As we all know, the competition between Android and iOS in mobile phone photography is becoming more and more fierce, especially in recent years, the mobile phone has a hardware bottleneck due to the problem of volume limitations, and it can only be gradually transferred to the method of improving the photography ability of mobile phones through the way of "Wei Wei to save Zhao", and the iPhone13 Pro Max is undoubtedly the currently recognized industry benchmark with strong computing power and the strength of image stabilization and shooting. As for the Android field, oppo Find X5 Pro equipped with the NPU Mariana X for self-developed imaging is also a rookie in the field of computational photography, plus five-fold suspension stabilization, and the imaging ability has also been recognized by the industry media and consumers.

So iPhone13 Pro Max compared to the domestic flagship OPPO Find X5 Pro, whose image performance is better, can meet the needs of most consumers? Let's take a hand-to-hand sample comparison test to see who is the best choice.
Before comparing, let's take a look at the hardware differences between the two products. Both models are equipped with three cameras at the rear, including the OPPO Find X5 Pro main camera and the ultra-wide angle lens, both equipped with a 50-megapixel Sony IMX766 sensor, in addition to a 13-megapixel telephoto lens with a built-in Mariana X self-developed image chip. The iPhone 13 Pro Max is equipped with three 12-megapixel lenses, namely the main camera, ultra-wide angle and telephoto lens. From the perspective of hardware configuration alone, the find X5 Pro's performance is better, but the actual performance still depends on the sample.
In low-light, low-light environments, exposure and white balance are well-controlled, but their imaging emphases are different. Personally feel that the iPhone 13 Pro Max has a stronger chiaroscuro contrast, lower color brightness, and cooler tones; and OPPO Find X5 Pro thanks to the blessing of Hasselblad color, in addition to ensuring the truth, the color is richer, especially under the blessing of hdR algorithm, bright color can still maintain a high degree of precision, and the picture does not have an obvious sense of smearing. As for the details, zooming in on the wallpaper on the side of the wall shows that OPPO captures more detail, while Apple's sharpening is too strong.
Ultra-wide-angle shooting is still relatively common in everyday scene applications, and the quality of the imaging effect depends on the ability of the mobile phone lens to control distortion and the degree of reproduction in terms of detail. In the following set of samples, it can be seen that under their respective ultra-wide-angle lenses, the edges are not distorted, and the whole picture is real and natural, with the Apple picture being brighter and oppo's display effect more focused on the restoration of the real environment.
However, if you zoom out the details, due to the reason of the 12 million lens module, the gap between the iPhone 13 Pro Max and the OPPO Find X5 Pro in terms of clarity is still very obvious, although it is brighter, but the details of the motorcycle after enlargement have a more obvious sense of smearing, and the glare problem at the door number in the highlight is also unclear, and the text is not clear. In contrast, the Find X5 Pro, thanks to the blessing of the Mariana X, the signal-to-noise ratio is greatly improved, the shadow detail is richer, and the highlight suppression is also excellent.
As for video shooting, the iPhone 13 Pro Max, as a strong person in this field, has a better fluency in the low-light shooting environment, and the whole shooting process does not appear to be frustrated, which can ensure brightness and clarity, but the biggest problem is ghosting and glare problems, and the highlight suppression is not strong enough. The OPPO Find X5 Pro has good noise suppression and color performance, can restore various colors on the neon flashing light sign, more pleasing to the eye, and the video quality is also very high, the picture brightness and color reproduction ability are just right, especially with suspension image stabilization, handheld shooting can also be stable and clear.
Through the above comparison, it can be seen that oppo Find X5 Pro is not worse than the iPhone 13 Pro Max in the actual shooting experience, especially in night shooting, thanks to Mariana X, and OPPO's 3A self-developed algorithm, suspension stabilization and other advantages, the comprehensive shooting strength is quite outstanding. It can be seen that if you want to shoot a good night scene, you must not only have strong hardware, system algorithms and software optimization can not be ignored, and Find X5 Pro is undoubtedly an image master in the domestic Android flagship, which is more suitable for friends who like to take pictures and videos.
