iPhone 6s has only the tenth best mobile camera tested by DxOMark

13 October, 2015
Over the past few weeks, DxOMark has added quite a few new Android devices to its database rating mobile cameras. We've seen the Moto X Style and the Huawei Nexus 6P perform admirably, and then there was the Sony Xperia Z5 - actually climbing to the top of the experts' charts.

It's funny, one thing has become clear when reading these comments:

Dx0Mark is loved by the fans of whatever device they rate as number 1, and hated by those who's precious devices are rated lower.

For example, Dx0 are the current flavour of the month amoung Sony fans having rated the Z5 as the best. This is in stark contrast to when they rated the iPhone 6 above the Z3 and those same Sony fans were falling over themselves to question the validity of the Dx0Mark tests!!!!

Like I said, its funny.

Now as a new owner of an iPhone 6S, I fully accept the findings of the test, it seems Apple have some improving to do. I personally am still very happy with the camera, in fact I think it's amazing, but according to Dx0Mark (who clearly have more knowledge on such matters than I) there is still work to be done.

We'll just have to wait and see how quickly Dx0 find themselves back in the doghouse so to speak with the Sony worshippers should they rate future Xperia devices lower than that of competitors.

    Yeah !!!!! APPLE IPHONES are over priced mobiles. launching price will be Rs 62,000 and exactly after 1 year price will be slashed by almost 50%, how its possible???....Coz their selling price is always 10 times of cost price. APPLE is thinking INDIA is RICH country

    And moving any data like movies, books , music is a cumbersome process with ITUNES.

    God only knows where all these files and data in it.

    For everything you need a app , Finally you will end up with storage problem if you buy 16GB or 32GB.

    APPLE is doing intelligent business here as per storage concern, but one day people will know the tricks of apple, that day apple has to close BUSINESS all over the world. That day is not too far from now. Hardly 5 years.

    Already IPAD sales came down to rock bottom.

    By the way i have IPHONE, IPAD, MACBOOK.

    Hope FUCKING apple will shut the business very near future.

          tr1cky, 13 Oct 2015This may be accurate compared to a lot of the other phones ... moreLot of criticism by whom? please state those that have criticized the Z5 and check their credibility status as well. DXO mark has no affiliation to any one and are top professionals and are also the most credible. Don't tell us a few individuals who don't matter have criticized the Z5, there are several other links i can show you as well that show the z5 is excellent and am talking about superior auto pics. Going into manual mode is another story altogether, am sure you think dxomark only test the superior auto capabilities of each phone like some of the trolls you probably have seen criticizing the Z5.

            Anonymous, 13 Oct 2015Meh, never been a pro photographer anyways. Few will care.I can bet anything your statement would have been different if Apple were ranked as top dogs, the people who don't care are those who know nothing bout tech and go with the flow. Apple is trendy and has strong brand power that's all it has going for it. Has a lot of zombie fans that's just the truth.
