On "best smart camera phones" debate has
continued, Apple iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S4 is probably the most popular
camera phones, but some photographers may require more powerful hardware, so
this year, including the Nokia Lumia 1020 , MOTO X and other new aircraft
launched a new round of "smart phone camera war."
In this round of the competition, we can see that the new
players have some of the killer: Nokia Lumia 1020 equipped with a 41
million-pixel camera , is currently the highest resolution phone image sensor
of a; while MOTO X is adopted 10 million pixel camera, using RGBC sensors can
effectively enhance the level of low-light imaging. So, whether the level of
new models such as the camera parameters like brisk, and greatly exceeded the
older models do? Or through a real shot sample comparison to find out it.
Daytime outdoor landscapes
Outstanding landscape photos need to express the magnificent
big scene at the same time, to bring more detail, so the pixel is a key. Apple
iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S4 performance relatively common, especially
compared to the Nokia Lumia 1020, the latter's high pixel delivers amazing
detail. As MOTO X, is completely at a disadvantage, gray screen affect clarity,
the distant landscape also has a larger loss of detail.
Low-light portraits (without using flash )
Shooting in low light (without flash), it's still the Nokia
Lumia 1020 winner, photos, details better noise control is relatively good, but
there are yellowish screen problem, you need to manually correct the white
balance late. Another flagship low-light shooting MOTO X, the phenomenon
appears overexposed, making the screen looks a little noisy, but is still
relatively better than the Apple iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S4. Generally
speaking, the performance of four mobile phones are not perfect, still can not
go beyond having a large size CMOS sensor digital SLR cameras .
Low-light portraits (flash)
Turn on the flash, you can see the Nokia Lumia 1020 Xenon
flash performance is superior to the other three LED flash, but the balance is
still a problem, people's skin looks very strange. Apple iPhone 5's performance
has improved relative without a flash, but the character's blue shirt almost
purple, color cast is more serious. As MOTO X, exposure to even things looked,
and Samsung Galaxy S4 is showing a sense of painting, and the background there
is a clear distortion of the framework conditions.
Outdoor Macro
Macro shooting outdoors, Nokia Lumia 1020 wins again with
excellent detail, but the colors warmer problem persists. Relatively speaking,
the Apple iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S4 restore the color to be more precise.
As MOTO X, although relatively sharp flower detail, but the picture color is
still not accurate enough.
Still Life (color fidelity and white balance)
Finally, we test the four mobile phones still capture the
color accuracy and white balance. You can see, the biggest problem is still the
MOTO X, as Apple's iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S4 color fidelity; while Nokia
Lumia 1020 photo color saturation, sharpness and noise control, but
significantly better than the other models.
Competition Results
It appears that Motorola is still not worth how to make a
top camera phone, even MOTO X camera has some technical highlights, but the
lack of good image processing engine, making its 10 million pixel camera
shooting effect is not as Apple iPhone 5 of 8 million pixels more to the force.
Of course, the blue screen problems are likely in the next software update
improved.
As for the Nokia Lumia 1020, really is the best smartphone
camera, with excellent detail and noise control, but it is not perfect, such as
over-saturated color processing. In addition, the user also needs to take into
account the limitations of Windows Phone system. In conclusion, if simply to
photographic effect, the choice of the Nokia Lumia 1020 is absolutely right,
but considering the ecological system, a combination of factors, may be Apple
iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S4 is still the best choice.
