"Music"
Hey Guys its Sagar from Tecworkz.
I know you have already read the title of this video, and most of you are really mad
and furious at me for even making this comparison.
I would have not made this video, if this slide was not shown in the A1's launch event.
To top it off, they spent another 5 minuets comparing the images from the A1 with the
OnePlus 5 and the iPhone 7 Plus.
So its only fair that we put their claims to test in this video.
In one of my other videos, I compared the camera of the Mi A1 and the OnePlus 5, if
you want to watch it, I will leave a card to it on the top right corner of the screen
and also link it in the description section.
Alright ,now lets put Xiaomi's claims to the test.
But before we do that, make sure to hit the subscribe button, so you don't miss out on
any of the amazing videos coming up on this channel.
Quickly getting the specifications out of the way.
Mi A1 packs in dual 12 megapixel cameras with phase detect autofocus and dual tone flash.
One of the camera, has a regular 26mm wide angle lens with f/2.2 aperture, while the
other has a 50mm telephoto lens with an aperture of f/2.6.
There is no stabilisation on either of these cameras.
iPhone 7 Plus also sports a 12 megapixel dual camera setup.
The first camera has a 28mm wide lens with f/1.8 aperture.
While the 2nd one has a 56mm lens with an aperture of f/2.8.
You get optical image stabilisation on the wide camera, but the telephoto lens lacks
that feature.
At front, the Mi A1 has a 5 megapixel camera with f/2.0 aperture, while the iPhone 7 Plus
has 7 megapixel camera with F/2.2 Aperture.
The dual cameras on both these phones have similar functions.
You can choose between either of the cameras while clicking images.
They also allows you to take images with depth effect, by simultaneously gathering information
from both the cameras.
On the A1, for some reason, you don't have the option of switching to the telephoto lens
while shooting videos, which you can do on the iPhone 7 Plus.
Now that we know the function of dual cameras on both these smartphones, lets take a look
at some of the sample images and videos that I took with them.
As with all smartphone cameras, both of these capture good images in bright light.
Colours are extremely accurate from the iPhone in any lighting conditions, while the Mi A1
tries to capture cooler colour tones.
In some shots like this, white balance from the Mi A1 is way off.
Here are shots from both the cameras with HDR mode turned off, and now the same shots
with HDR turned on.
One from the Mi A1 has a green tint, which doesn't look that good, in my opinion.
Here's another example, and I like the one from the iPhone, since it brought back a lot
of details in the highlights.
A1 can take good close up shots, but thanks to the wider aperture on the iPhone, background
in its images is blurred out lot more.
Thanks to the telephoto lens on both the phones, you can take images like this, without having
to cropping in or any loss in image quality.
With the telephoto lens you also have the option to shoot portrait images.
Now Xiaomi is very confident of this feature on their phone, and rightly so, the A1 takes
very good portrait images.
Skin tones and colours from the iPhone are clearly better in these shots, but the A1
has done a commendable job for the price that it comes in.
But as soon as you start taking portrait images in low or artificial light, A1 really struggles
a lot.
As the light goes down, we start seeing a clear difference between the images from both
these phones.
iPhone again captures true and better colours, and having optical image stabilisation helps
capturing sharper detailed images.
The A1 lacks any sort of stabilisation, and has a narrower aperture, so it cranks up the
ISO to make the images brighter, but that also introduces noise in the images.
As I said before, the low light images from the iPhone are much sharper and detailed in
this comparison.
Thera is much less noise in the images from the iPhone and the overall images look a lot
better.
The 7 megapixel front facing camera on the iPhone again captures more details and better
skin tones.
Coming to the video performance.
if you saw any of my previous videos about the camera of the A1, you already know that
the video from it is extremely shaky, and doesn't look very good.
iPhone 7 Plus on the other hand is one of my favourite smartphones when it comes to
taking videos.
Both the phones can take slow motion videos.
A1 can take 12ofps slow motion video at 720p resolution, whereas 7 Plus can shoot similar
frame rate in 1080p resolution.
Lot of people are having some issue with the slow motion recording on A1, I had similar
issue while playing back this footage on the phone.
But when I moved the video to the computer to include in this video, the video played
normally.
Again it is choppy and not as good as the one on the iPhone 7 Plus.
There are a lot of problems with the camera of the A1 on the video side, and I can only
hope that Xiaomi fixes that soon.
So the iPhone is a clear winner at video, and also has a better overall camera.
It delivers great results in most lighting conditions, captures better contrast and dynamic
range, and the video it produces is amazingly smooth, all of this is expected from a flagship
device.
But the camera performance of the Mi A1 is also noteworthy, specially while taking portrait
shots.
It struggles in lower lighting situations and while taking videos, but considering the
fact that it comes at just Rs.15,000, there is not a lot to complain here.
Coming back to this slide, yes the Mi A1 has dual cameras and so does the iPhone 7 Plus.
But as we saw in this video, not all dual cameras are similar.
Xiaomi could have easily got away, if they had compared these cameras with the others
in the same price range.
All being said, I am happily surprised at the camera performance of the Mi A1.
Add to it the fact, that you can buy 4 Mi A1 smartphones at the cost of one iPhone 7
Plus.
Definitely check out my other videos, where I compare this camera with that of the OnePlus
5 and the Moto G5S Plus.
So what are your thoughts about the camera on these devices.
