After the trend of full screen last year, domestic manufacturers have made great efforts in photographing this year, and all their models have been sent to DxOMark for scoring. In addition to Huawei's P20 series, Xiaomi 8, the watchman model of Xiaomi, scored a comprehensive 99 points, and Yijia's new flagship, 1-plus 6, also scored a high 96 points, of which 105 points and 100 points were scored for photos. Of course, the score of DxOMark can only be used as a reference. Which is better in real life for these two popular models?
Hardware parameters
The combination of hardware configurations of Xiaomi 8 and One Plus 6 is different. Xiaomi 8 uses the same 12 million+12 million configuration as the MIX 2S. One Plus 6 is 16 million+20 million. The number of pixels is higher than Xiaomi 8, but the unit pixel area is smaller. In terms of aperture, the double f/1.7 of one plus six has a slight advantage, while that of Xiaomi 8 is f/1.8+f/2.4. In general, the hardware of Xiaomi 8 is more advantageous, with larger unit pixel area, better combination with telephoto sub camera and focusing.
Photo experience
Whether it is hydrogen OS or oxygen OS, the photographing part of OnePlus 6 is completely the same, which should be familiar to regular users of OnePlus, and there is no change on the whole. No matter in the day or at night, shooting is fast and imaging is fast enough. The 2x zoom is achieved through the main camera digital cutting, and supports up to 8x digital zoom.
The camera interface of Xiaomi 8 is more "traditional" Xiaomi family Facebook, from MIX 2S to Hongmi family. The shooting and focusing speed are satisfactory, but the imaging speed is significantly slower than Xiaomi's previous machines. This has appeared in various Xiaomi models this year, which may be related to Xiaomi's new algorithm, but the overall experience is not bad. Different from one plus six, the 2x zoom of Xiaomi 8 is achieved by switching the sub camera, and also supports up to 8x digital zoom.
Double light variation
Since the popularization of double photography last year, double light variation has always been the focus of manufacturers' propaganda, but its application in practice is limited. The use of double light variation effect in weak light and light scenes may not be as good as direct photography for amplification. In this year, has the manufacturer made any progress in this respect? Or is it just the same as the original function of adding another telescope?
P. S. The following samples do not describe special cases. By default, the left side is double, the right side is single, and the same scene is magnified to the same magnification.

In the case of sufficient light, whether it is one plus 6 or Xiaomi 8, the twice light variable sample is better than the normal shooting in detail, and Xiaomi 8 is particularly improved. In addition to the focus center, the details of the trees behind can be said to be much better than one plus 6. However, the twice light change of Xiaomi 8 is similar to that of the previous model, and the difference between white balance and normal shooting time is slightly larger.

In the ultra long distance shooting, the noise control and details of Xiaomi 8 are much better than those of one plus six. In this case, the difference between double light change and direct amplification in normal shooting is small. Xiaomi 8 is slightly better here.

In the night scene, Xiaomi 8 in this group of samples did not switch to the sub camera to achieve zoom, so it was a contest between the main camera. It can be seen that whether it was Xiaomi 8 or one plus six, there was basically no obvious improvement under the double light change, and it would be slightly better if it was magnified to the extreme.

When switching to the low light environment, the double light change of Xiaomi 8 directly shows a backward situation. The details and noise are far inferior to the normal shooting, and the direct amplification. One plus six has a stable play. The double light change improves the brightness of the picture, and the painting is also quite clean. Although the details are not dominant, the overall appearance is the best.
In general, thanks to the long focus sub camera, Xiaomi 8 can boldly use the double zoom to obtain more excellent proofs when the light is sufficient. Just pay attention to the unstable white balance problem. The common night scenes also have acceptable performance, but in weak light environment, there will be a reverse situation, so it should be used carefully; Although one plus six may not have a huge improvement after double zooming, its performance in various scenes is very stable, and its usability is higher than that of Xiaomi 8. Vigorous sharpening and contrast enhancement bring a good impression.

In the case of sufficient light, both of the proofs performed well. Just like the yellowing of the base color mentioned in the previous evaluation of Xiaomi 8, the overall color of the proofs of Xiaomi 8 was warmer, and the white balance of one plus six was more accurate. While the current algorithm of one plus six has increased the intensity of sharpening, its analytical power in shooting general landscape photos has not opened the gap with the 12 million Xiaomi8.

When switching to the case with words, the sharpening effect of one plus six has brought a significant improvement, and it has an advantage over Xiaomi 8 in discrimination. The level of noise control and white balance is similar.

It is worth mentioning that in the case of good light, the edge image quality of the one plus six sample is slightly better than that of Xiaomi 8, which is one of the advantages of one plus six over Xiaomi 8 in daytime scenes.

Compared with the previous generation, OnePlus 6 has added optical anti shake, which has been greatly improved at night. Xiaomi 8, which has a larger unit pixel area, is no inferior. Sharpening and noise reduction at night have been greatly improved. Compared with Xiaomi 8, the details are not bad, but the overall metering is darker. Even though Xiaomi 8 itself tends to be warmer, it is slightly better than one plus six in the white balance at night.

In the weak light environment, the advantages of Xiaomi 8 in hardware are reflected. The overall brightness of the picture is higher and the details are slightly better; One plus six obviously appears to be green. Fortunately, the contribution of multi frame synthesis and noise reduction algorithm is greatly improved compared with the previous generation.

In the case of extremely weak light, one plus six still has the overall green color and insufficient exposure, but the noise control is much better than that of Xiaomi 8, and through the algorithm's blessing, even though it is not as good as Xiaomi 8's main camera parameters, it has similar details, which is somewhat surprising; In the case of Xiaomi 8 with more advantageous hardware parameters, it is expected that the image brightness will be higher and the details will be retained more, but the noise control is really a bit unsatisfactory, which is a bit similar to the situation of reversing in the environment where the double light turns to weak light. This is the part of Xiaomi 8 that needs to be strengthened urgently now.
summary
As the domestic flagship models of this year, Xiaomi 8 and One Plus 6 have reached a new height in photography. They have improved their hardware and added the One Plus 6 with optical anti shake, which is much more than the previous generation; Although Xiaomi has brought us different performances in the MIX 2S, the progress of the later released Xiaomi 8 is really small compared with the MIX 2S. The two machines play a good role in most scenarios of daily use, and can meet most of users' needs. To summarize the differences between the two machines:
1. The double light change of Xiaomi 8 can have a good lifting effect under sufficient light, but the problem of white balance drift still exists, and it should be used carefully at night; One plus six is relatively stable, although there will be no major improvement, there will be no reverse;
2. In the case of sufficient light, the one plus six high pixel is not dominant, and its discrimination is not far from that of the 12 million Xiaomi8. However, the edge image quality has advantages, and thanks to the powerful sharpening effect, the details of scenes with words have been significantly improved;
3. The larger unit pixel area makes Xiaomi 8 perform better at night, but the noise control is poor under extremely weak light, so it is better than one plus six; One plus six shows slightly poor white balance at night, and there is insufficient exposure;
4. The base color of Xiaomi 8 is yellow, and all the samples are warm to varying degrees; The white balance of one plus six days is relatively better, but there will be serious green bias under weak light and extremely weak light.
