Hello Friends,

We audiophiles have some expensive hobbies like cars, cameras, etc. There is no way out. Anyways, what I have realized that if you prioritize sensor size and natural colour reproduction, Leica’s Xiaomi partnership might be the better choice. If you prefer creative filters and Hasselblad’s signature look, OnePlus devices could be more appealing. It ultimately depends on your photography style!

I find Leica to have sharp, crisp images keeping the tone of the skin magnificent. Whereas in Hasselblad, you get the same picture rendition with a nostalgic appeal.

I have a fling for Opp Next N4 flip which has a Hasselblad camera. Can anyone share their experience?

Thanks in anticipation.

OP doesn't use any Hassleblad optics. It's more of the trademark arrangement and possibly extending to colour science/digital filter etc. But those are also very vague.

When Huawei had partnered with Leica in the early days, Leica did had a much higher say on the hardware of the camera and it's implementation.

In neither the above case, any optics that is to say sensor level involvement was there.

Neither Leica/Hassleblad make sensor for smartphones.

Sony/Omni vision and to some extent samsung are responsible for mass producing camera sensor for almost all smartphones.

Smartphone camera there days are more about computation photography and software. They have reached the physical saturation point in terms of hardware.
 
Only software color calibration is done when Leica , Carl Zeiss and Hasselbled trademarks are used by these Chinese companies ,
they used Sony lyt sensors are used in 2024 flagships like Xiaomi 14 ultra, Oppo find x7 ultra ,Vivo x100ultra
Take camera demo before buying

This reply comes across as so authoritative on the particular subject, I couldn’t help mentioning it.
 
Cameras on phones are no longer just the physical components of lens, auto stabiliser and sensor. The real heavy-lifting is done by software which is referred to as computational photography. This combines state of the art algorithms for image enhancement and machine learning techniques for AI based enhancements. There was no other way forward though. With tiny lenses (controls what physical resolution that can be achieved) and "mega-pixels" tied tiny pixels on the sensors (controls signal to noise ratio and low light performance) they were approaching the limits of physics. I believe the clear leaders here are Google and Apple.
 
You do realize that these are nothing but marketing gimmicks. The co-branded lenses usually don’t add much (if anything all) to the image quality.

It’s all in software and the sensor.
