The iPhone 15 Pro models brought a boatload of forward-facing changes to the table compared to its predecessor. The company tweaked the design slightly with curved edges and the display coupled with a new titanium finish. While the device features various changes on the inside, the company made sure that the camera hardware was up to date as well. DxOMark is now out with its camera rating for the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the results are quite surprising.
iPhone 15 Pro Max ranks second in the global DxOMark ranking with an overall score of 154, only second to the Huawei P60 Pro
DxOMark takes into account both photo and video-taking capabilities of a device and devises a score that matches the quality on a global scale. The publication also takes into account competition and how the new device is better in terms of some features while being worse in others. DxOMark has given the iPhone 15 Pro Max a whopping 154 score which is one of the best in the industry. However, the iPhone 15 Pro Max fails to take the crown this year as far as the global rankings are concerned.
The iPhone 15 Pro Max with its 154 camera score falls behind only one smartphone - the Huawei P60 Pro. Huawei's P60 Pro features the highest DxOMark score of 156, beating the iPhone 15 Pro Max with only 2 points. Nonetheless, the iPhone 15 Pro Max still houses a pretty solid camera setup on the back as it can take photos in various formats with a handful of professional tools.
DxOMark notes various pros and cons of the iPhone 15 Pro Max's camera experience to curate the score. The publication states that the camera experience was excellent on the new iPhone for photos and videos due to the HDR imaging format. The video-taking abilities are no doubt the best on any smartphone on the market and it keeps on getting better every year. All thanks to the A17 Pro processing, the shutter lag is nonexistent. The portrait photos offer a refined background blur which can be adjusted after the photo has been taken.
DxOMark also suggested that the zoom quality is limited before the telephoto camera comes into play. Furthermore, the shutter lag is noticeable when the iPhone 15 Pro Max is taking a photo in low light situations and delivers grainy results. Apple's innovations in HDR are only visible in its products. What this means is that Android smartphones or tablets will not be able to see the new HDR changes that the company has implemented.
While DxOMark gives us a pretty extensive look at the results derived from the iPhone 15 Pro Max's camera, the real-world performance varies from one scenario to another. Additionally, user preferences are also part of the mix to conclude in this regard. For instance, some users might prefer high saturation values in an image while others would prefer an image with a better dynamic range.
Nonetheless, if consistent factors are considered, the iPhone 15 Pro Max scores 2 points behind the Huawei P60 Pro but ahead of the Oppo Find X 6 Pro by a single point. Take note that the iPhone 15 Pro Max is far ahead of Samsung and Google in global rankings. We will share more details on the iPhone 15 Pro's camera, so be sure to stick around.
