IT168 evaluation With the launch of iPhone7 plus equipped with dual cameras, dual camera has been used as a selling point for a number of mobile phone brands, and the new gameplay brought by dual camera also allows users to talk about it. However, more young partners have doubts about the new things such as double shots, especially since the actual capabilities of single shots have not yet been fully explored, and the actual application value of dual shots is yet to be discussed. In response to this point of view, Xiao Bian made a comparison of actual proofs to tell everyone whether there is a clear gap between single shots and double shots as advertised by mobile phone brands.
The models involved in this comparison are the Nubian miniS on behalf of the single camera camp and the glory 8 on behalf of the dual camera camp. The reason for choosing them is because they are all thinking about the main product in the similar price segment. The long-term plowing double shot glory series, Glory 8 equipped with two Sony custom 12 million pixel IMX286 sensor lens, and in the dual camera optimization is also relatively good, so as a reference measurement model has meaning. As another representative model of this comparison, Nubian miniS equipped with the current market's highest pixel 23 million pixel Sony IMX318 sensor lens, and the built-in NeoVision camera system has a number of features such as macro mode, electronic aperture. Now let's take a look at the camera parameters of the two phones.
From the point of view of the parameters, Nubian miniS should occupy the natural advantage in pixels, and the higher pixels bring more clear details of performance. In terms of aperture, the Nubian miniS also has a slight advantage. Glory 8 has two cameras, which may dominate the camera function and some specific environments as a whole. Of course, these are just parameters. Let's take a look at the actual proofs.

Comparison of details (left: Nubian miniS; right: glory 8)
From the perspective of the overall picture, in the case of adequate light, the overall picture quality of the single/dual camera is relatively similar, and the brightness of the Glory 8 is slightly higher, and the picture color is closer to the human eye. After zooming in, Nubian miniS showed excellent screen resolution ability, and the details of the blade can be clearly seen, but Glory 8 has been appalling.

In this group's proofs comparison, the two mobile phones showed different styles in terms of white balance, in which the screen of Glory 8 was yellow, and the Nubian miniS was somewhat purple. However, from the color of the green leaves and the enlarged details, the Nubian miniS equipped with a single camera in this round has some advantages over the Glory8.

In this group of proofs, both single and double shots show extremely high quality, regardless of whether the brightness of the whole screen or the degree of color reproduction is maintained at a relatively high level. After zooming in, we can see that the details of the Nubian miniS equipped with a high-pixel lens are much clearer than glory 8.

In a more complex environment at night, the overall picture of the two is quite good. Among them, the brightness of Glory 8 is obviously higher than that of Nubian miniS, which also illustrates the advantages of double shooting at night shooting, but it also leads to the purity in the dark place without Nubian miniS. After the enlargement, the author discovered that the Nubian miniS had some problems with the light treatment. The picture showed a slight overexposure. The details of the glory 8 remained good. The noise of the screen was obviously less, and the subject was photographed. Clear.

In the second set of night proofs, the night-time imaging capabilities of the two are still worthy of recognition. Among them, Glory 8 continues to maintain the double-brightness advantage in brightness, the overall brightness of the picture is slightly higher than Nubian miniS. But at the details, the high pixel advantage of the Nubian miniS is reflected again, and the details are less and more clear than the glory 8 noise.
Single / double camera blur ability comparison: (click to view original image)
Dual-camera phones currently on the market all have this biggest selling point, that is, through double-camera hardware bail and software algorithm calculations, dual-camera phones can bring a powerful background blur effect, while single-shot camp Nubia MiniS built-in macro camera can also achieve a similar blur effect, so I specifically added the ability to test the blur, the following on the comparison chart:

Comparison of details (left: Nubian miniS; right: glory 8)
In the dual camera mode, Glory 8's background blurring capability is indeed worthy of recognition. The effect of blurring is already very close to the effect of SLR. However, the edge of the glory can still see more obvious traces of algorithm processing. Although the mini-S has a macro mode of blessing, the effect of blurring is still worse than that of Glory 8.

From this group of proofs, we can more clearly see the dual camera's advantage in background blurring. Nubian miniS proofs carrying only single shots basically do not have the effect of blurring, and vice versa. It is practical and many.
Article summary:
Single and dual camera
After comparison of multiple sets of proofs, we can summarize the following points:
1, in the ordinary proofs, single / dual camera in the overall picture quality are quite close, but in the algorithm and color orientation is slightly different, but if you zoom in to view, single camera benefits from the advantages of high pixels, the picture The definition is definitely higher than double-camera. Considering that dual-cameras nowadays generally use low-pixel CMOS, we think that dual-camera is still inferior to high-pixel single camera in terms of definition of the image quality in the short term.
2, from the proofs at night, thanks to dual-camera hardware blessing, like the same conditions in the dark part of the dual camera with a higher brightness level, and this is very important at night photographing.
3. In terms of background blurring, the dual cameras have a great advantage in their ability to blur, and single shots are not as good as double shots in terms of blur.
Concluding Remarks: Seeing here, I believe that the buddies have already had the answer to whether there is a gap between the single/double shots. From the author's point of view, it is undeniable that the dual cameras do achieve a 1+1 greater than 1 effect in some respects, but due to the fact that the effective pixels of mainstream dual camera phones have been at a relatively low level, this has also led to a clear picture. There is a large gap between the degree and the high-pixel single shot. Perhaps this is Sony's road to differentiation based on the actual needs of the current market. On the one hand, it continues to use single-shot high-resolution resolution as the selling point, and on the other hand, it uses dual-cameras to meet the application of more special scenes.
