The main camera uses a 50-million-pixel OV50H outsole CMOS, a 1/1.31-inch image sensor, a large aperture of F1.6, and supports OIS optical image stabilization.
The ultra-wide angle also uses the 50 million high-pixel Samsung S5KJN1, a common CMOS, which supports a 122-degree field of view.
So, how does the moto X50 Ultra's image actually perform? We also took a lot of proofs with it.
- Main camera
In daytime scenes, the main camera of the moto X50 Ultra can accurately restore the color of the environment under the condition of sufficient light outside, and the captured images are very clear and pure in various scenes, and the saturation of the picture is relatively high, and the colors are more pleasing, which is very suitable for shooting landscapes.
In low-light indoor scenes, with the advantage of the outsole, the captured picture can still ensure that there is enough resolution, and the noise of the picture is relatively low, and you can still see more details when you zoom in and look closely.
- Telephoto
The 3x periscope telephoto lens, even after cropping, the picture remains clear and pure, with a super resolution of 64 million pixels, and the details are displayed in place.
When you zoom in on the image and look closely, there's barely noticeable noise. Even in low-light or backlit scenes, the quality of the images is not greatly affected, and the sharpness and color reproduction are still maintained.
- Ultra-wide-angle
The 50-million-pixel ultra-wide-angle lens will be corrected by default, and the distortion of the barrel is completely eliminated on both sides of the picture, and it looks the same as the sample shot by the main camera.
In addition, in daylight conditions, the color rendering of the sample is on par with the real environment, almost what you see is what you get, and there is no pasting in the zoomed-in image.
- Night view
In night scenes, the images are layered, with excellent exposure, color, and resolution. Colors are accurately rendered at night, blacks are pure, noise is well-controlled, and samples look very vivid and realistic.
