Such a large sensor increases the dynamic range beyond what any other smartphone , achieving the industry's highest 16EV, more th a n that of many professional cinema cameras. In scenes with bright skies and dark shadows in the same frame, it recovers blown-out highlights and lifts details from the dark areas, creating a more balanced image that looks closer to what your eyes actually see. To improve the colour accuracy and details in night scenes, the main camera combines the information from the Ultra Chroma Camera to deliver ultra-clear and brilliant nightscapes even in low-light environments.
