The OPPO Reno12 series has finally been officially released, and it lives up to everyone's expectations. The new Reno brings a fresh creative twist to portrait photography with its Live Photo feature.
Notably, unlike traditional Live Photos, OPPO has enhanced the Live Photo feature with natural beauty effects leveraging the outstanding AI capabilities of the Reno12, eliminating the need for post-editing.
Furthermore, the Reno12 series' Live Photos are the first in the Android industry to support sharing to the Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book) social platform. If you often take selfies or group photos with your phone, the Live Photo feature with AI enhancement is definitely worth a try.
When it comes to Live Photos, most people would first think of iPhones. When taking Live Photos with an iPhone, the camera merges the footage from 1.5 seconds before and after the shot, creating a 3-second mini video that includes sound. The end result is making a "static photo" come to life, presenting a dynamic effect.
When users view these photos in their albums, they will see moments captured before and after the shot was taken, undoubtedly, compared to static images, the significance of live photos lies in their ability to breathe life into still frames.
By recording dynamic images and on-site sounds before and after the shutter clicks, photos are no longer mere records but vibrant expressions. Specifically, live photos not only capture a moment's scene but also seize dynamic elements like people's movements, object motions, making them visually more impactful.
Moreover, though called photos, they are more akin to videos as live photos include on-site sounds. These sounds can evoke emotional resonance, transporting us back to that moment, allowing us to feel the emotions and atmosphere once more.
In essence, live photos are ideal for capturing fleeting moments, such as a pet leaping at home, a baby's first steps, or heartwarming family reunions, moments that are often challenging to fully capture with static photos.
Live photos can preserve the dynamics and sounds of these moments, making memories even more precious. Of course, you can also use live photos to document more details and dynamics of daily life, infusing ordinary days with extraordinary stories.
Why can't social platforms share live photos?
With great photos, friends are more eager to share, but live photos differ from static ones, and many social platforms have limitations on supporting this dynamic photo format due to technical constraints.
There are several reasons for this, such as the unique format requiring specific decoders for playback. Additionally, supporting new formats demands resources for development, including encoding, decoding, and adjustments to the user interface. For some social platforms, the priority level for this feature has not yet reached a high enough degree.
A significant reason for this is the limited popularity of real-time photos. It is believed that as more smartphone brands support capturing real-time photos and with the increasing user demand, we may see more social platforms adding support for real-time photos or other dynamic photo formats in the future. For example, the OPPO Reno12 series supports sharing real-time photos to social platforms like Xiaohongshu.
What makes the real-time photos of the OPPO Reno12 series different?
The OPPO Reno12 series is the first Android model to support sharing real-time photos on social media and the first in the industry to support AI portrait algorithms for real-time photos. Integrated with cutting-edge native AI portrait algorithms, the Reno12 series can accurately capture and analyze 377 facial feature points, presenting users with personalized beauty effects based on age, gender, skin tone, and specific scenes, thanks to its powerful AI large model data.
Every candid photo now reflects the user's preferences, simplifying the tedious steps of traditional post-processing and bringing a more convenient and efficient photography experience.
In conclusion:
Whether capturing fleeting beauty or documenting important moments, candid photos have a wide range of uses. With evolving user needs, support for candid photos on smartphones is becoming a trend, and the OPPO Reno12 series has taken a significant step in this direction.
Not only does it support capturing candid photos, but it also leads in sharing on social media platforms on the Android platform. It is the first to integrate AI portrait algorithms into candid photos, even surpassing the capabilities of the iPhone. Ultimately, we look forward to continuous innovation in smartphone candid photo features, providing users with even more exceptional photography experiences.
