High pixels put forward higher requirements for mobile phone hardware and software.

In today’s mobile phone technology development is slightly dull, the camera is increasingly becoming the focus of domestic mobile phone manufacturers.

Samsung launched the 108 million pixel sensor ISOCELL Bright HMX on August 12. This is the industry’s first mobile image sensor with more than 100 million pixels. According to the news released by Xiaomi’s video technology communication on August 7, Xiaomi’s future mobile phone will be equipped with a 100 million-pixel camera. Obviously, the image sensor used above is Samsung’s product.

With respect to 100 million pixel cameras, Samsung and existing iPhones now have more than 10 million pixels. However, domestic mobile phone brands seem to have a consensus on the issue of continuously improving mobile phone pixels. On August 7, Xiaomi announced a 64-megapixel mobile phone camera and claimed to be used in the Redmi brand. Realme also announced that it will announce the 6400 pixel mobile phone camera.

Even if Xiaomi and Realme are neglected at the 64-megapixel level, people will notice that the domestic high-end brand phones released this year have all applied more than 40 million cameras. This shows that domestic brand mobile phones have a very persistent pursuit of camera pixels.

In order to push up the pixels, or in order to create a better brand effect, each mobile phone manufacturer has cooperated with internationally renowned photographic equipment manufacturers in the past few years. The well-known case is that Huawei and Leica started in 2016. Cooperation. This cooperation has contributed to the increase in the global market share of Huawei mobile phones to a certain extent.

Realme’s later camera is a collaboration with Sony. Xiaomi has chosen to cooperate with Samsung in this field, and there are also many factors that make use of camera brands and high pixel manufacturing to make more selling points. In 2018, Motorola chose to cooperate with Hasselblad in Sweden to launch z3 with the Hasselblad module. But the z3 camera pixel is not high (12 million), Hasselblad did not bring brand effect. Z3 sales are relatively flat.

The size of the phone camera pixel does not completely determine the quality of the shot, and ultimately the decisive phone-related hardware and software devices. High pixels place higher demands on the resolution of the mobile phone screen, the computing power of the CPU, and the memory. In addition, the mobile phone software settings have an important impact on the basic photographic elements such as color temperature, sensitivity, and white balance of the scene. The success of Huawei’s mobile phone camera is partly due to its increasingly high hardware level. But its software also contributed to the post-photography data processing.

It seems that Xiaomi and Realme are adopting high-pixel cameras on low-end and mid-range phones, taking into account hardware costs, software processing capabilities and its user base.
