Shooting comparison of leapfrogging against Huawei A199 vs Xiaomi 2A
Shooting comparison of leapfrogging against Huawei A199 vs Xiaomi 2A

Huawei recently released the Maimang A199, which has a price close to the 16GB version of the Xiaomi 2S. Many people on the Internet also like to compare the two phones. Since you like comparison so much, I will follow the trend and write a sample comparison between Huawei A199 and Xiaomi 2A.

 

Note: Huawei A199 has no metering mode adjustment, only one matrix metering. Therefore, Xiaobian also adjusted the shooting metering mode of Xiaomi 2A to matrix metering.

For all comparison samples, click on the picture to see the larger picture.

 

Daytime proof

You can identify which mobile phone took the sample according to the EXIF at the bottom right of the picture. During the shooting process, the editor did not adjust any shooting mode and white balance, and the focus is the same. Please pay attention to civilized language.

 

The weather on the day when Xiao Bian filmed was gloomy. The weather shown by Xiaomi 2A was normal, while the sky shown by Huawei A199 was always blue

 

The focus of this picture is on the gray wall of the house, and the sample picture is like this. Huawei's matrix photometry is very powerful. Whether focusing on the house or the sky, the samples are almost the same. Although Xiaomi 2A has adjusted the matrix metering, it can still adjust the picture exposure by setting different focus points. Therefore, Xiaomi 2A is flexible in light measurement.

 

For more sample comparisons, please have a look.

 

 

 

HDR

For the same scene, every two pictures are a group for comparison. One is HDR comparison without being enabled, and the other is HDR comparison with being enabled.

Macro

The aperture of the A199 is 2.4, and the aperture of the Xiaomi 2A is 2.0. Therefore, when shooting macro, the depth of field of the Xiaomi 2A is much shallower than that of the Huawei A199. If you want to know the influence of aperture on the depth of field, you can write it before editing《 Science popularization: influence of aperture size on depth of field 》Take a look inside.

 

As for color, I really don't want to complain about the white balance of Android phones. If I move the camera a little, the white balance will be seriously off. And the white balance of these two mobile phones is not very accurate. You don't need to tangle too much. After all, it is a mobile phone. If you ask too much, it will be much better to buy an SLR or a thousand yuan card machine than a mobile phone.

 

However, Huawei A199 has strong macro shooting ability, and the shooting distance can be controlled very close.

 

 

The above three samples are all the latest macro shots taken by Huawei A199. They are all original images that have been scaled down and uploaded, without magnification or cutting, and without digital zoom. This distance, Xiaomi 2A, cannot be photographed.

 

Nightscape

In terms of night scene shooting, Xiaomi 2A doesn't have any so-called night scene mode (upgraded to the latest development version, it has this function, but this function is actually not easy to use, and I will talk about it later). The Huawei A199 has a "low light" mode, so the demo of Huawei's low light mode will be released separately.

First, let's try to limit ISO to 100 to see the effect. Hmm... A199 will not extend the exposure time because of ISO. The test is over.

Why did the editor try to limit ISO to 100 to shoot night scenes? The editor doesn't want to explain any more. Readers who have read the previous evaluation of the editor should know that if they haven't, they can go to《 Xiaomi 2A shooting evaluation and night scene shooting skills sharing 》Take a look at the night view evaluation section in.

 

This is to enable automatic ISO shooting.

 

Automatic ISO and HDR shooting of the night scene samples. Why do you want to shoot like this can also be seen in the above article. Go and see it. I won't say any more.

 

This is a sample shot with the low light mode of Huawei A199 turned on. We can see that the ISO has been improved, and the brightness of the picture has been slightly brighter.

 

Continue to use those three methods to shoot night scenes for comparison, and limit the ISO 100 samples.

 

Automatic ISO.

 

Then auto ISO and turn on HDR effect. Don't forget to click on the picture to see the big picture. You can see the details of the big picture.

 

A199 Low light mode to take samples.

 

In the following two aerial city scenes, Xiao Bian was standing behind a wall taller than a person. Because he could not hold it, he used a mobile phone tripod. The night scenes above are all taken by hand.

Well, Huawei A199 will not extend the exposure time even if it limits the low ISO. Then you will say that it is unfair for the small editor to issue the sample with the ISO limit of 100 again. Then the small editor will not issue the sample with the low ISO. This is the sample with the automatic ISO.

 

This is a sample of automatic ISO and HDR effect.

In fact, when you see these samples, you can also see who is good and who is not. Perhaps you can also understand why there are no pictures of night scenes in the so-called "shooting evaluation" by those people. I don't need to say much about the night scene.

 

summary

In the daytime, the matrix metering effect of A199 is good. As for color restoration, if millet is warm, A199 is cold. But fortunately, the proof is not bad, and many people should like that color. The wide angle effect of Xiaomi 2A is good, and the scenery is quite grand. HDR effect is better for Xiaomi 2A. The color is full and pleasing to the eye. In terms of macro distance, Huawei A199 has strong macro distance ability, and can shoot macro distance at a very close distance. However, Xiaomi 2A has a large aperture, which is superior to A199 in terms of shallow depth of field and easy to highlight the main body. As for the night view, Xiaomi 2A's large aperture and high ISO give it an overwhelming advantage in the comparison between the two. Moreover, A199 does not support slow shutter speed. If it does, it may save face.
