So instead of becoming a monster, it's better to improve on the optical quality, and some brands focusing on the development of imaging features have chosen to rely on the technology of traditional top optical manufacturers to create certified lenses to improve the quality of the phone's photos. The most famous of these are the Zeiss lenses for the Lumia series and the Schneider lenses for OPPO.
ZEISS lenses improve picture quality
Back on April 27, 2005, when the first models of the Nokia N series were released, in addition to the hot-selling N70 and the top music phone N91, the Nokia N90, which is equipped with a Carl Zeiss-certified lens, was clearly one of the most glamorous stars. Smart phones for the first time on the top optical lens, although only certified, but the picture quality of the phone is still very obvious. Carl Zeiss AG, a German company that makes optical systems, industrial measuring instruments and medical equipment, has a full 150-year history and its lenses have always been known for their sharp imaging, clear details, bright surfaces, and superior anti-polarization and anti-reflection performance.

After the N90, Nokia launched N73, N82, N95, N8 and other popular camera phones at the time. At the 2012 MWC show, Nokia launched the world's top camera phone, the 41-megapixel Nokia 808, with the help of its years of accumulated technology and Carl Zeiss lenses.
After that, although Nokia's smartphones were equipped with the Windows Phone operating system, the lack of a perfect ecosystem made it difficult for the company to develop its own smartphones, and the company was unable to develop its own smartphones.
After that, although the WindowsPhone operating system on Nokia's smartphones was criticized due to the imperfections of the ecosystem, no one would still question the strong photographic ability of its top smartphones. 41-megapixel Lumia 1020 represented the highest level of cell phone photography in 2013, with an undeniable credit to the Zeiss-certified lens.
Later to catch up with the professional level
As early as September 23, 2013, the world's first large-screen smartphone equipped with a rotating camera N1 was released, which became one of the most outstanding camera phones with the 6P lens lens that appeared for the first time in an Android phone. And in 2014, OPPO even released two phones with German Schneider Optics certified lenses -- OPPO N3 and OPPO R5.

With its top-of-the-line Schneider-certified lens and 1/2.3-inch oversized sensor, the OPPO N3 is the Android phone with the best picture quality, while the OPPO R5, equipped with a Schneider-certified lens and Sony IMX214 sensor, is the ultra-thin phone with the best pictures.
Certified lenses are a must
Photography phones with certified lenses will have a significant improvement in image quality performance compared to the average camera phone. After all, as an important factor in image quality, the quality of the lens is no less important than the sensor. The essence of the smartphone is still a cell phone, so in the case of large optical zoom lens can not be perfectly integrated with the body of the phone, high-quality certified lenses is the only way to improve the image quality of the smartphone photo.
We can say that the Lumia phone and OPPO cell phone in the cell phone lens to make an example, high quality of the traditional German optical brand help, so that the two brands of smart phones to take pictures of the image quality far more than their peers, respectively, to become the WindowsPhone camp and the Android camp in the best pictures of the cell phone, no less than the Apple iPhone has become a benchmark for camera phones.
