Like its elder brother, the Honor 8 sports two 12MP cameras at the back
The Honor 8 is the latest flagship smartphone by Huawei’s sub-brand, Honor. As a flagship product, the device comes with a lot of cool premium features like a glass + metal construction, a powerful processor and more. However, the highlight of the phone is its primary camera. The phone sports a dual-camera setup like its bigger brother, the Huawei P9 but the Honor 8 sports not one, but two 12MP cameras. Read on to know more about the dual camera setup of the Honor 8.
The Honor 8 stands out from the really crowded smartphone junction by using two Sony IMX286 sensors instead of the standard single sensor. This helps the device to efficiently split the work between the two sensors, as compared to having a single sensor perform all duties. One of the sensors is a B&W sensor that takes in monochrome data and the details while the other is an RGB sensor that takes colour data. The information from the two processors is then combined together to create a single detailed image. The smartphone also packs hybrid autofocus which basically consists of a laser, depth and contrast focus. These three work in tandem to ensure that the subject is in focus regardless of the range.
Low light imaging on the Honor 8 is also augmented by the dual-camera setup. Since there are two sensors, the phone receives approximately double the light and details as compared to a single sensor. As a result, low-light images look fantastic on the screen! In addition, the Honor 8 also features a dual-tone flash, which helps reduce red-eye and gives a more natural colour tone.
Besides detailed pictures and better low-light imaging, there are other benefits as well. The phone has a Wide Aperture Mode, which lets the user take Bokeh shots in which the subject is in focus but the backgrounds are blurred. After taking pictures in this mode, users can not only change the point of focus in the picture, but also choose the amount of blur.
You also get a bunch of other photography modes like the “Pro Mode”. As the name would suggest, the Pro Mode gives the user much more control over the camera in terms of the ISO, shutter speed, white balance, and exposure. This essentially allows the Honor 8 user capture stunning snapshots by adjusting for light and image noise for every scenario.
