Mi 10 Pro: “100-megapixel” camera! Is it really better than Huawei Leica lens?

The Xiaomi Mi 10 series came with “100 million pixels” as expected. I remember that more than three months ago, Xiaomi launched a water-testing product, the Xiaomi CC9 Pro, which was also the first model to mass-produce a 100-megapixel camera. It scored 121 points in the DxOMark camera evaluation, which was tied for the first place in the world with Huawei Mate 30 Pro.

It’s like getting first place every time in an exam, but as a result, a so-called “underachiever” is tied for first place with himself. This kind of thing is unacceptable to anyone! Later, Huawei may have seen that Xiaomi has gradually caught up with itself, so it sent the Huawei Mate 30 Pro to the test again, euphemistically called “retest”, but this time the test is the 5G version.

Sure enough, the organization DxOMark is also a very chicken thief, scoring 123 points for Huawei Mate 30 Pro 5G, which is two points higher than CC9 Pro. The new Xiaomi Mi 10 released this time, the high-end version of the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro officially topped the DxOMark list with a score of 124 points, realizing Lei Jun’s vision that “Xiaomi mobile phone cameras will overwhelm Huawei”.

Although the rating of Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro surpassed that of Huawei Mate 30 Pro 5G this time, it still leaves many questions for many people. Is the “100-megapixel” camera on this phone better than Huawei’s Leica lens? For this question, I believe that many people focus on the word “Leica”.

We often see the “LEICA” LOGO on Huawei Mate series and P series products, and this feature started from Huawei P9, which means it has a history of 4 years, but the lens used by Huawei is only “Leica certified” “Instead of being produced by Leica, there may be many people who think that Huawei’s mobile phone lenses are produced by Leica!

As for why Huawei is equipped with Leica-certified lenses, this is similar to the “Porsche Design” used by Huawei. Porsche Design is not a Porsche car. PORSCHE” is a company that designs auto parts for cars.

Huawei uses “Porsche Design” to confuse the concept, making consumers mistakenly think that it is a joint model of Porsche cars, which looks very high-end. The same is true for this Leica certification. We know that Leica cameras in the past were very expensive, often costing tens of thousands of dollars. Huawei’s use of Leica-certified lenses is undoubtedly a gold medal for the product, just like a mobile phone designed by Porsche.

Therefore, when we understand Huawei’s “Leica lens”, there is no need to over-understand how much this lens is related to Leica. In fact, it is the same as the Leica-certified lens used by Panasonic cameras. In theory, the Leica team has cooperated with the Huawei camera team. , As for the sensor provided by Sony, software optimization is also the result of the strength of the team.

Let’s take a look at Xiaomi again. Maybe the brand advantage of the Leica-certified lens equipped by Huawei will be better than that of the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro, but this is only in terms of lenses, not to mention that it is not necessarily good, because the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro is equipped with an 8P lens, which can Greatly increase the amount of light condensing. As I said above, this is just a competition of lenses, that is, a competition of convex lenses.

Also affecting the overall imaging results are sensor and software optimizations. The main camera sensor equipped with the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro is the highest in history, with a 108-megapixel, 1/1.33-inch image sensor, an equivalent focal length of 25mm, an f/1.69 aperture lens, and a lot of optical image stabilization.

In contrast, Huawei Mate 30 Pro 5G has no advantage. The main camera is 40 million pixels, 1/1.7-inch image sensor, f/1.6 aperture lens, equivalent focal length of 27 mm, and optical image stabilization. From the perspective of the entire parameter, Xiaomi’s “100-megapixel” camera does surpass the main camera of Huawei Mate 30 Pro 5G.

On other cameras, we can also briefly understand that Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro is also equipped with a 12-megapixel, 1/2.6-inch image sensor, a 50mm equivalent focal length, a portrait lens with f/2 aperture; 8-megapixel, 1/4.4 20-megapixel, 1/2.8-inch image sensor, 16mm-equivalent focal length, f/2.2 aperture ultra-wide-angle lens.

Huawei Mate 30 Pro 5G is equipped with a 40-megapixel 1/1.54-inch sensor, f/1.8 lens, and an ultra-wide-angle cine lens with an equivalent focal length of 18 mm; an 8-megapixel, 1/4-inch sensor, f/2.4 lens, equivalent 80mm focal length, telephoto lens that supports optical image stabilization; ToF 3D depth-sensing camera.

Huawei’s ultra-wide-angle movie lens may have more advantages in terms of parameters, but with its powerful 100-megapixel capability, the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro scored 104 points in DxOMark for video, surpassing the Huawei Mate 30 Pro 5G. As for zoom, the former supports up to 50x digital zoom, the latter 30x.

It is worth mentioning that the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro also has a 50mm-equivalent, 1200-pixel portrait lens. I personally prefer this camera combination of the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro. I think it is better than the rear quad camera of the Huawei Mate 30 Pro 5G. more practical. What do you think about this? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area and tell us your opinion!
