Battle of the flagship! HTC U11 EYEs camera experience report

The new U11 EYEs, released by HTC at some time ago, is one of the best priced camera phones in the market for $ 3,000 now. It is equipped with a 1 / 2.5-inch 12-megapixel sensor with a single pixel area of ​​1.4μm, an F / 1.7 lens Shake), this solution has only been in the flagship model above 4000 yuan body appeared.

In order to explore the specific imaging qualities of the U11 EYEs and the question of which one is better when it comes to flagship handsets, we brought U11 EYEs into the real scene, took proofs and analyzed them, which included daytime general scenes, difficulty A high contrast (backlight) scene, and a night scene of the most sophisticated camera phone.

In contrast proofs and night scenes, we invited the opponent is the price of 5,000 yuan Huawei Mate 10 Pro, the machine has been in the world's leading photography agency DxOMark evaluation of the test scores of 100 points, the main camera equipped with a /2.9-inch 12 million pixel sensor (single pixel area 1.25μm), supplemented by F / 1.6 lens (optical image stabilization), the same size can not be underestimated.

First of all look at the general scene during the day, as almost all camera phones can easily cope with this scenario, we decided to analyze only HTC U11 EYEs proofs, without adding contrast.

As we all know, 12 million pixel sensor bias night shooting and backlight shooting, the number of pixels is not popular, so U11 EYEs limit resolution is not high.Even if the entire screen without any unnecessary smear, after the enlarged screen, we Still can find the farthest branches illegible, as well as the face of the bridge 'mysterious disappearance' situation.In addition to analytic force, HTC did not take the radical sharpening algorithm is the cause of this phenomenon.

This is handled by the daily operations of international manufacturers. Brands such as HTC, Apple and Samsung do not deliberately enhance the resolution of the screen through later methods. You can say that it does not please the eye, you can also say that it's old Honestly presents a 12 million pixel screen detail '. In any case, most people will not zoom in to see details after taking pictures with a cell phone, this difference is understandable.

Interestingly, over the years HTC camera color hair green issue, until today also failed to solve this piece of proofs, no matter haze in Beijing's sky or the main screen - building, there is a clear green situation, ' Of course, I chose to forgive it. "After looking at the proofs on the HTC mobile phone screen and the color-proofed iMac 2017 screen, we found a more interesting fact - since most of the screens on HTC phones are reddish in color, Instead, viewing on a cell phone became normal due to the offset of the hue.

As for whether this HTC is intentional, I am afraid only HTC can give us an explanation. Prior to this, we still try to forgive it ......

Then, we entered the backlight scenes, turn on the HDR for HTC U11 EYEs and Huawei Mate 10 Pro comparison between the results are clear at a glance, under the HTC backlighting more partial to the green problem, the HDR for high light suppression and darkroom brightness enhancement effect Not as good as Huawei Mate 10 Pro.

However, the latter's disadvantages are also obvious - not only is the white balance colder and the HDR post-processing is not perfect, making the color reproduction extremely limited and the color saturation of the dark areas almost completely lost. In addition, Huawei Mate 10 Pro HDR into a film there is a serious loss of details, the ultimate resolution can not be compared with the HTC U11 EYEs Overall, the HDR effect, the two be regarded as tied.

Night shot contrast, we have opened two mobile phone manual mode (M file), the test of its optical image stabilization compensation effect. HTC U11 EYEs in 1 second long exposure to easily complete the handheld camera, into a very high rate; and Huawei Mate 10 Pro in the 1 second long exposure settings can not be completely handheld shooting, and we eventually set the shutter speed to 0.8 seconds, and after trying a few times reluctantly shot a good picture.Therefore, HTC U11 EYEs optics Anti-shake 'BUFF Addition' is obviously better than Huawei Mate 10 Pro.

Although the shutter speed difference of 0.2 seconds, but with a larger aperture of the Huawei Mate 10 Pro also only slightly increased after the ISO and HTC U11 EYEs come up with the same screen brightness, the details of the level of both the same.But, In this scenario, Huawei Mate 10 Pro has a shades of reddish hue and the night sky does not look as pure as U11 EYEs.

In contrast to the automatic mode, there is a big gap between the two and into the film.Although the measured results are excellent, but HTC seems to have less confidence in their optical image stabilization, U11EYEs safety shutter limit is only 1/8 Seconds; As a reference, the optical anti-shake and no U11 EYEs force Huawei Mate 10 Pro gives a 1/4 second safety shutter limit, it can be quite ironic.

Puzzling is still behind, although U11 EYEs proof of this ISO up to 3000 +, its color reproduction than proof ISO ISO only 1250 Mate 10 Pro place too much.Of course, in the ISO difference is so huge, Mate 10 Pro's picture is purer and too much, the stars in the sky are clearly discernible; at the same time, the stars are already 'colored' with colored noise in the U11 EYEs' screen. It appears that with the HTC Night Phobia, M File open long exposure is.

The evaluation of high standards and strict requirements of the purpose of removing the proofs are more 'extreme', regardless of HTC U11 EYEs or Huawei Mate 10 Pro, can not be called the perfect photo, but the phone below 3,000 yuan Representatives of the price of 5,000 yuan and can play on the photo comparable, still very much loved.

For ordinary users who have less chance of taking pictures in the extreme scenes, the HTC U11 EYEs' camera can fully realize the high level of imaging in daily life records, and we think it has been able to meet all the needs of ordinary users for camera phones.

It seems that using the HTC mobile phone nightly shoot, M File open long exposure is.
