DxOMark: Google Pixel 6 Pro camera is good, but not perfect

It would be strange if Google did not single out the Pixel 6 Pro for the better against the background of the basic version of the series. It is logical to assume that the most noticeable difference was the camera. While the Pixel 6 offers a main module and an ultra-wide-angle lens, the Pro version has a 48-megapixel telephoto lens with 4x optical zoom.

All of this should have propelled the Google Pixel 6 Pro into the market leader. But guys from DxOMark did not assign this model the status of the best camera phone, although they noted tangible progress in creating high-quality photographs. In the test, they gave the Pixel 6 Pro an average score of 137 and placed it seventh in their ranking.

In their verdict, DxO experts noted that in terms of photo processing, the Pixel 6 Pro is the best of all Android devices. So in general, the Google smartphone is good in both photos and videos. Still, his photos are better than videos. Among the strengths of the camera, experts noted good detail in bright light and indoors, good shadow detail, fast and accurate autofocus, effective video stabilization, wide dynamic range and good exposure.

Among the disadvantages of the Google Pixel 6 Pro, they named noise in low light and indoors, depth errors and color instability, noise in video, errors in depth estimation and when taking photos with bokeh effect, as well as failures in autofocus. in low light.
