In 2015, iPhone camera pixels increased from 8 million to 12 million (iPhone 6s/6s Plus). Samsung, on the other hand, reduced the number of pixels from 16 million to 12 million in 2016 (S7/S7 edge). The two strongest manufacturers in the market have unified the route of "low pixel total, large unit pixel". However, including the author, some players believe that Samsung's efforts to reduce pixels for the sake of extreme low light performance are not worth the loss, but all of this was later drowned in the exclamation of S7 night shooting performance.
The last generation of Samsung's flagship Galaxy Note5 with 16 million pixels is almost 3 years old. How much improvement can the new flagship take compared with the old one? Today, we will pull up Note5 and LG V20 to make a simple comparison with iPhone X and Note8 (before S9/S9+is available, Note8 will hold it first).
The Note5 sensor we tested here is IMX240, and the Note8 sensor is Exynos+S5K2L2. The focus of the lower sample is in the middle, automatic HDR, if Love to play computer games Browse the PC version official website, click the picture to view the large picture.
In order to facilitate browsing, this time we will use the method of summary in advance:
Although the opponent was the flagship two or three years ago, the new flagship did not take too much advantage. There are two reasons. First, the old flagship "Optical Anti shake Small Pixel Scheme" is already very mature. Pixel advantages lie there, even if the weak light does not lose too much. On the other hand, it also reflects that the camera of the new flagship met with a bottleneck when it was found, and entered the historical stage of toothpaste squeezing. It can only find a breakthrough in additional functions such as HDR, sub photography, slow motion photography (S9/S9+).
Photo experience: LG Home has been experiencing significantly lower than the industry level because of the camera's focusing logic, shooting smoothness, shutter response and other issues. Although the weak light imaging speed has been significantly improved in the updated system The overall photo taking experience of V20 is far from that of other flagship ships Samsung has completed the pursuit of Apple's photography experience as early as the S6/S6 edge era, Note 5 Even today, the camera experience is not good. In recent years, it has become the flagship of Samsung's Snapdragon Edition, and has experienced some setbacks in photography experience;
metering: Only the old flagship Note5 has obvious overexposure tendency after triggering HDR outdoors in the daytime, and other machines have no major problems;
White balance saturation: Note 5's yellow/red/warm white balance and hair color tendency are similar to those of Note 8 (the amplitude is not large, which can be more interpreted as the adjustment tendency). V20 proof is relatively light and elegant, white balance tends to be blue and cold, and the accuracy is much better than before.
HDR and contrast: new IPhone's HDR algorithm has made significant progress , highlight details are largely abandoned by Samsung and LG, while HDR tolerance of Note8 is not significantly improved compared with that of Note5 The two old flagship are 1.12 μ m unit pixels, The color saturation and image contrast in extremely weak light will decrease significantly, which is the biggest gap between Note5 and V20 and the new flagship (The V20 extremely weak light proof is white, while the Note5 is red).
Discrimination: Everyone thinks that it is the daytime outdoor scene of the old flagship home stadium with high pixels. Note 5 has only a slight advantage in discrimination, while V20 is pasted in large random texture patterns such as leaves because of smearing. Although there are more picture details The contour discrimination can not be separated from the new flagship with 12 million pixels 。 The advantage of the old flagship is more obvious in the lighting scene ， Note 5 can even extend the advantage of discrimination to low light scenes, which is unexpected. However, the new flagship has a sub camera, which has an optical anti shake sub camera in the daytime and lighting scenes, and the discrimination is at the level of torture.
Noise reduction: Note8 won without suspense, while the noise reduction of iPhone X cannot be separated from Note5, V20 is still at the bottom with weak advantages.

PS： The sample note is wrong. The sensor model of our Note8 is S5K2L2, and there is no L2K2 sensor on the earth
