| Captain_Yuri said: Secondly, DxO's smartphone ratings are questionable at best. When the HTC 10 was being announced, HTC used DxO's benchmark site. DxO gave the HTC 10's camera the same score as the Galaxy S7's camera. But guess what? When the phones came out, in virtually every other site, the Galaxy S7's camera performed a lot better than the HTC 10's camera ever could. http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/139069-dxo-mark-is-another-smartphone-benchmark-you-can-ignore And also not to mention that is only 1 site... They don't govern whether it's the best camera or not. And even if it was, it does trade blows with the S7's camera which sits at 88 on their site vs 89. And the S7 has OIS which the pixel doesn't hence in real world tests that isn't produced by a questionable site, it should be a lot more stable. |
The articles I posted stated the same thing as you did regarding the HTC 10 and stated we'll need to wait for real-world comparisons, which is why I also provided a lot of sample pics.
Additionally, your link says the rating has merit, but they prefer how the camera functions... i.e. its usefullness not just the score. Obviously, we'll have to wait to see how its usefullness compares to what Sammy uses in its cameras (and frankly I think iPhone does a tremendous job with this... their UX is fantastic). Using my wife's S6... I don't think it is all that great. iPhone UX is certainly better IMO and better than stock Android as well. Guess we'll have to wait and see how Pixel handles this.
As for your repeated OIS, http://www.slate.com/blogs/moneybox/2016/10/04/google_s_new_pixel_phone_features_an_impressive_camera.html
We'll need to wait-and-see when it launches.
