50MP vs 8MP : Is There a Massive Color Shift Between two sensors in iQOO Z11 ?

The iQOO Z11 uses a 50MP Sony IMX882 as its main sensor, while the ultrawide uses an 8MP GalaxyCore sensor.


So, yes, there is a noticeable difference between the two.

The ultrawide generally captures darker tones and less light, while the main sensor produces a brighter image with better overall detail and dynamic range. The difference in resolution is also immediately visible, with the 8MP ultrawide naturally looking softer compared to the 50MP main camera.


Interestingly, the main camera also feels less colour boosted, while the ultrawide can appear a little more punchy in comparison.

But this isn't particularly unusual.


These are two completely different sensors from different manufacturers, with different resolutions, specifications, lenses and image processing characteristics. Naturally, iQOO has to tune them separately, so getting perfectly identical colour science across both cameras isn't realistic.

The important part is understanding the difference rather than expecting the ultrawide to produce the exact same output as the main sensor.


50MP IMX882 : brighter, cleaner and more detailed.

8MP GalaxyCore ultrawide : darker, softer and more limited.
