camera

The back of the POCO X7 has three lenses, namely the 50 million pixel main lens, the 8 million pixel ultra-wide angle, and the 2 million pixel macro. The photosensitive element used in wide angle is SONY IMX882, which supports OIS optical anti-hand shock, plus f/ 1.5 aperture, which can support up to 4K 30 FPS video recording, but ultra-wide angle can support 1080P 30 FPS, and the macro is only 720P 30 FPS.

In terms of image quality, the wide-angle lens takes an extremely eye-catching style, presenting a high contrast and high saturation route. The details are sufficient during the day and under sufficient light. It benefits from OIS anti-hand shock at night, even if the night view mode is not turned on. , can also have good noise suppression.

The equivalent field of view of ultra-wide angle is 15 mm. Compared with the wide-angle lens, the color will be a bit white. As long as the 8 million pixels are not too enlarged during the day, it is enough to watch on your mobile phone or share it on social websites. . At night, the restricted aperture is only f/2.2, and the image quality will drop significantly.

Finally, in the night view mode, whether it is the preview screen or the final photo results, the color performance is significantly different from the general mode. The brightness of the photo screen will be improved, the saturation will be reduced. After enlargement, the overall details will be a little bit. Improvement.
