With the LG G5 and the Huawei P9 notify currently two smartphones with Dual Camera new on the market. But something similar like the devices at first appear, so different are in truth the concepts of the manufacturer with respect to the dual camera.
Dual Camera concept 1: The LG G5
LG equips its G5 reverse with a dual camera that consists of two different lenses and sensors. Besides the "main camera" with 16 megapixels and a 78 degree viewing angle, there is also a wide-angle camera, which dissolves with 8 megapixels, but covers a field of view of 135 degrees.
In principle, the users within the camera app anytime switch between two lenses back and forth and so take the appearance that appears to match the subject most appropriate. The change works just about typing on two symbols within the app. A Christmas tree stands for the normal lens, three trees highlight the wide-angle optics.
In general, the 78 ° scope is more suitable for pictures at close range, while let the wide-angle lens to capture objects at greater distances. This circumstance makes the camera app, among other things when zooming advantage. Zooms the user very far from a motive, then the app will automatically switch from the main camera to the wide angle lens. When zooming in the exact opposite happens.
LG uses its dual cam but also to make some very special photos. The Pop Out photos use both lenses, the image of the main camera is placed over the image of the wide angle camera. The latter is characterized as a kind of framework for the actual main subject. Similar images can be even by post on Create PC, however, turned on the LG G5 directly from the state.
Dual Camera concept 2: The Huawei P9
Even the Huawei P9 has a dual camera whose lens in this case originate even from the German specialist Leica. However, the manufacturer chooses a completely different approach than LG. Instead of two lenses with different angles and resolutions to block, both of which have the P9 the exact same point of view and also the same resolution of 12 megapixels. The difference here is that Huawei in addition to normal Cam nor built a monochrome camera, which is designed exclusively for shooting in black and white.
Compared to black and white color filters, which can be put on almost any smartphone on the shots that monochrome camera can capture much more light differences and thus more details in black and white shots. To disclose to the finished photos and fine gradations in very bright and very dark areas, which would easily swallow a later DOMICILED Black & White filters.
Besides the number of lenses Huawei doubled P9, the number of sensors. Thus, the P9 at any time the light information from two sensors has in pictures, thereby winning images even in low light conditions to details. In addition, by almost twice as much image information as available as in images that are snapped with normal smartphone cameras.
In particular, the additional depth information obtained by the second sensor, to let some very impressive games. So the focus of images can, for example, change in the final image even after the actual shooting still - even dramatically. This is only possible because it required image information due to the second sensor are already available. The disadvantage is that stored images therefore requires more space on the internal memory than other smartphones.
Conclusion: two concepts, two winners
LG and Huawei put two completely different priorities in their dual-camera smartphones. Nevertheless, both can equally popular. The LG G5 particularly impressed with its unusually large zoom range, which is achieved by the flowing exchange between the two lenses. When Huawei P9, it is primarily the second camera sensor that can score. It ensures that for an image ready so many depth information that the focus can massively change even in hindsight. Add to this the possibility of black and white photos to shoot in a quality as with any smartphone camera was not yet possible.
