The smartphone industry has always been highly competitive, and the progress of domestic mobile phones has left a deep impression. In terms of performance, quality, battery life and charging, the domestic camp has almost surpassed the strength of international manufacturers. In the field of photography, domestic mobile phones have also caught up and led wave after wave of image innovation. To get an idea of the imaging prowess of domestic phones, we compared the Huawei Mate60 Pro, the newly released Oppo Find X7 Ultra, and the Samsung S23 Ultra, which is known for its photography. These are the top camera phones from each company, and by comparing them, we can more clearly understand their differences and choose a must-have camera for travelers.
Whether it's the Huawei Mate 60 Pro, the Oppo Find X7 Ultra, or the Samsung S23 Ultra, these devices perform very well in regular shots. The top-of-the-line hardware and algorithms make them excellent even at 2x low magnification, with little difference in detail and image quality, and more of a way to express their respective shooting styles. At the 3x focal length, the difference begins to become apparent. Although the image quality and clarity of the shots taken by all three devices are good, the Samsung S23 Ultra has slightly lower parameters and a slightly weaker resolution, and the zoomed-in detail is slightly lacking. In terms of color style, the Huawei Mate60Pro has slightly richer colors, while the Samsung S23 Ultra and Oppo Find X7 Ultra are softer, and the Oppo Find X7 Ultra has a higher color contrast.
In indoor scenes, the image quality of the three devices is still remarkable. The Samsung S23 Ultra captures clear and dark details in a brighter way, but lacks some light and shadow texture. The Huawei Mate60Pro and Oppo FindX7Ultra are better at presenting light and shadow, and the colors are more vivid and natural, which is very pleasant. Among them, the Oppo FindX7Ultra is rich in detail, and the color of the cake is accurately restored, which makes people appetize. Low-light environments are more challenging for imaging capabilities, and there are some gaps between the three devices in this regard. The Samsung S23 Ultra's brightening is slightly overexposed, with a whitening sky and a lack of nighttime vibe, but the details of the buildings are sharper. The Huawei Mate60Pro performs well overall, with clear image quality and good highlight suppression. The OppofindX7Ultra, on the other hand, has the most nighttime feeling, with excellent light and shadow transitions and tones of the pagoda, and the pure sky contrasts with it and is comfortable to look at.
Zooming the focal length down to 6x, all three devices still show excellent imaging results. The overall image quality is flawless, the granular details of the building's surface are clearly visible, and the shade and light and shadow are accurately presented. However, in terms of color tones, all three phones have their own styles. After comparison, we can see that there is almost no difference between the three devices at low magnification, and the differences are mainly concentrated in 3x and 6x telephoto shooting. While sharpness is good, the Samsung S23 Ultra is better at restoring dark areas with higher brightness, and the Huawei Mate60 Pro prefers rich tones. With the optimization of the new generation of super light and shadow image system and Hasselblad algorithm in terms of image quality, light and shadow and color, OPPOFINDX7Ultra clearly wins the presentation of shadow tone texture, and at the same time, it also has more details after magnification.
Through the above comparison of the three devices, we found that they all have excellent shooting performance to varying degrees. Whether at 1x, 3x, or 6x, these devices deliver excellent image quality, detail, and color. However, each device has its own unique shooting style, with the Huawei Mate60 Pro favoring intense colors, the Samsung S23 Ultra excelling in brightness and shadow reproduction, and the Oppo Find X7 Ultra excelling in shadow texture and detail. Therefore, for consumers who are ready to buy a high-end flagship phone, if the shooting function is very important to you, it is recommended to go to the offline store to experience it for yourself, and finally make a choice according to your budget and preferences.
To sum up, domestic mobile phones are no longer suppressed by international manufacturers in the field of photography, Huawei Mate60Pro, OPPOFINDX7Ultra and Samsung S23Ultra are all excellent flagship models. Whether you're a travel enthusiast or a user with high requirements for taking photos, these phones have you covered. As long as you choose the photo style that suits you based on your personal preferences, you can find the most suitable mobile phone for your trip.
