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.

Lol here we go again.

    Tobias, 11 Nov 2020And this is the big problem about DxO. If one of the phone ... moreDont be so ignorant bro. Of course a phone with those 2mp macro, depth, ai camera modules are better than a single camera phone😂
    DxOmark should score the wide, zoom, macro camera separately so the customers can make their dessigion on specifically what camera is the most important for them.

      US will (eventually) catch up the Chinese tech.

        "Low Light shots were just okay..." Did they take Night Sight Mode into account?!?! This just looks like another biased dxomark review. I've been using my 4a for the past 1 week and the low light shots aren't "okay".. definitely much better than those.

If one of the phone companies that buys their test software has a new phone that is not performing well enough, why not tune the test procedure and include tests that use the new additional camera sensors or night mode?

          A phone with multiple cameras easily gets a higher DxO score. And most consumers only look at the total points and the ranking. So, companies keep putting more and more cameras in their phones and climb in the ranking.

            It has higher score than any other single camera AND dual camera phone (except its big brothers Pixel 4/5). Now imagine Pixel with triple camera.

              Andre, 11 Nov 2020So the camera have the same quality as my Mate 20 Pro? So i... moreDXO's final score is only directly comparable to identical camera setup. So if the 4a has single lens then it should only be directly comparable to phones that only have one. If you want to compare the main cam of both phones with one having multicam setup then that's where you should go into the details of each of the main cam and not the final score.

                    Have to aggree with a lot of previous comments: the "low" score is not really a problem. Maybe some people need all those categories to user their camera, but not me.

                    I think a key aspect for google to focus on is depth of field. I think they would slay if they combine that with new camera hardware

                      GSMArena is defending the 2MP macro camera module. Here I am thinking 2020 couldn't get any worse.

                        Anonymous, 11 Nov 2020I don't think DXOMark cares about the SOC, only the cameras.video stability is directly related to the soc and 730 is very weak
