The cameras of the latest smartphones offer a versatility we couldn’t even imagine until a few years ago. Taking high-quality close-up, medium and wide-angle photos with the camera built into the phone’s body has become almost a necessity. However, the wide range of smartphones can confuse each of us. An expert from the technology company has compiled explanatory recommendations to help you navigate the camera specification and key selection criteria.
What does the number of megapixels mean?
In recent years, smartphone cameras have reached new technological heights, offering a decent level for professional cameras. Some models have megapixels in excess of 60 MP, but what exactly does this unit mean?
“One of the most frequently asked questions before buying a phone is the number of megapixels. Megapixels are important when it comes to shooting results. If you plan to print the photos you take, the number of megapixels is very important. Printing a photo on a billboard will require more megapixels than printing on A4. In addition, more megapixels mean images can be cropped and edited to your heart’s content without compromising image quality, ”says Mikus Tillers, Huawei Product Training Manager in Latvia.
What smartphone lenses are available?
The types of lenses are also sometimes a confusing factor, as each manufacturer offers its own interpretation. Today, both wide-angle and zoom lenses, as well as classic lenses, are popular, but their performance is very different.
“Currently, wide-angle and zoom lenses are in demand. A wide-angle lens is usually useful for capturing natural and urban landscapes, as it allows more detail to be included in the image and displays visible objects in a broken perspective, giving the end result an interesting effect. “Zoom lenses are also becoming equally popular for shooting extremely distant subjects, such as the Huawei P50 Pro, which can zoom in on subjects on the screen from 0.5 to 100 times,” the expert continues.
Definitely everyone has been photographed on the move, resulting in blurred and blurred images. If photo quality is an important aspect of everyday life, then another technology to look out for is camera stabilization. It helps you capture precise, sharp shots while shooting, and uses artificial intelligence to improve blur when lighting isn’t good. This technology will be useful both when you want to capture the landscape on the road while driving, and when watching an exciting sports game.
For those who actively communicate on social networks, it is definitely worth paying attention to the functions of the front camera of the smartphone. As technology advances, smartphone manufacturers are increasingly supplementing front cameras with special modes that improve the quality of self-portraits, such as autofocus or a wide-angle lens.
One or more lenses?
One of the ways smartphone manufacturers have a great shooting experience is by combining multiple lenses in camera systems, increasing overall camera performance.
“It’s nice to be able to take your phone out of your pocket and take a picture, knowing that its quality will be great and that you won’t need any extra processing. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to what the camera system of the smartphone is – what lenses are included and what is the amplitude of the megapixels. Today, the latest smartphones already include as many as two camera systems, giving the user a wide range of shooting options. The flagship smartphone camera system already includes at least three to four lenses as standard by industry, complemented by special feature technologies such as night mode and sensors capable of recognizing the objects ahead. The main thing before buying a smartphone is to evaluate what the camera will be used for, and then there will be a clearer vision of what and how many lenses you should look for in the new device, ”adds M. Tillers.
