DxOMark camera review site recently changed its review protocols for mobile products to take account for new advances in technology including dual-camera setups, on-sensor phase detection for quicker autofocus and better low-light performance. Therefore, DxOMark has pretty much reset all of its scores for all new reviews.
DxOMark finally got round to reviewing the Xperia XZ Premium and has awarded it a score of 83, more than 10 points lower than the iPhone 8 Plus that was also reviewed today. DxOMark says that the Xperia XZ Premium does a good job of capturing still photos and video, but doesn’t break any new good, performing poorly on their new Zoom and Bokeh tests.
On the plus side, the Xperia XZ Premium does well with autofocus on camera and video, with good stabilisation for video. The innovative 960 frames per second slow motion video also wins high praise. You can check out the full review here, let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
Thanks Eru and Yut!
