Google Pixel 4a does well in DxOMark review but can’t compete with multi-cam setups

11 November 2020
There's only so much a single module can accomplish.

      Thanks 👍

That is a big improvement to the scoring system. There is a separate photo score for the main sensor

The total comprises a zoom score and ultrawide angle score so obviously phones without zoom and ultrawide will not do as well in the total score. You can look at the score for the main sensor separately rather than the total score

              1. Different scoring standards
              2. Pixel 4a doesn't have a dedicated camera module for zoom nor UWA

Also, people who usually comment are quick to shame a camera for like, a couple of pixels of noise, meanwhile they just post photos on social media where it doesn't even matter. Everyone's a photographer now. I actually plan to get the 4a.

                    Google pixel 4a takes great photos, certainly better than the mate 20 x from 2018.

                    All they care about is camera spec and no software processing.

                        pufanu, 11 Nov 2020Does anyone still take DxOMark seriously anymore?It is not something you can count on but still DxOmark has one of the best in dept camera reviews, just dont bother with the overall scores. Nothing shouldn't be taken seriously.all the benchmark and scoring apps and web sites, all the commercials with exaggerated atmospheric slogans and commentaries,nothing.personal research and chosing a phone for the specific features that fulfill the individual needs is the most rational way.

                          Does anyone still take DxOMark seriously anymore?

                              Really? Someone complain about multicamera setup? I have P30 Pro and I love it. How could I catch wide scene without ultrawide camera? Why would I have an ugly digital zoom full of huge pixels? Don't see these benefits?

                              Anyway, DxO score cannot be taken too seriously. I remember, that nokia N808 and Lumice 1020 (large sensors, quite good optics, xenon flash...) had worse score than Iphones and galaxy S from these times.

                                And this phone is already £70 cheaper!

                                Easy recommendation to anyone who prefers camera over games and appreciates a compact android phone.

                                Now give us geeks/"power users" a proper flagship Google! C'mon!

                                      If it comes along with the quality of course.



                                        Multi cam setup. Lol. Big joke right there. Mobile cameras have almost reached their peak with main cameras, so now to buy some time let's put some additional and meaningless hardware, aka telephoto, wide angle etc. cameras and let those imbeciles fall for it, and why not, because no shortage of stupid people in the world, who now buy a mobile phone based on number of cameras instead of end image quality.

                                        Comical stuffs.
