Dual camera that you can buy for 30,000 yen! Take pictures with "HUAWEI nova lite 2" and "goo smartphone g08": Play with Kei Ogikubo's mobile camera (page 1/4)

Don't you think that only high-end models are equipped with a camera that can take beautiful pictures? Nowadays, even a "bargain" smartphone that costs less than 30,000 yen (excluding tax) doesn't feel like it.

Introducing this time are two models, Huawei Japan's "HUAWEI nova lite 2" and NTT Resonant (Wiko Japan)'s "goo smartphone g08 (Wiko View Prime)".

Both have slightly limited sales channels, but the standard price is less than 30,000 yen including tax. If it is sold as a set with a cheap SIM (MVNO service), you may be able to buy it for less than 20,000 yen depending on how you buy it.

The one with the dual camera on the left is nova lite 2, and the one with the red single camera on the right is g08.

The nova lite 2 has dual rear cameras and is good at "blurring the background". On the other hand, g08 has dual in-cameras, and its specialty is "ultra-wide-angle selfie".

The composition of "dual rear camera vs dual in camera" is really interesting.

Anyway, try from "Beauty"

The nova lite 2 is the main model in the middle range sold overseas under the name "HUAWEI P smart".

As mentioned above, the out-camera has a dual configuration. The sensor is a combination of 14 million pixels and 2 million pixels. There is an extreme difference in the number of pixels, but the 2 million pixels are for so-called "background blur". In other words, you can think that it is used only to determine the context of the subject.

The lens has a brightness of F2.2 and the angle of view is equivalent to 26mm. The setting is closer to the wide-angle lens.

So I immediately point the camera at the usual female college student.

The user interface (UI) and function configuration of the standard application are the same as those of recent Huawei smartphones. There are "wide aperture" and "portrait mode" in the photo mode, and "portrait" is the basic when taking a picture of a person. Or rather, it may be good to take a portrait from usual. If you don't detect your face, it's normal shooting.

So let's compare them.

Left is normal mode, right is portrait mode

There is such a difference between normal mode and portrait mode. In portrait mode, it not only smoothes the skin, but also adjusts the brightness of the photo to the face and reduces the shadows.

In the hard schedule, I asked for a model this time, so I got a tired face as it was in normal mode, but I covered it well in portrait mode. This is a loss if you don't use it, everyone.

So, in portrait mode, select the beauty level 5 (center) and shoot under a cloudy sky mixed with light rain with rape blossoms in the background.

As expected, Huawei is a skin treatment.

Furthermore, turning on "Bokeh" will blur the background moderately.

Next, the g08 out-camera. Although it is a single camera, the sensor has 16 million pixels. The lens is F2.0.

The standard camera app is a bit like an iPhone. It is a type that switches the shooting mode by flicking left and right.

Flick to the right (or tap the portrait) to switch from normal to "face beauty".

At the time of face beauty, it is a delicate sense that the shutter button becomes "pink", but let's leave it.

There are 3 levels of face beauty mode, but when you shoot at level 2, it looks like this.

Example of face beauty mode (level 2)

The skin color is natural and nice, but it's a little silky. In other words, it's not very attractive ... but it feels strange. that? I think the lipstick was a little redder ...

Looking back at the photos I took with the nova lite 2, my skin is white, but my lips are red. The flowers in the background are also red. That may be the reason why the skin looks a little dull.

The actual color is about halfway between the two models, but rather than pursuing "realistic" realism, "face beauty" is a "realistic brain" priority mode (strange Japan) that "I want you to be photographed like this". It's a word), so it's difficult to decide which one you want.

The weather conditions were not good this time, so it may be different if you shoot when it is sunny.

Next is the background blur, but in g08 it is a different mode from face beauty. So, if you blur the background, you won't get face beauty. It's a shame.

Although the edges are processed for blurring of a single camera, face beauty is not applied and the background blur is not so natural, so it may not be used frequently.
