Daylight testing

(M3s)


(PRO 6)

White balance of the above 3 images are simillar, colors of the building and trees are natural.

Detail comparison:



M3s can't see the tree's detail, while M3 note and PRO 6 can still see the shape of the leafs, PRO 6 display more detail due to higher resolution

In this detail comparison, PRO 6 > M3 note > M3s

For this picture group, the detail performance of M3s is better than the previous one, but still blur compare with the other 2.
And about the color tone, M3 note is the warmest one, while PRO 6 can display the blue sky well.
Detail: PRO 6 > M3 note > M3s
White balnace: PRO 6 > M3s > M3 note


Micro mode

M3 note & PRO 6 bring more background blur than M3s, while PRO 6 bring more vivid color than the other 2 devices.
Background blur: M3 note, PRO 6 > M3s
Color: PRO 6 > M3 note, M3s


  
Indoor light

(PRO 6)



Colors are very close within 3 images, and about the detail, noise control on PRO 6 is better

Noise control: PRO 6 > M3 note > M3s


Lowlight condition

(PRO 6)



In the low light condition, the image detail go down, and compare the color and detail:
Color: PRO 6, M3 note > M3s
Detail: Pro 6 > M3 note > M3s


Flash test

(M3s)

(PRO 6)

There's too much light of M3 note which make the image little over exlosure, while M3s and PRO 6 control the light quantity better

PRO 6 & M3s control the light quantity better and bring more natural image, while M3 note need to be improved; while PRO 6 performs the best.

In night mode, all the 3 phones can still shoot quick and bring acceptable image quality, M3 note & PRO 6 keeps better detail than M3s.


Conclusion:

1. There's not huge different between the camera of these 3 models, all of these 3 models can satisfy your daily need;
2. PRO 6 is already adopted the new algorithm, then the white balance and colors of PRO 6 is performing better than the other 2 devices; and as PRO 6 use better sensor and higher pixels, it performs better in detail and night mode;
3. Thought M3 note and M3s are using the same sensor, M3 note is better in image detail, and M3s better in colors, this may be the result of different firmwares and individual hardware quality difference.
