48 million pixels, should be the most frequent configuration in the recent mobile phone conference.

Whether it’s a flagship phone or an entry-level thousand-yuan machine, you can see the Sony IMX586 and Samsung GM1’s 48-megapixel sensors.

Besides, some vendors are still very aggressive. Even for mobile phones under $1,000, they will use the “three-shot” or even “four-shot” structure in the rear camera to further enhance the playability of the thousand-yuan machine.

Yes, Realme Q is a machine based on this kind of initiative. It is a thousand yuan machine with a 48-megapixel rear-mounted four-shot camera.

Start with this 48 million pixel first

The Realme Q rear camera uses the less common “3+1” four-shot structure, which contains:

• Main camera: 48 megapixel Sony IMX586 CMOS with a aperture of F1.8
• Super wide-angle lens: 8 megapixel sensor with aperture of F2.25, 119° viewing angle
• Macro lens: The closest focusing distance is 4cm, the aperture is F2.4, and the sensor’s single pixel area is 1.75μm
• Portrait lens: Auxiliary lens dedicated to “Portrait Mode”

For an entry phone with a starting price of $999, the ability to use a multi-camera with a 48-megapixel main camera is also a surprise. Realme doesn’t have a telephoto lens here, but instead uses a macro lens and a portrait lens. It is estimated that it is enough to feel that the 48 megapixel sensor is used to cope with the zoom zoom.

Realme Q’s camera has three basic zoom files of “1x”, “2x” and “5x”, which can achieve up to ten times zoom. When switching to super wide-angle shooting, there are also two zoom files “1x” and “2x”.

In standard mode, when Realme Q doubles or doubles the zoom, the effect of the shot does not have much effect, and the image maintains the same sharpness. When switching to the five-time zoom, the details on the Guangzhou Tower are still clear, but the photos will have a slight lack of resolution. For social networking sites such as friends circle and Weibo, the impact is small.

After all, users who browse images at these sites will not enlarge the image. Realme Q is also available in thumbnail mode.

If you zoom in directly to 10x, the picture taken by Realme Q will have a noticeable quality degradation. althoughHowever, it can guarantee the most basic clarity, but this time also affects the look and feel of the picture. So it is better not to use a 5x zoom when necessary. A similar effect can be achieved by cutting after 5 times of shooting, and it is also possible to control the image quality.

In addition to zoom, Realme Q also offers a stand-alone super wide-angle lens.

After turning on the super wide-angle mode, Realme Q can acquire a super wide-angle viewing angle of 119°, equivalent to about 14mm. As can be seen from the actual imaging results, Realme Q’s super wide-angle shooting is also good, ensuring clear imaging in a well-lit environment. Realme also said that Realme Q has joined the DLDC wide-angle optimization engine to reduce the impact of super wide-angle lens distortion on shooting. The DLDC engine also has a correction when shooting with a wide-angle master.

But when we were shooting with the wide-angle main camera and super wide-angle lens, the Realme Q was a little obvious. In the case of a super wide-angle view, the user can actually take a photo with special effects by means of distortion. However, in daily use, users should pay attention to the effects of distortion. But because we still use the earlier version of this Realme Q, we haven’t got a version update yet, so this may also be a problem with earlier algorithms.

Without the distortion, the overall imaging of Realme Q is also very popular.

The overall performance of Realme Q is also good in a well-lit day environment. The main camera maintains impressive image resolution in the default mode, and the details in the proofs can be clearly defined. The texture restoration on the sky is also good. In the evening, the details of the cloud can be taken, and the highlight position is not too prominent.

The lines of the building are more prominent, but in the general mode of the main photo, the photo is still rough after being enlarged. Although it is enough to deal with friends, microblogging and other platforms, if Realme can handle it later, the photo will be better.

Also, it’s still a problem with HDR processing.

When shooting in HDR mode, the photos taken by Realme Q still have obvious HDR processing traces. Whether shooting in super wide mode or main shooting, you can find HDR processing effects in the proofs. Realme Q needs to be adjusted later.

In other words, such adjustments have little effect on the average user. They can also adjust the photos through the image processing application in the system’s own album to eliminate the impact on the images after HDR processing. But if the algorithm does a little better, then the user can save this step, and it really needs to be more convenient.

In high pixel mode, RealmThe performance of e Q is also relatively stable. Thanks to the high pixel advantage, Realme Q can shoot more detailed photos after 48 million pixels, and the image resolution is better, and it can also be multiplied.

If the 5x zoom does not meet your shooting needs, you can turn on the 48 megapixel mode, and then zoom in and take the same effect.

In this high-pixel mode, Realme Q can perform as well, and there is no problem with imaging. The only thing that is a single image is a bit large, about 10-12 MB JPEG, which is inconvenient for mobile phones that are quick to share.

To say the details of the shot, Realme Q comes with a macro lens with a closest focus distance of 4cm.

With this lens, Realme Q can further zoom in when shooting still life, and can take more details on the surface of the subject. It is used to shoot food or dolls, and it is also suitable. In addition, after the focus distance is shortened, the shooting distance of Realme Q can be made closer, making it easier to take pictures with more blurred images.

However, the “Super Macro” mode is stored in the headphone menu of the camera interface. If it is turned on, it is not as convenient as “Super Wide Angle”. If Realme Q can make adjustments to integrate super wide-angle switching into the zoom range, and Super Macro can also be moved to the camera’s main interface, it will be easier to use.

In the low-light imaging environment, Realme Q performs similarly to other products with similar positioning.

Realme Q also guarantees picture brightness if there is insufficient light. Just look at the overall picture, the look and feel of the photo is still clean, there will be no obvious noise under the premise of not zooming in.

If you turn on multi-zoom at this time, Realme Q will still shoot a certain amount of white noise, and the picture will be rough.

As far as photography is concerned, Realme Q is also a product that can meet the needs of thousands of users.

The ability to see the 48 million pixel IMX586 at this price point is still very exciting for me. Moreover, when Realme Q uses this high-end sensor, there is no obvious acclimatization, and the overall performance is also good. Standing at the price of 999 yuan, Realme Q is indeed satisfactory.

If the algorithm can handle it better, Realme Q will have a better camera experience.

There are some small details on the experience

Appearance, ReaLme Q uses the effect of “holographic illusion diamond pattern”. When the light hits the back of the phone, it shows the effect of the diamond cut surface. Realme chose the two colors of “Diamond Green” and “Light Diamond Blue”, both of which are equipped with glossy finishes to enhance the texture of the drill face.

It must be said that domestic mobile phones are very passionate about the texture processing of the cover, and they also love to do all kinds of light effects on the back cover.

Before, Realme X also added a matte effect to simulate “onion” in the master version, while the common Realme X also has a common light effect. It is also reasonable for Realme to add some new design elements to Realme Q.

Realme Q’s diamond texture is also good, just keep the physical fingerprint recognition module on the back, which will have a little impact on the integrity of the back. But for the Realme Q, a thousand-yuan entry phone, the most traditional post-entity fingerprinting is also subject to cost, which is unavoidable.

The body of Realme Q is not too thin, and the curvature of the edge can fit the palm of the hand, improving the overall grip. The position of the physical fingerprint is also placed in the place where the finger can just touch when holding, so that the phone can be lifted, held and unlocked, and a series of actions are natural.

However, the edge of Realme Q is layered. When you hold it, there is still an unnatural feeling of “hands-on” when you put your finger on it. Users who care too much about this feeling are advised to bring a protective case when using it.

The front of the Realme Q is equipped with a 6.3-inch 2340×1080 water drop screen with a body screen ratio of 90.6%.

For the current mobile phone manufacturers, there are not many plug-in screens in the thousand yuan machine. We will not make such aggressive progress based on cost considerations. Realme Q uses a water drop screen to control the screen ratio at 90.6%.

Realme Q comes with a USB-C interface at the bottom, supports 20W VOOC flash charging 3.0, and with 4035mAh battery, it can basically meet the daily needs. A 3.5mm headphone port is also included next to the USB-C port for easy access to wired headphones.

Hardware, Realme Q is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 712 mobile platform, with a storage combination of 4GB RAM and 64GB ROM. It may be the limitation of the engineering machine. We have not been able to install the Bunny, Geekbench and other running software tests after the updated version of this Realme Q, so we can’t know the specific performance of the machine here.

But for normal light use, Realme Q can also handle everyday use. If you don’t have a lot of apps, or just need some basic applications, 4GB is enough. Just for most people, 4GB RAM is really a bit stressful. However, Realme Q also offers a 6+64 and 8+128 storage combination, and users can choose to store a higher version if they are not enough.

In terms of games, Realme Q supports Hyperboost 2.0 technology, which includes FrameBoost, TouchBoost and GameBoost technologies to optimize game performance.

We also tried to use Realme Q to play the most common game now, Peace Elite. The overall control is good, touch and mobile can keep up with the basic operation, and the game experience is actually good.

And, every time Realme Q opens the game, it reminds the user to turn on the optimization function of Hyperboost 2.0. Just like the game mode popped up when other mobile phones enter the game, the user will not miss or forget the settings to ensure the experience.

Pricing 998 yuan for aggressiveness

If you come to the conclusion of the mobile experience, Realme Q is indeed a mobile phone with a price/performance feature.

Unlike the previous wave of “cost-effective mobile phones”, the new product of Realme Q will be more specific and the market will be more targeted.

Realme is also very clear when it comes to launching a mobile phone. Realme Q is a product with a hot configuration. With 48 million pixels and four shots, it is the core weapon of Realme Q, and it is also a sign that allows thousands of users to remember themselves. With this logo, Realme Q is able to quickly increase its awareness in the market.

As you can see from the previous use, Realme puts the focus of the mobile phone on the whole camera experience. The balance of the whole machine will also tilt toward the core selling point of “photographing”.

You will also find that Realme Q is a mobile phone that makes photos very prominent in the same price market. Other configurations can meet the basic needs, and the strength is not bad enough.

So, if you are thinking about taking pictures and you don’t have a budget, Realme Q is really a mobile phone that meets your requirements. But if you want a very comprehensive bucket machine, there are still a lot of options for you.
