Speaking of the image flagship that has attracted the most attention from photography bloggers and photography circles this year, it is definitely the Xiaomi 12S Ultra. Not only photography clubs, but digital bloggers like to use it to create content. Even many ordinary users fell in love with photography after getting the 12S Ultra.
Since I usually like mobile photography, I bought a top-end Xiaomi 12S Ultra as the main machine not long after the first release. It has been two months since I used it, so today I will bring an evaluation of the casual shot of Xiaomi 12SU images.
Image hardware: reach the new peak
Every time you mention mobile photography, there will be many people who don’t understand the principles, and come out to mention: the theory of hardware uselessness. In fact, this is absolutely wrong. Compared with the imaging quality of the large-sole sensor, the small-sole sensor can be said to be instantly sold out.
Especially in night scenes, the details of low-brightness scenes, even if the algorithm of the small bottom sensor is good, it cannot make up for the gap between them. In the words of the photography circle, it is a very simple principle: a big bottom is a very large one and a crushing person. The most surprising thing about Xiaomi 12SU this time is the customized super large bottom main camera: IMX989.
This is also the first mobile phone to use a one-inch large-sole sensor with full frame. The ultra-large bottom sensor brings more light inlet to the phone, and it has a greater advantage in taking photos in low brightness scenes. It has low noise, high brightness, and only a short shutter is needed to release the film.
In addition to the main camera, the ultra-wide-angle and telephoto lens are both 50-megapixel IMX586 sensors. In addition, in order to further improve the effect of taking pictures, this time, 8P Leica professional optical lens was used, with the reflectivity of as low as 0.2%, and the light transmittance of reached 93%.
Leica+Xiaomi In-depth cooperation tone fixing
Speaking of the gap between mobile phone photography and professional cameras, in addition to the hardware gap in sensors, there is another gap in tone and film style. In order to make ordinary users think that the photos look good, mobile phone manufacturers usually increase the saturation of the photos. Taking night scenes will brighten the dark parts wildly and shoot at night into "daytime".
However, the camera will not be like this. It will follow the actual situation, the darkness should be bright. This time, Xiaomi 12SU chose to jointly train with Leica, which is to bring a Leica-style high-end tone to mobile phone images. The factory default is Leica's classic mode, and the color performance and the texture of the picture are closer to the camera.
Night scene photo, it is bright when it should be bright, and it is dark when it should be dark. Show the charm of the night view completely. If you want the dark details and brightness, you can find that the photos are extremely detailed. This is the confidence of Xiaomi 12S Ultra's main camera, which also takes a step forward in the night view photos.
Of course, not everyone may like the camera-oriented photo style. This part of users can choose: Leica vivid mode, which is more inclined to the color effects of mobile phones on the market.
Excellent experience for instant shot
Whether it is the camera's startup speed, the camera's focus speed, or the film and shutter speed. Xiaomi 12S Ultra is the ceiling in the mobile phone circle. In the case of sufficient sunshine, even if you capture dynamic objects, you can still not shake or blur in films. And the photos can be straight out: natural colors and high-quality texture.
Summary:
After two months of testing, it can be concluded that Xiaomi 12S Ultra is undoubtedly the best imaging flagship at present. It gives mobile images a style tone that is close to the camera. Let your mobile phone photography go a step further away from the camera. After owning Xiaomi 12SU, it will definitely arouse your interest in taking photos.
