Chapter 107 Image Strength (Ch 830049866)

This wave of operations by Zhuhai Xiaochang instantly attracted the attention of many netizens.
The Meizu 16 series finally met with users on the fifth day of September.
As a shareholder of the Zhuhai small factory, Chen Tong was also invited to attend this press conference.
Chen Tong was very excited about this press conference, after all, it would be the first time for him to appear at this press conference. The company has developed a new processor chip.
The launch event began with an introduction to the product design.
While major manufacturers are currently starting to roll out new products, the small factory in Zhuhai is still spending a lot of effort on product design.
The entire product uses a ceramic back cover design, making the phone feel as smooth as jade.
At the same time, the phone uses a circular triple-camera design concept, and the demo of the lens module looks very distinctive.
It’s a pity that most manufacturers and consumers now pay most attention to the basic configuration of the product. Of course, the product configuration prepared by the small Zhuhai factory this time is naturally not weak.
First of all, there is the new T3 screen. This time, the entire series of products uses a 1080p straight screen.
Although Huateng Microelectronics provides a 2k resolution screen, the small Zhuhai factory did not use a 2k resolution screen, but instead used a more peaceful 1080 screen.
The 2k resolution screen looks amazing, but the small Zhuhai factory has gone through years of honing its skills in high-power chips.
There is no rush to adopt 2k resolution screens on this generation of products.
The entire product design pursues the experience of daily use.
Even with a 1080P resolution screen, the T3 screen quality can be said to be very high with the latest screen pixel arrangement method.
In addition to the detailed explanation on the screen, what attracted the most attention among netizens was the phone’s image camera.
Nearly one-third of the entire press conference was spent introducing the cameras of this generation of mobile phones.
The regular version uses the Sanxin 1/2-inch 48-megapixel main camera. This is also the first domestic manufacturer other than the Ju factory to use a high-resolution camera.
Of course, other mobile phone brands have actually thought about adopting high-pixel cameras.
However, it ultimately failed due to lack of support from the processor chip.
This generation of Xuanwu processor chips is very fully equipped with imaging configurations, and the long-term friendship between Sanxin and Meizu also allows it to adopt high-pixel cameras.
And the most surprising thing this time is that the entire image specifically mentioned the AI ​​algorithm of the entire camera system in the introduction.
The performance of the ISP and NPU modules of the Xuanwu processor chip far exceeds that of all current mobile processor chips.
Even though the imaging algorithm team of the small Zhuhai factory has a relatively short optimization time for the ISP module based on the Xuanwu processor and has developed relatively less computing power, it is still stronger than most processor chips currently on the market.
For this reason, at this press conference, the small Zhuhai factory introduced in detail the image improvements brought about by its own company with the support of imaging algorithms.
At the same time, the HDR algorithm of the Meizu 16 series surprised all netizens.
To put it simply, HDR is an algorithm technology that enhances the dynamic range of images and videos through imaging chip algorithms.
In essence, it captures the brightest and darkest details in the entire scene through multiple pictures with different exposures, and finally generates an image with a wider dynamic range.
Of course, this algorithm consumes a lot of computing power of the imaging chip. For example, HDR photos require taking a lot of pictures and finally synthesizing them to get a picture with a wider dynamic range!
As for the HDR video shooting of mobile phones, the requirements are more algorithmic. Currently, mainstream mobile phones generally do not support 60 frames HDR!
60fps, which means that 60 pictures are needed to shoot this video for one second!
These 60 pictures all require a high dynamic range HDR algorithm to synthesize multiple pictures.
Moreover, the algorithm time required is very long, and the amount of data and images processed is also very large.
As we all know, many mobile phone products will experience chip heating when consuming image computing power. For example, some processor chips are short of computing power when shooting 8k videos, resulting in severe heating.
The 4K60fps+HDR dynamic shooting requires higher computing power than some ordinary 8k videos.
Even 1080P 60fps+HDR dynamic shooting requires higher performance than 8K video shooting.
This time, the Meizu 16 series promoted its mobile phone imaging capabilities, specifically showing that its mobile phone products can support 4k60fps HDR shooting.
It can also support long-term shooting, and the temperature of the phone will not rise too much during the shooting process.
All the manufacturers who were paying attention to the product launch this time also became solemn. After all, the imaging capabilities announced this time were even stronger than those of Fruit.
Today’s smartphones are much better than domestic smartphones in terms of imaging capabilities.
Even though Apple’s camera performance completely lags behind domestic mobile phones in the following years, it is definitely better than domestic products in video recording.
The reason why Apple phones have an absolute advantage in the field of photography is mainly due to their advantages in imaging algorithms.
At the same time, the image ISP of the Fruit chip is much stronger than the flagship chips on current domestic Android phones.
For example, in 2022, Apple phones will basically support 4k60fps+HDR shooting, but domestic Android flagship phones don’t have much to do with this!
There’s just no way!
The computing power of the processor chip used is not good enough. Forcibly using this function will cause the processor chip to heat up seriously, and finally affect the life and user experience of the phone.
However, Meizu now claimed in this press conference that its products have very powerful shooting capabilities in video shooting, which has also made major manufacturers begin to pay attention to the mobile phone chips used by Meizu.
At the same time, major business manufacturers finally understood why DXO gave high scores to the Meizu 16 series.
After all, the highest sub-score of the Meizu 16 series in the comprehensive score is still the camera score, and its ordinary photo score is only higher than that of Xiaomi Mi 8!
Just when major manufacturers were shocked by the powerful camera capabilities of the Meizu 16 series, the Meizu 16 once again released its powerful photo-taking capabilities.
With the help of powerful algorithms, it is possible to clearly capture the scenes in the dark night.
At the same time, some blurred exposures in the dark are compensated a lot through the imaging algorithm, which makes the product have terrifying shooting capabilities in night scene shooting.
