The competition in the mobile phone industry has got fiercer in recent years – users are no longer satisfied with just a sleek appearance.
The combination of form, together with the functions that a phone provides, has now become the deciding factor. Hence, the “imaging power” of mobile phone photography has now become a frequently used vocabulary in the industry. Many mobile phone companies are actively exploring and racing against each other to be a pioneer in turning imaging power into influence.
“This time we selected the four latest Android phones to make a comparison and find out which stands out more. They are TECNO CAMON 16 Premier, Samsung A51, Huawei Y9, and OPPO A9,” said TECNO.
According to the statement, photography is fast becoming the main differentiator between mobile phones as the best models in the market offering quality that can rival professional-grade cameras.
It added, “With the four models on review, it comes down to the multi-shot and AI camera modes. TECNO CAMON 16 Premier boasts a massive 64MP rear ultra quad camera, while the Samsung A51 and OPPO A9 max out at 48MP, and Huawei Y9 with 24MP. TECNO CAMON 16 Premier is equipped with a 48MP dual front camera, while Samsung A51 with 32MP, OPPO A9 and Huawei Y9 with 16MP.
“This gives a crisp and noticeable sharpness to the photos taken by the CAMON 16 Premier over the other models. If you’re an avid photographer or are particular about your photos, TECNO’s model will not disappoint, regardless of whether it’s the 48MP front cameras or the 64MP rear cameras.”
It noted that such advances in mobile photography were only made possible by the research and development efforts in processor chips, who shoulder much of the burden that affects image quality.
“Hence, having the best chips will have a direct impact on the pictures we take every day. Compared with the older Mirin and Snapdragon processors in the A51, Y9 and A9, the CAMON 16 uses MediaTek’s latest MTK G90T. With CPU processing speeds of up to 2.05GHz and 64MP camera support, the G90 is more than capable of bringing your visual ideas into reality.
“In addition to the main front and rear cameras, the conversion of bright night scenes into ultra-clear night scene photos is also a major feature of each product. OPPO A9 introduced the ultra-clear night scene mode 2.0, using HDR and multi-frame technology to provide users with night portraits that surpass the brightness and details that the naked eye perceives. In contrast, Samsung A51 and Huawei Y9 are slightly inferior,” TECNO stated.
The Samsung A51, according to the smartphone firm, does not have optical image stabilization, so even though the EIS and algorithm are used for shooting at night, the pictures taken are slightly flawed in resolution.
“Additionally, there are still dark details in the background and the deterioration in the quality of its wide-angled images is also disappointing.
“Similarly, the night scene mode of Huawei Y9 has a long exposure time of up to 8 seconds, requiring a manual operation to shorten the time and lower the ISO to take good photos,” said.
