Not long ago, Huawei representatives officially announced that the cooperation between Huawei and Leica has ended, and netizens have felt sorry.
Indeed, after all, Huawei's five years of interaction with the "predecessor" Leica, known as the immortal cooperation, has become an industry story. The P9 series, first developed in collaboration in 2016, was hailed as the initiator of the Leica icon era for its excellent imaging. Later, Huawei was stuck, Leica chose to leave without mercy, and the Huawei P50 series became the last Huawei mobile phone with the Leica logo.
There are not a few brands that "complement each other" with foreign manufacturers like this, such as vivo and ZEISS, which have cooperated in the development of the highly acclaimed image flagship X80 series, and OnePlus also officially announced a long-term strategic cooperation with Hasselblad last year.
In this regard, many netizens are also curious, nowadays, in addition to taking advantage of foreign manufacturers, domestic mobile phones have no other way to improve the strength of imaging? After all, if huawei terminates cooperation with foreign suppliers, it will become quite passive. And the answer, of course, is yes, and there are even many. For example, the oppo reno series, which is famous for its image features, the newly released mid-range flagship Reno8 Pro+ last month has achieved good imaging performance with the chip Mariana MariSilicon X. This is an NPU dedicated to AI image processing, combined with the OPPO portrait algorithm matrix to form a dual-core portrait photography system, which can bring ultra-high-quality portrait photography effects.
It can be seen that algorithm blessing and optimization have a decisive effect on imaging, and another domestic giant Coolpad also realized this early, and last year chose to cooperate with the top domestic algorithm supplier Hongsoft to create a classic case of strong combination of domestic brands. Speaking of Rainbow Soft, it is not small, it is not only one of the world's earliest imaging software companies, but also the earliest artificial intelligence technology company to enter the mobile field, and has provided image algorithm services for many first-line mobile phone brands.
And this month, a coolCOOL 20s 5G model newly launched has excellent performance in photography. This mobile phone, which costs 999 yuan, is rarely equipped with a 50 million pixel ultra-clear main camera on the rear. Coupled with the algorithm customized by Arcsoft, it allows users to achieve a flagship-level shooting experience in a variety of environmental conditions. At the same time, it can also automatically identify the current scene and light, dispatch balance, and restore details very richly.
It is worth mentioning that with the leading EIS video electronic image stabilization algorithm of Arcsoft, the mobile phone can shoot a more stable video without a gimbal. Unexpectedly, many mid-range flagships do not have anti-shake function, and this thousand-yuan model is actually equipped. Overall, compared with other "scan code" level thousand yuan machines, the camera function of this new machine has a cross-level performance. I have to say that the cooperation between Coolpad and RainbowSoft has once again perfectly achieved the effect of 1+1>2.
epilogue
Nowadays, the blessing of foreign manufacturers can certainly enhance the image strength of mobile phones, but this does not mean that without Leica, ZEISS and other foreign suppliers, we cannot have a new breakthrough in imaging. According to the current development momentum, I believe that in the near future, we will no longer have to rely on foreign camera suppliers.
