The selfie camera of the iPhone 13 Pro lags behind Android smartphones

DxOMark Is a well-known platform for evaluating the quality of cameras, screens and speakers of smartphones. While some people don't believe in the veracity of its ratings, DxOMark is pretty decent and its ratings are mostly relative. The company recently released a test version of the iPhone 13 Pro selfie camera, and many Apple fans will not like the result because it is currently in 10th place.

Although this device is behind nine Android smartphones, it is one of the best on the market. iPhone 13 Pro scores 99 points, and the number one smartphone, the Huawei P50 Pro, scores 106 points. This means that they are separated by only 7 points, which is not entirely bad.

Overall performance is very similar to last year's iPhone 12 series, but the iPhone 13 Pro performs better in selfies thanks to accurate subject exposure, wide depth of field, and good detail in highlights and indoors.

The iPhone 13 Pro is also one of the best devices in the selfie video category. Its video dynamic range is wide, target exposure is accurate, neutral white balance produces natural and pleasing skin tones, and color sensitivity is also excellent.
