Honor Magic7 RSR vs. Magic7 Professional digital camera comparability

The Honor Magic7 RSR Porsche Design is a unique version telephone born out of the cooperation between Honor and Porsche Design. Alternatively, past the tweaks to {hardware} and instrument design, there are a few intriguing variations within the digital camera {hardware} that may probably carry the picture high quality even additional than the nice stage that the common Honor Magic7 Professional already supplies.

In the beginning, we did not spend an excessive amount of time inspecting the picture high quality in our Honor Magic7 RSR evaluate as a result of we concept the digital camera high quality used to be already excellent sufficient and it is solely past the purpose when you find yourself getting a fashion designer telephone, however we were given such a lot of requests about this comparability through our evaluate readers that right here it’s.

Each telephones have a an identical triple digital camera setup. A 50MP primary digital camera with a variable aperture, a 200MP 3x digital camera, and a 50MP ultrawide digital camera with AF. The entrance digital camera is a 50MP AF unit with a 3-d ToF gadget. Alternatively, the satan is in the main points, as they are saying.

• Extensive (primary): 50MP Omnivision OV50K (1/1.3″, 1.2µm- 2.4µm), f/1.4-f/2.0, 24mm, multi-directional PDAF, OIS; 4K@60fps, LiDAR autofocus
• Telephoto: 200MP Samsung ISOCELL HP3 (S5KHP3, 1/1.4″, 0.56µm – 2.24µm), f/1.88, 72mm (70mm local), multi-directional PDAF, OIS; 4K@60fps
• Ultrawide: 50MP Omnivision OV50D (1/2.88″, 0.61µm – 1.22µm), f/2.0, 12mm (122˚), PDAF; 4K@60fps

First off, Honor has modified the primary digital camera sensor at the Magic7 RSR. It is intended to be Omnivision OV50K as a substitute of the OV50H. Honor did the similar sensor transfer for the Magic6 Professional/Magic6 RSR. The OV50K has the similar optical structure (measurement), however it’s intended to supply a greater dynamic vary – as much as 15EV, consistent with Omnivision.

Moreover, the 200MP 3x periscope zoom digital camera at the Magic7 RSR now comes with a bigger f/1.88 aperture, which matches out to an entire prevent of sunshine of distinction in comparison to the Magic7 Professional’s f/2.6 aperture. This additionally method the lens’ intensity of box will have to be shallower now, too, supplying you with more potent background defocus (bokeh).

We have been additionally stunned to find that the Magic7 RSR’s lens has a distinct local focal duration (70mm) than the Magic7 Professional’s (60mm). Without reference to this, each telephones produce pictures at 72mm focal duration (the so-called 3x zoom), this means that the Magic7 Professional does a little bit extra upscaling to get there than the Magic7 RSR. You’ll simplest get the pictures on the local focal duration while you shoot within the full-res mode (200MP) – this has been the default manner because the Magic6 Professional collection.

And in spite of everything, Honor has additionally added a LiDAR sensor at the Magic7 RSR to lend a hand with video autofocusing – they are saying it is a lot better with high-framerate movies of as much as 60fps however that one is fairly onerous to check objectively so we will skip it within the segment beneath.

Digital camera samples

Listed below are a couple of scenes shot with the primary cameras of the 2 telephones in looking to gauge if there used to be any distinction in dynamic vary, even if it isn’t like the usual Magic7 Professional used to be missing in that recognize. We intentionally shot some difficult high-contrast scenes in our hopes to let the RSR model shine. Because it grew to become out, making out variations between the 2 telephones in dynamic vary particularly proved fairly tough.

This used to be already the case after we in comparison the Magic6 Professional to the Magic6 RSR so there is not any wonder right here.

The broader aperture at the Magic7 RSR digital camera used to be now not anticipated to do a lot for symbol high quality all over the day, and certainly, we struggled to look any constant variations between the 2 cameras. A couple of pictures got here out with fairly other definition or micro-contrast, however we did not practice it in different pictures, so it is onerous to attract conclusions.

The adaptation within the lens apertures, then again, turns into extra evident with close-ups – the intensity of box is shallower at the Magic7 RSR, and the background blur stage is upper.

That does make the Magic7 RSR higher suited for portraiture because of the enhanced separation between matter and background.

Digital camera verdict

General, we did not see any significant distinction between the 2 telephones’ primary cameras. For what that is price, we even discovered the Magic7 Professional’s primary cam sharper after darkish.

The broader aperture at the Magic7 RSR telephoto digital camera held the better doable for generating significant enhancements. We definitely loved the shallower intensity of box because it produced a lot more pronounced background defocus and topics stand out higher. Alternatively, in low mild, we struggled to seek out any variations in symbol rendition. Although the Magic7 RSR’s digital camera constantly had the luxurious of the use of a decrease ISO price, each cameras resolved an an identical stage of element and had an identical noise ranges.

After all, we in reality loved the Magic7 RSR design (as polarizing because it may well be), the longer battery existence and the vast aperture telephoto. We expect the Honor Magic7 RSR Porsche Design can in truth be thought to be an upgraded model of the Magic7 Professional (a Plus fashion, if you are going to) – it is the query we have now been asking ourselves this entire time.

The Honor Magic7 RSR Porsche Design launches at €1,799 (£1,549 in the United Kingdom) and whether or not the ones options can justify the RSR’s worth top rate over the already beautiful forged (and now not too inexpensive) Magic7 Professional might be as much as you. After all, this higher aperture telephoto digital camera is in reality one thing, and we would like shall we see it in additional mainstream gadgets too – perhaps subsequent yr, Honor?
