Since domestic mobile phones began to undergo intelligent transformation, the upgrade of imaging systems has always been a key area of technological breakthrough.
Domestic brand mobile phones, starting from chasing international brands to compete in pixel parameters, have gradually moved into the current situation. In terms of optical design, algorithm computing power, and imaging chips and other underlying fields, they have successfully built a complete set of technical barriers and have now established a clear and outstanding leading advantage in the field of mobile imaging throughout the world.
This is not just a breakthrough in a single function, but also a comprehensive performance, and it is a comprehensive performance under the deep integration of precision optics, artificial intelligence and semiconductor technology, and it is also the embodiment of China's intelligent manufacturing.
Looking back at the technological development process of domestic mobile phones in the field of imaging, optical image stabilization became the earliest breakthrough to break the homogeneity situation, and multi-focal fusion also became the earliest breakthrough to break the homogeneity situation.
Since the cooperation between Huawei and Leica ushered in the so-called "Moving Image Co-branding Era", domestic brands have begun to systematically study color science and carefully explore the optical lens structure.
Immediately afterwards, OPPO, vivo and other brands have successively devoted themselves to the work of self-developed imaging-specific NPU chips. Vivo's V series chips and OPPO's Mariana project use independent computing units to share the load of the main chip, achieve lossless processing of real-time RAW domain data, and resolve the problem of computing power consumption in night scene videos and capture scenes.
This transformation started from relying solely on supply chain solutions. The direction of the transformation is the customization of core devices. This marks that domestic mobile phones have a say in the underlying imaging technology.
Each manufacturer has formed a clear and differentiated route in building a core product matrix, and this route is also technology-oriented.
Through the "dual image quality flagship" strategy, Xiaomi first launched 100-megapixel and then 200-megapixel sensors in the digital series. This high-pixel mode is used to analyze the ultimate details, and then cooperates with the Pengpai imaging chip to achieve high-speed capture. For Ultra models, Xiaomi has also delved into the one-inch variable aperture main camera, using it to simulate the physical aperture adjustment function of professional cameras to achieve precise control of depth of field blur and the amount of light.
After independence, Glory has pushed AI computational photography to a new level. Among them, its multi-main camera fusion computing technology can allow all cameras to be linked and work together. With the help of the resolution of the telephoto lens, the central details of the main camera picture are supplemented, breaking through the traditional limitations of a single camera operating independently, achieving full-focus high-definition coverage.
At the level related to user trust, this level is the quality standard system level. Domestic mobile phones have put image reliability into a strict testing process.
There is a precision structure called a periscope telephoto module. For this precision structure, mainstream manufacturers have conducted micron-level anti-shake tests, and have also conducted focus stability verification in high and low temperature environments.
The color standard jointly constructed by vivo and Zeiss not only focuses on the aesthetic presentation of "German taste" tones, but also establishes objective indicators that can be quantified in terms of the consistency of color accuracy and white balance.
At the same time, for the hot scenes of video production, the video super anti-shake algorithm has been updated to a horizon anti-shake mode that combines gyroscope data and AI cropping. It can maintain the level and stability of the picture even during strenuous exercise. The combination of the two is inseparable from the almost ultimate debugging for the deep coupling of the motion sensor and the imaging algorithm.
Market reputation and professional evaluation confirm the collective leap of domestic imaging.
In internationally recognized imaging quality evaluation lists such as DxOMark, the flagship models of Huawei, Xiaomi, and OPPO are at the forefront all year round. They have repeatedly received high scores in terms of multi-frame synthesis, texture retention, and subdivision dimensions such as noise control.
More importantly, user perception has shifted from “photographing is good” to “photography is professional”.
Ordinary consumers have begun discussions about the "monocular-level blur" brought about by "computational photography" and are sharing "starry sky samples" or "sports snapshots" shot with domestic mobile phones on social media. This reflects the profound impact of domestic mobile phones in "popularizing imaging culture" and "democratizing creative tools."
BOE owns high-quality, domestically produced screens and domestically produced CMOS image sensors. Their rise has further established a complete and thorough localization link for image collection and playback.
From the perspective of brand positioning, imaging capabilities have become the core support for domestic mobile phones to hit the high-end market.
By continuously investing in specialized research and development work in basic optics, and then working together with internationally renowned optical manufacturers to build joint laboratories, and delving into repeated updates and iterations of AI imaging engines, domestic brands have successfully changed the past inherent impression of "emphasis on marketing and light on technology."
This ability to focus on real-life scenarios of users, starting from the bottom layer of the chip and continuing to upper-layer applications, is end-to-end and innovative. It is the key to domestic brands winning the trust of consumers around the world and continuing to lead the innovation of mobile imaging.
