Meizu MX5, Glory 7, Nubia Z9 and One Plus 2 adopt Sony's IMX220R IMX230、IMX234， And the OV13860 (OmniVision) sensor, which basically represents the peak of domestic photography this year, but who is the strongest domestic camera?
Note: Except for the Z9 with no border, which is priced at 3500 yuan (the price has exceeded that of LG G4 of the same CMOS model), the other equipment is priced at 2000 yuan. However, Meizu's PRO5 has no retail machine, so we choose Glory 7 as the representative of IMX230.
All sample original drawings can be stamped on the right:
Photo experience
Focusing speed/success rate and imaging speed are the most influential factors in photographing experience. One plus two and The performance of Glory 7 is not far behind. They are all at a normal level. They are quite comfortable to use.
Z9 has the best photo taking experience, fast focusing, high film rate, low shutter delay, fast imaging and smooth use; and The MX5 weak light pull down bellows is relatively obvious, with a low film rate, and its imaging speed is also the slowest, with the worst photographic experience.
white balance
Usually, we seldom test the white balance, but this time the white balance of the four machines showed a relatively large deviation, so we made a special comparison.

Daytime sample sheet white balance contrast, pay attention to the ground and other gray areas. The white balance of MX5 and one plus two is relatively accurate, but both have a certain tendency of yellow and warm; The hair color of Glory 7 is slightly blue, while Nubia Z9 is obviously green and cold.

Strobe Light
When the flash light is turned on, the white balance of the four machines moves to blue. Z9 has the highest luminosity, followed by MX5 and Glory 7 (the light source is too concentrated, which can only illuminate the central part), and it is too exaggerated when added.

Summary and ranking of white balance and photometry:
Glory 7 performs relatively well, except that it is slightly cooler and bluer;
One plus two, the metering is bright, sometimes red, but the range is not large;
The MX5 has an obvious tendency of red and yellow, and is a bit erratic;
Nubia Z9 is stable and obviously green
Under weak light and extremely weak light, the brightness of one plus two pictures is still higher than that seen by the naked eye. Glory 7 metering is the most accurate, while the MX5 and Z9 are both lower than that seen by the naked eye. In addition, the availability of flash lamps of One Plus 2 and Glory 7 is very low. The former is seriously not bright enough, and the latter is too concentrated.
Discrimination/sharpness
Z9 and MX5 have the largest wide-angle range, while Glory 7 and One Plus 2 are relatively small, but the gap is not obvious.
Image size comparison. Except for 16:9 in the lower right corner, all others are 4:3. The actual pixels of the upper MX5 are 20.7 million, and the Glory 7 is 20.3 million. The 13 million pixels in the lower left corner are a large circle smaller, while the 16 million pixels in the lower right corner are a large part missing in the vertical direction.

Outdoor in daytime
Scene 1, central zoom in
Scene 2, zoom in below the center
Scene 3, central zoom in
Scene 4, central magnification (Glory 7 triggered the automatic HDR, and the picture showed obvious sharpening marks)
Z9 and one plus two performed best, and the sharpness of Z9 in scene 2 even approached LG G4;
Although one plus two has few low pixel image details, the sharpening algorithm is powerful, and it can also compete with 16 and 20 million pixel rivals, and performs well;
Glory 7 is relatively weak. Although there are many details in the picture, the sharpness is not enough and the outline of the object is blurred. After automatic HDR is triggered in the scene with large light difference, it will have strong sharpening, and the sharpness will be improved to a certain extent;
On the contrary, the MX5 with the highest actual pixel ends without dignity, and the gap is obvious. In addition, the two 20 million pixel machines have more image noise.
Indoor lighting
Scenario 1
Scenario 2
Scenario 3
Scenario 4
Under indoor lighting, the one plus two with the highest unit pixel and optical anti shake performance is the best;
The second is the Z9 with optical anti shake and the Glory 7 without optical anti shake (almost no algorithm smearing, moving noise, but retaining a lot of details);
While the MX5 continues to wrap the tail, we can see that there is obvious algorithm smearing on the sample, wiping out noise and details at the same time
Outdoor lighting
Scene 1, Dark
Scene 2, light
Scene 3, light
The performance of one plus two is still the best. The picture is rich in details, but the metering is slightly bright. In scene 2 and 3, the brands with reflective properties appear obvious overexposure, which seriously affects their sharpness performance (the performance in the dark is also normal).
Z9, which has optical anti shake and sharpening addition, takes the second place, and the light measurement is accurate. Scene 3 also has a sharpness performance close to G4;
The light metering of Glory 7 is not stable, but the exposed sample has rich details, but the over exposed sample is only a little better than the MX5;
MX5 algorithm smears negative optimization, and its performance is still at the bottom.
Extremely weak light
Z9 Comparison of samples under different photometry
The automatic mode of Z9 can easily adjust the exposure, but the cost is that the ISO index is soaring and the noise is full, so the samples below all use the default exposure.

Scenario 3
Scene 5: Turn off the lights in the tent
Scene 6: Turn off the lights in the tent
The maximum one plus two per pixel performs best in extremely weak light; The second is Glory 7; Although Nubia Z9 has optical anti shake, its performance is not as good as Glory 7, which is quite unexpected; However, the MX5 still has the tail package.
HDR
The automatic mode of Glory 7 includes HDR mode, so it cannot be tested independently here;
The HDR of the MX5 is relatively natural. Although the saturation has an obvious "jump", there are details in the light and dark of the sample, and there is no obvious ghost;
The HDR of Z9 is relatively more natural, but the contrast saturation has decreased to a certain extent.

The HDR performance of one plus two is unexpectedly poor. The effect of poor quality filter is not only unnatural, but also has serious color deviation, which can almost be described as disabled.
panorama
The panoramic shooting angle of the MX5 is close to 360 degrees, but there is some compression distortion. The sample pixels are about 32 million (13936 * 2996);
The sample generated by Glory 7 is the largest, with 58 million pixels (14336 * 4032) and shooting angle close to 200 degrees. However, its image compression distortion is the most obvious, the scene is severely flattened, and the stitching marks and photometric changes are also the most obvious among the four machines;
The shooting angle of one plus two is also about 200 degrees, and the pixels are only about 12 million (6880 * 1806);
The panoramic shot of Nubia Z9 has the smallest distortion, and the shape of the scene is the closest to the naked eye, but it has only 2.5 million pixels (3728 * 680), and the vertical resolution is less than 1000
Panorama mode fixed-point magnification
Strangely, the detail of the proof is not directly related to the number of pixels: Glory 7 has the most details. The second is the sharp one plus two. The MX5 is only a little better than the Z9.

In general, Glory 7 is to exchange the number of pixels and discrimination for the naturalness of the sample pieces. Although the details are excellent, the overall appearance is not very good; One plus two performed well; MX5 has high pixels but poor discrimination; The panoramic pixels of Z9 are too low, and the usability is very low.
summary
The photography of domestic models has not yet reached the level of ease, but the progress in the past two years is quite obvious. According to the ranking of scenarios, except for the MX5 with comprehensive package tail, the comparison of other machines is as follows:
In the daytime strong light, the strongest are Z9 and one plus two, followed by Glory 7;
In weak light scenes such as indoor and outdoor lights, the performance of One Plus 2 and Z9 is the best, followed by Glory 7;
In extremely weak light scenes, one plus two and glory seven perform better, followed by Z9.
According to the ranking of models, they are also machines with distinct advantages and disadvantages, and have their own weaknesses:
The one plus two algorithm is excellent in tuning. Although sharpening is relatively heavy, it gains higher discrimination. The image sharpness is not inferior to that of 16 million pixels and 20 million pixels. Optical anti shake+large pixel size, weak light performance is also excellent. The problem is that the metering is slightly brighter, the white balance is slightly red, and the HDR mode is disabled;
Z9 has the same optical anti shake IMX234 as the camera G4. It has excellent daytime sharpness and good performance under light, but the picture under extremely weak light is seriously degraded, the white balance is unified and green, and the panoramic mode is disabled;
Glory 7 has a balanced performance with no black spots, but there is nothing particularly strong except the extremely high panoramic mode pixels. In the daytime, the picture details are rich, but the sharpness is not high, and the performance under weak light and extremely weak light is acceptable, but the noise control is relatively general both in the daytime and at night, and the stitching trace of panoramic mode is obvious;
MX5 algorithm smearing is almost everywhere, which wastes its high pixels. It is completely defeated in the daytime and at night, and it has a clear gap with the other three machines. Here is a moment of silence for kerosene
