Most manufacturers claim to offer good 4K video performance in low light conditions. To find out for sure, we polled the main sensor of the Motorola Razr 2022, Huawei Mate 50 Pro, Oppo Find X5 Pro, Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max and Samsung Galaxy S222 Ultra. Try without compromise.
Before embarking on this video test, we unified the resolution to the now common 4K format. We chose this resolution because various manufacturers now claim to get very good results in this quality. You still have to take care of some details.
Choose uniform settings
Wherever it was clearly indicated, we chose the frame rate of 30 frames per second. We also took care of the fine adjustments. Oppo, for example, advised us to use the AI setting. On the Apple side, there’s also a specific low-light setting. In Moto, for comparison, we chose a 21/9 format, for comparison, hence the more panoramic format. An interesting mode, not always available.
We then chose a zoom factor and tried to reproduce the same frame, which sometimes required moving the smartphone back and/or getting closer to the lens, whose values are not always the same. These minor adjustments have been made, so let’s get started!
Five test movies
The five short video sequences below give us not only very useful information on the sensitivity of the various sensors, but also on the quality and power of the algorithms used to process the digital files. Apple, Oppo with its in-house chip and to some extent Huawei seem to stand out.
For the rest, I’ll let the user form his own opinion. However, one can only note the marked differences that exist between the various models, all of which are much more capable under more normal conditions. The best way to improve results is often to reduce the frame rate and resolution.
