Apple iPhone X photo quality tops DxOMark Mobile rankings
Its video quality, on the other hand, still has some catching up to do.
- More than two decades experience writing about PCs and accessories, and 15 years writing about cameras of all kinds.
DxOMark says the iPhone X's image quality is top notch.
Apple's iPhone X might not be able to survive a drop, but at least it takes the best photos of any phone out there.
According to DxOMark, which does in-depth testing and reviews of camera sensors, lenses and phone cameras, the 10th-anniversary iPhone hit a score of 101 for its photo quality. That score just barely bests the still image scores for the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and Huawei Mate 10 that were tied at 100.
"The X improves noticeably on Zoom performance, but also does better in terms of exposure, color, texture, noise and artifacts" compared to the iPhone 8 Plus, DxO stated in its review.
However, its results for video performance show Apple still has room for improvement. With a sub-score of 89 for video, its overall score averaged 97, matching the Huawei Mate 10 in the current DxOMark Mobile overall rankings. That's just behind the Google Pixel 2 with 98 points.
