Historically, the camera upgrade of iPhone 13 Pro Max has been very sincere, but is its photo upgrade worthy of the huge camera module? This time, we find the strongest photography flagship of Android/Hongmeng camp, vivo X70 Pro+, Huawei P50 Pro and Xiaomi 11 Ultra, for comparison.
We have compared the photos taken by several iPhones before in "The Comparison of Photos taken by iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 13/13 mini, and 12 Pro Max in the Process of Polishing and Accumulating". The conclusion is that the photo taking improvement of iPhone 13 Pro Max is not obvious, and stronger specifications are used to improve the photo taking experience/capture ability/video performance. Now let's see the comparison between it and other flagship.
PS: To exclude variables (Have a good look) , put an endless 70 sets of samples, and put the conclusions at the end of the article.
Parameter repeater
The iPhone 13 Pro Max has a new 1.9 μ m sensor+F1.5 lens. The ultra wide angle has a faster CMOS and exaggerated F1.8 lens. The long focus has been changed to three times (but the aperture has been reduced). 1200W IMX703, 1.9 μ m, F1.5+sensor displacement OIS (light input increased by 2.2 times); Ultra wide angle IMX7721200W, F1.8 (light input increased by 92%); Triple telephoto IMX7131200W, F2.8+OIS;
Vivo X70 Pro+main camera is 5000W, 1/1.31 '' GN1, 1.2 μ m, F1.57+OIS; micro PTZ IMX598 ultra wide angle, 4800W, 0.8 μ m, F2.2; 2x portrait IMX6631200W, 1.22 μ m, F1.6+OIS; 800W 5x periscope telephoto, OV08A10，1.0μm，F3.4+OIS；
Huawei P50 Pro's main camera is 5000W, about 1/1.56 '', 1 μ m, F1.8+OIS (like Mate 40 series, it is cut to equivalent 27mm output, and 23mm is 0.8x zoom); 13mm ultra wide angle 1300W, 1.12 μ m, F2.2; 6400W 3.5 times periscope telephoto, 0.7 μ m, 90mm, F3.5+OIS; 4000W black and white lens, 1 μ m, 26mm, F1.6;
Xiaomi 11 Ultra's main camera is 5000W, 1/1.12 '' GN2, 1.4 μ m, F1.95+OIS; super wide-angle 128 degree IMX5864800W, 0.8 μ m, F2.2; 5 times periscope IMX586, F4.1+OIS.
The strongest specification is still Xiaomi 11 Ultra. There are few competitors in the main camera and telephoto specifications. The vivo X70 Pro+is strong in the balanced ultra wide angle+main camera+2x telephoto. Huawei P50 Pro is strong at the long focus end, ranging from 3.5 times to 10 times. Although the iPhone 13 Pro Max has made significant progress, its hardware specifications in the Android camp can only rank at the mid tier level. However, the algorithms of each family are very different, and the strong and weak still have to use proof.
PS：
iPhone 13 Pro Max、vivo X70 Pro+、 The samples of Huawei P50 Pro have been converted to sRGB color gamut;
Huawei P50 Pro is an EOTF function with P3 color gamut, while iPhone and vivo use Display P3 color gamut. Some users may feel that the effect on Windows PCs is not as beautiful as on mobile phones, which may be because they forgot to do color conversion;
To avoid the impact of the bottom layer of Android 12, the Xiaomi 11 Ultra test machine chooses the development version 12.9.1;
The focus of all proofs is in the middle, fully automatic mode.
Everyone knows that the iPhone viewfinder is strong, but many people do not know that the HDR effect of Xiaomi 11 Ultra main camera is better than vivo, even better than their own films.
IPhone can adjust the default hue and saturation, and the green knot is ↑
Cold knowledge:
The jpg photos of the iPhone 13 series eat more space than the previous generation, growing from about 3MB to about 5MB, catching up with normal Android phones;
Many flagship brands, including the iPhone, only the front ones will have multiple frames when taking continuous shots of their ultra wide angle and telephoto, so we should cherish the previous several full blood shutter when taking continuous shots;
On October 19, Apple iOS 15.1 added the automatic macro switch. vivo optimized the color saturation of the wide-angle camera and the definition of some scenes (personal psychological activity:! @ # $@ # ^% ^ $%). This test sample is for reference only.

"3x zoom" contrast
When "3x zoom", Huawei P50 Pro (3.5x telephoto) is stuck in the main digital zoom range, which is really tragic. The Xiaomi 11 Ultra just entered the range of "fusion of 5x long focus imaging" (3 to 5x magnification) and escaped a disaster. Vivo is digitally zoomed by 2x long focus.

summary
3x zoom, ranking from strong to weak:
At this time, Xiaomi 11 Ultra just triggers the long focal fusion imaging, and the central area is actually a work with 5 times of the long focal length;
The "3x zoom" scene is the home court of the iPhone 13 Pro Max, but Xiaomi has to lose when he hangs up;
The vivo X70 Pro+is digitally magnified by 2x telephoto, but at least it is the strongest 2x telephoto;
The Huawei P50 Pro, which suffered the most, was stuck in the main digital cutting section, and was disconnected during the whole process.
With 5x zoom, the ranking of strengths and weaknesses is also clear:
Xiaomi 11 Ultra is an authentic home court, which means light metering and white balance are easy to float;
This is also a suitable focal section for Huawei P50 Pro;
The 5x telephoto of the vivo X70 Pro+is the weakest link of its own and can only slightly beat the iPhone;
The telephoto of iPhone 13 Pro Max sacrifices night performance for daytime, and the algorithm has defects. In the same dark scene, sometimes 3x magnification can trigger the telephoto, but 5x magnification will cause the main camera to cut and then roll over
Ultra wide angle, strong to weak:
The strongest vivo X70 Pro+does not differ from other machines. The main reason is that the strong smear+sharpening algorithm has worn away the discrimination force, and the white balance is not accurate enough;
Instead, Huawei uses the immortal algorithm to make an ordinary 1.12 μ m ultra wide angle play very well;
Xiaomi's ultra wide-angle vision is larger than that of iPhone. In addition to the difference in algorithm, the "smart IMX586" is not a false name;
The large aperture and super wide angle of the iPhone 13 Pro Max, even if there is Apple algorithm, can't improve.
The macro of the four mobile phones are shot by ultra wide angle lens. The only thing to note is that Xiaomi 11 Ultra, which is at the bottom of the experience, needs to be opened manually (perhaps the official also knows that the performance of macro is weak), and will not do digital cutting. The ultra wide angle vision has no taste of macro, and its nearest focusing distance is too large.
Main camera The top two are between vivo X70 Pro+and Huawei P50 Pro, which depends on personal choice:
vivo X70 Pro+ He is a "friend circle master". His photo perception is far better than that seen by the naked eye. His photo experience is good. His capturing ability is second only to that of the iPhone. The whole film is colorful, with high saturation and contrast. HDR has rich dark details, which is second only to Huawei's highlight suppression. The lighting scene is extremely eye-catching. The disadvantage is that the white balance doesn't intend to run with the reality at all. It is hard to smear, with fleshy details and a sense of monosodium glutamate;
Huawei P50 Pro It has the unique HDR highlight suppression, good experience of main photography (although the experience of secondary photography is countdown), stable white balance, rich picture details (although sometimes AI details), and few weaknesses can be found except for weak capture ability;
The main photography of Xiaomi 11 Ultra and iPhone 13 Pro Max is also inextricably linked, which depends on personal preferences:
Xiaomi 11 Ultra The main picture is natural and rich in details, which is the lightest algorithm trace among several sets. When HDR is triggered, the highlight suppression is not as good as Huawei/vivo, but it can overturn the iPhone. However, the trigger is not active enough and is often overwhelmed by the iPhone. The weakness is the relatively elegant white balance and weak capture ability. Any effort from the algorithm team should be GN2 seconds day by day;
iPhone 13 Pro Max He is a master of capturing and has the best photo taking experience of the year. With all-weather machine gun shutter, the white balance is extremely stable. Now there are more sharpening algorithms and a slightly higher contrast than usual, but when placed next to the Android/Hongmeng flagship, it is very elegant. He is still loyal to reality. The appearance is not pleasing enough, and the dark and weak light noise are generally controlled.
