Fa14bi, 27 Sep 2023And somehow the Moto edge 40pro is better than the Pixel 6,... moreA flagship Phone from 2023 is better than an upper midrange phone from 2021 what a coincide

    Just read the entire dxomark review. The 15 pro max seems to be quite an improvement over the last generation - so, good job!

    That being said, Apple's latest and greatest phone still loses in the camera department (at least in DxOmark total score) to the Huawei 60 pro, which happens to be developed under heavy sanctions.
    It is to be expected that the next generation of Android flagships, which are going to arrive in the next few months and which will be sporting the newest SoCs and latest IPC and sensor technology, will likely surpass the iPhone 15 line in the camera department.

    In summary: for photography-affine Apple users the iPhone 15 pro max is a no-brainer, especially if they haven't upgraded their phone for a couple of years.
    For Android users, there is little Apple has to offer in terms of camera development that would lure them over to the Apple camp.

      Anonymous, 27 Sep 2023If you remember Samsung using “AI” to improve image quality... moreApple is using way more AI in images than Samsung, doesn't have to be a bad thing, but on the 15 Pro max telephoto it's obvious with texts that it uses AI Upscalings because it doesn't hit letters right and deforms them.

        With a smaller main sensor and a telephoto that lacks OIS, while Moto was never known to be anywhere close flagship in camera hardware.

Dxomark had some controversial reviews in the past, but they improved a lot recently. Most things in reviews correspond with a real life. P60 Pro takes best photos and Iphones best videos.

                DarlingYext, 27 Sep 2023You wouldn't say that if Samsung was ranked as 1st.Funny how Dxomark became meaningless right away when Samsung wasn't among top places anymore 😆

                  The feature that takes portrait modes even when you're not shooting in that mode is brilliant, one of the best camera features ever.

                            Paid sponsorship, for almost all of them that participate. Google and Samsung definitely didn't give dxo enough money the last few series, as Huawei is still contracted to be number 1 until the end of the year. Wonder how much they paid for that
