resolution and dynamic range are two important standards for mobile photography technology. At this stage, the industry's best performer in this regard is Qualcomm Snapdragon, especially Snapdragon 8gen1 and Snapdragon 8+gen1. The most powerful core of Android, it is the first to combine ultra-high-resolution 8K video with HDR high dynamic range, allowing users to unleash their creative inspiration with more professional mobile imaging functions.
Allowing mobile phones to support 8K video is not a new technology for Qualcomm . As early as three or four years ago, the Snapdragon 855 flagship chip already supported 8K video transmission. Half a year later, the Snapdragon 855 Plus supported and was built by Nubia With the launch of the world's first smartphone Nubia Z20 that supports 8K video recording, it can be said that Qualcomm is the founder of introducing 8K video technology to the mobile terminal. Perhaps 8K video was too advanced at that time, so the Nubia Z20 did not make too much splash in the 4K world. Moreover, Qualcomm has always been relatively low-key in promoting new technologies, so the Snapdragon 855 series supports 8K video transmission and shooting, which is a great technical advantage, and has not attracted much attention from the market and consumers.
However, starting from the next generation of Snapdragon 855 and Snapdragon 865, 8K video has become a very valuable label for Snapdragon flagship chips. While other chip manufacturers are gearing up for 4K video, Qualcomm Snapdragon's 8K video technology is already quite mature and has begun to be widely used in practice. Not only Nubia, but also , Xiaomi, , OnePlus, vivo and other manufacturers have also discovered the huge value of 8K video for mobile photography, and have Among the many innovative features of its flagship, there is also an eye-catching “supports 8K video shooting”. That is to say, starting from Snapdragon 865, Qualcomm officially cooperated with " China National Geographic " to start a romantic journey of 8K high definition and natural ecology, using the power of technology to convey the power of life.
Professional photographers from National Geographic went deep into the mountains and rivers of the motherland and shot a series of high-definition video clips of Chinese wildlife. Golden monkey, Red-crowned crane, giant panda, Tibetan fox and other wild animals are cute and charming. People are excited. The key technologies that support all of this are Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 and Snapdragon 888 mobile platforms. It is their emergence that makes 8K video shooting possible on mobile phones. Photographers do not need to carry heavy camera equipment to travel through mountains and rivers, professional A world-class photography experience at the palm of your hand.
After more than three years of development, Snapdragon 8K video technology has been able to be freely retracted and retracted. On the new generation of Snapdragon 8gen1, Qualcomm has given HDR high dynamic range to 8K video, using 8K ultra-clear to display fine details. , High Dynamic HDR can effectively control the exposure, suppress the strong light part, and enhance the low light part, thereby generating perfect videos and photos with reasonable light and dark contrast and rich and orderly layers.
Under the leadership of Qualcomm, 8K video shooting has gradually become the mainstream of mobile imaging. Many flagship mobile phones with imaging functions focus on 8K, such as Xiaomi 12, Xiaomi 12S, Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 folding screen mobile phone, etc. All support 8K HDR video shooting, allowing 8K video technology to be better promoted and popularized. It is reported that Apple will also support 8K video recording in its new generation product iPhone 14 series. This is Apple’s first transition from 4K to 8K, which is believed to bring clearer imaging effects.
Whether it is Qualcomm or Apple, sooner or later they are moving forward on the road of 8K video. 8K at your fingertips is not only a bold change in the field of mobile imaging, but also a scientific exploration of great significance. 8K leads the professional Or non-professionals, have an in-depth experience of the ultimate imaging art and let their ideals shine into real life.
