computational photography functions, with stronger computing power to optimize later, better restore the information loss caused by the optical signal transmission process, so that the effect of the film will be better.

Of course, computational photography is very dependent on the computing power of THE CPU and GPU, and the strong hardware reserve is also very important. Compared with Huawei, Glory is biased towards the improvement of algorithms, and now some manufacturers have chosen to obtain higher AI image computing power through self-developed image chips, breaking through the limitations of their own processor ISPs, and facing dark light scenes, extreme night scenes and other shooting scenes can have better image computing power and chip power consumption, like the self-developed chip Mariana X first launched by OPPO Find X5 Pro is a good example. OPPO's self-developed NPU uses TSMC's advanced 6nm technology, and its 18TOPS computing power is more prominent than the 15TOPS computing power of Apple's A15 NPU unit.

After having the support of hardware computing power, OPPO also effectively solves the synergy problem between sensors, chips and algorithms through self-developed 3A underlying algorithms, and better plays the advantages of Mariana X. With the joint blessing of hardware and algorithms, OPPO Find X5 Pro can achieve the extreme shooting specifications of 4K+20bit RAW+AI+Ultra HDR, and has seven breakthrough effects such as chip-level 4K polar night video and chip-level App camera enhancement, which is enough to solve consumers' daily shooting pain points.
It is worth mentioning that OPPO Find X5 Pro not only effectively improves the strength of computational photography, but also improves the camera shooting level of the whole camera in multiple dimensions. For example, through the industry's first hardware-level OIS solution - five-axis suspension stabilization, the amount of light entering the night scene photo has been greatly improved, and the video stabilization performance has also been effectively improved, and the ICE2.0 dynamic capture engine can achieve high-definition instant capture effect. OPPO, on the other hand, | The Hasselblad mobile phone imaging system brings the classic Hasselblad XPAN mode to the mobile phone, shooting a classic 65:24 wide format, and can also enhance the sense of atmosphere of the film in black and white and color film styles, which really creates an exclusive mobile phone shooting experience.
I have to say that the upgrade of the mobile phone imaging system has evolved over the years, and each change is enough to bring a new shooting experience. Starting from 2021, mobile phone manufacturers will gradually shift the focus of upgrades from the hardware to the software level, no longer focusing on simply improving pixels, but choosing screen tuning to open up the full link of mobile phone images. Therefore, in today's 2022, I believe we will also see more manufacturers in upgrading mobile phone images, will be more based on optimization as the basis for upgrading, the pursuit of "shoot with your hands is straight out of the blockbuster" effect, it is worth looking forward to!
