IT168? Evaluation is an important part that directly affects the user experience in mobile phone photography. Low-light night photography has always been the core function of major mobile phone brands, focusing on optimization and as a selling point. In addition to using cameras with larger aperture and better photosensitive elements, different optimization schemes are also emerging one after another. For example, the night scene mode of color+black-and-white double shooting, the design of large photosensitive unit area with four in one pixel, etc., are all for the mobile phone to have better image quality and color performance when shooting at night.
▲ In 2117, China took a good photo of the mobile phone: Low-light night scenes
In order to be closer to everyone's life scenes, we first chose to take a group in the pizza shop. This is a showcase that many restaurants have, and the lights are yellow and dim, especially in the corner, which can be said to test the ability of mobile phones in exposure and white balance.
The results are quite obvious from the proofs. One plus 5T and HTC U11+ are undoubtedly ranked in the first echelon. The color temperature of one plus 5T is the closest to the scene, the brightness and contrast of the picture are also moderate, and the bright and dark parts show enough details. The HTC U11+, which always has insufficient brightness in the front, suddenly broke out. It feels like there is an extra light in the front. If the color temperature is not slightly green, it may be able to press one plus 5T.
oppo r111s, vivo X21, gionee M7 and Meizu PRO 7 Plus are respectively deficient in exposure and color temperature, while Huawei Mate 11 Pro, Nubian Z17S and glory V11 have color cast problems.

We enlarge the image to 111%, and the OPPO R11s and vivo X21 of the first echelon have better details. You can pay attention to the hair, eyes and beard (more stereoscopic) of the face on the trademark, and OPPO R11s can even see the concave and convex feeling of the paper surface. HTC U11+, Meizu PRO 7 Plus, and One Plus 5T also retain certain details, and good noise control also makes the picture look clean. Huawei Mate 11 Pro, Gionee M7, Nubian Z17S, and Glory V11 showed a strong smear feeling. Although the noise was controlled, the details were lost.

The gloss of the pizza is very attractive. Huawei Mate 11 Pro with gourmet mode obviously has some inherent advantages. Although the excessive saturation and contrast are not true, the picture effect is indeed more in line with the needs of the public. If colleagues pursue visual effects and natural color reproduction, then one plus 5T is another good choice, so this part of Huawei Mate 11 Pro and one plus 5T belong to the first echelon.
▲ Low light shooting (food)
But in this part of the sample, HTC? The details of U11+ are outstanding, followed by OPPO R11s, vivo X21, Glory V11 and Xiaomi MIX 2, which can distinguish the meat quality of shrimp. But have you noticed that the good details are lacking in the overall picture, and users rarely enlarge the food to see the details. However, the overall performance of the screen is obviously a priority here, and the optimization objects of Huawei Mate 11 Pro and one plus 5T are correct.

This is a very common night scene of the city, and we often take this kind of photo when we go shopping and travel, so our low-light night shooting contrast is closer to reality. Here, Huawei Mate 11 Pro, Glory V11, One Plus 5T and OPPO R11s have the best exposure and color temperature performance, while HTC U11+, vivo X21, Gionee M7 and Xiaomi MIX 2 have a little color cast and insufficient brightness. As for Meizu PRO 7 Plus and Nubian Z17S, the face change looks white due to overexposure.
but apart from the exposure and color temperature, the focusing experience made us rearrange our positions. Xiaomi MIX 2, Glory V11, Gionee M7 and Meizu PRO 7 Plus all have the phenomenon of pulling bellows (repeated focusing) when taking pictures at night, among which Xiaomi MIX 2 will occasionally be out of focus, so it is finally like this. The first echelon consists of Huawei Mate 11 Pro, one plus 5T and OPPO R11s.

However, why do you think that the clarity of the photos above is a little discounted? The key is that except Huawei Mate 11 Pro and Glory V11, the details of other mobile phones are all pasted, which makes the whole photo look not particularly clear.

So where is the limit of details of mobile phone night shooting? We specially took photos of a group of buildings, and we can see the watershed through the windows in the photos. The clarity of Huawei Mate 11 Pro and Glory V11 obviously exceeds that of other rival models.

Finally, the ultimate test of abnormality comes, that is, brightly lit billboards in the city. Because billboards have strong light, they will have strong light contrast with the surrounding areas, and ordinary mobile phones are prone to overexposure of billboards. Here, in addition to Huawei Mate 11 Pro, Glory V11, OPPO R11s, and one plus 5T, other mobile phones have this problem.
▲ Night exposure, click to see a larger image
It will be more obvious after zooming in by 111%. The words "Eight-in-One Caspian Sea Story" next to the bull's head are only Huawei Mate 11 Pro, Glory V11, One Plus 5T and OPPO R11s, and other mobile phones have very bright highlights, and even some of them can't see the picture clearly.

Summary of night shooting in low light
In this section,
products that are in the first echelon based on the comparison results of each event: Huawei Mate 11 Pro, OPPO R11s, One Plus 5T, Glory V11
products that still need to be improved: vivo X21, HTC U11+, Nubian Z17S, Meizu PRO 7 Plus, Xiaomi MIX 2, Gionee M7
According to the frequency of the first echelon keywords in each event, Huawei Among them, Huawei Mate 11 Pro has the most outstanding performance, and the accuracy of exposure and the details of the picture have brought sufficient advantages. OPPO 11s and one plus 5T show relatively stable color temperature correction and noise control. Although Glory V11 has a certain impact on the experience during focusing, the low light performance is still not bad from the imaging results.
