Samsung S20: 1 100 million pixels, 100 times zoom

Samsung has confirmed that the annual flagship of S series will be released on February 12, and the model has jumped from S 10 to S20. Is Samsung ready to explode toothpaste?

In recent years, Samsung has been criticized for being too conservative in smartphone lens technology, and constantly polished with 1/2.55-inch sensor. This time, there is really a big move on the S20 series.

There are three versions of this Samsung S20 series, which are 6.3-inch S20, 6.7-inch S20+ and 6.9-inch S20 Ultra. The latter is the top version of this series.

It is rumored that Samsung will use its own 108 megapixel sensor on S20 Ultra, but it is not the same model as that used on Xiaomi CC9 Pro before. The sensor named ISOCELL Bright HM 1 is the successor product of HMX used by Xiaomi CC9 Pro.

Although it is still at the bottom of 11.33 inches, the Nonacell nine-in-one technology, which is more advanced than Tetracell four-in-one, can be used to merge nine single pixels into1,thus converting 0.8μm pixels into 2.4μm pixels and still maintaining the output size of12 million pixels.

It seems that Samsung is not so selfless, and this time it really needs to be enlarged. What's even more surprising is that Samsung S20 Ultra is also equipped with a 48-megapixel periscope telephoto lens, which is said to be only 5mm thick, supporting 5 times optical zoom and 100 times digital zoom.

It's hard to believe that this is really the configuration of Samsung S flagship, which has always been conservative. It seems that it is really pushed by domestic manufacturers.

The resulting design of Samsung S20 series rear camera module is also an ugly word. A huge rectangle protrudes from the upper left corner of the back of S20 Ultra. In addition to the main camera and telephoto lens, there are also super wide-angle and TOF lenses, which ruin a beautiful face. It seems that this situation is difficult to change on this year's mobile phone.

Xiaomi10: 256 million pixels

There will also be two versions of Xiaomi 10 this year, 10 and 10 Pro. Of course, the highlights are all on 10 Pro. However, Xiaomi, originally planned to launch Snapdragon 865 in the world, has not been officially announced yet, probably because the situation is really difficult. Let's put it on early. If it is out of stock, it is called PPT mobile phone. If it is released late, you will be hit in the face again.

However, in fact, the information about Xiaomi 10 has long been exploded. The main camera of Xiaomi 10 Pro is10.8 million pixels, which supports o is optical image stabilization and consists of four vertically arranged cameras.

Not only that, this time Xiaomi 10 directly pushed 108 million pixels to 256 million. Earlier, a digital blogger broke the news in Weibo that Xiaomi 10 will have a new ultra-clear shooting function of 256 million pixels, with coded screenshots.

The numbers are amazing, but they are obviously synthesized by algorithms. This kind of play is not uncommon. What matters is the actual effect and experience.

Lei Jun, who has always shown great ambition in taking pictures, sent Xiaomi 10 Pro to test DxOMark again this time, and has already started the "slaughter list" prompt crazily. I don't know if it will be published like last time. Let's have a look.

Huawei P40: Super Vision Sensor

According to the usual practice, this time Huawei P40 series was opened in Paris in March. There is no doubt that this new machine is the real king of the mobile phone market in the first half of this year, depending on how Huawei surpasses itself.

Taking photos is still the primary focus of Huawei P40 series, and Sony's exclusive customized sensors will also be greatly updated. Huawei has previously registered the trademark of Ultra Vision sensor, which is probably the 52-megapixel main camera of Huawei P40 Pro, namely Sony IMX700 sensor.

This CMOS is an upgraded version of Sony IMX600. It is still arranged in RYYB pixels and supports 16+ 1 technology. Of course, the biggest upgrade is11.3 inch outsole. There is also a biprism periscope lens that supports 10 times optical zoom. This should be the strongest periscope telephoto at present. If the rumor is true, then Yu Chengdong is "stable" again this time.

Huawei P40 will have the same dual-camera mode as Mate 30 before, that is, it will have a focal plane, five rear cameras and two front cameras. The total number of cameras will reach seven. I really hesitate to see the appearance of Huawei P40.

OPPO Find X2: all-pixel omnidirectional focusing

After a year and a half, OPPO finally has to update the real flagship Find series. Find X2, which will be released in the first quarter of this year, is also worth looking forward to, and it is likely to achieve a counterattack.

What is certain is that OPPO Find X2 will be equipped with Sony's customized sensor, and the first all-pixel omnidirectional PDAF technology will be introduced, which greatly improves the focusing performance.

This technology adopts a brand-new pixel lens structure, which improves the phase detection performance in the vertical direction, thus further improving the speed of phase focusing and improving the sensitivity in low light environment. This is actually the 2×2O on-chip lens technology recently announced by Sony.

Compared with the existing method of adding a lens to each pixel, the 2×2O on-chip lens allows four adjacent pixels to use a large lens, and the imaging pixels can also be used for focus detection, which improves the accuracy and sensitivity. In addition, the existing mobile phone phase focusing mostly relies on horizontal pixel separation for detection, and the 2×2 on-chip lens also adds vertical detection, which is enough to cope with more complex focusing scenes.

Presumably when this technology is released, it will be written as a black technology of OPPO.

In addition, OPPO Find X2 may also have new surprises in appearance. The back three-camera and LED flash adopt a special arc arrangement, which is called the moon phase design, and it really has a refreshing feeling. I just hope that the gap between the buyer show and the seller show is not too big.
