When a new mobile device enters the market, it is logical that all kinds of tests are carried out on its different components. The camera is one of the most important of any mobile today. And that is why the iPhone 12 Pro has passed the DXOMark tests obtaining a more than satisfactory result. We tell you all the details in this article.
The iPhone 12 Pro has one of the best cameras on the market
Those responsible for DXOMark have recently published their own review of the camera of the new iPhone 12 Pro. They have tested both the quality when taking pictures and recording a video clip including the four cameras that the new Apple flagship has. The result has given that the iPhone 12 Pro has a score of 128. These points are obtained by taking the average of the 135 points obtained in the photographic section and the 112 recording video.
If compared to the results of the iPhone 11 Pro Max, it has improved by four points. This makes the iPhone 12 Pro is now considered the best Apple equipment in the photographic section. In the event that you want to compare with the rest of the devices on the market, the considered competition, we observe that the iPhone 12 Pro has crept into the top 5, surpassing the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G among others. Specifically, the ranking today is as follows:
- Huawei Mate 40 Pro – 136
- Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra – 133
- Huawei P40 Pro – 132
- iPhone 12 Pro – 128
- Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro – 128
- Vivo X50 Pro + – 127
- Oppo Find X2 Pro – 126
- Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G – 126
- Honor 30 Pro + – 125
- iPhone 11 Pro Max – 124
If you come to assess what is the best and worst of the camera there are different considerations to take into account. According to DXOMark the ‘worst’ that the iPhone 12 Pro has is the zoom that obtained a score of 66. The fact that the telephoto lens only offers a 2x optical magnification makes it far behind the competition where in this aspect they shine with zoom that can surprise more than one.
But in the positive aspects section, the automatic focus of the camera stands out above all, which is quite accurate and fast in many situations. The preview that can be seen on the screen before pressing the shutter also approaches the final result of the photograph, not applying excessive processing that you have not already seen before taking the photograph. But unfortunately the iPhone keeps crashing in less than perfect lighting conditions . In case the camera is not in dim condition, noise can be found in the images. This is obviously solved with good lighting, but it is something that cannot always be achieved.
The video section highlights the quality with which the color of a landscape or skin tone can be recorded. The autofocus is kept in a very high position, something that could already be observed in the iPhone 11 Pro where almost cinematic results were achieved.
