DxOMark hails the Oppo Find X7 Ultra as the Android smartphone camera to beat

Smartphone cameras just keep on getting better, as confirmed by imaging test laboratory, DxOMark. Their new champion is the Oppo Find X7 Ultra, which ties for first place with the Huawei Mate 60 Pro+, on 157points.

Since the Huawei Mate 60 Pro+ is prevented from running Google services, and, therefore, runs Huawei’s own HarmonyOS, instead of Android, the news means the Oppo Find X7 Ultra is the undisputed top DxOMark tested Android phone.

DxOMark test interchangeable cameras, lenses and smartphones in test laboratory conditions. Results are presented in a way that enables measured performance ratings to be compared easily from model to model, and even over time.

Accordoing to DxoMark: “The Oppo Find X7 Ultra shows excellent results across all test areas, and especially stands out in portrait capture, thanks to natural and accurate colors as well as high levels of detail in all shooting conditions.

“With a 50MP image sensor across all four camera modules, including a large 1″ main camera variant, the device delivers detailed and noise-free images. The two periscope cameras offer exceptional zoom capabilities from 3x to 6x and beyond, across all light conditions.

“Bokeh images in portrait mode show accurate subject isolation, as well as excellent color rendering and high levels of detail, thanks to the use of the 3x tele module in this mode. The Oppo Find X7 Ultra is an excellent device for capturing photos and videos of friends and family. Finally, while it uses SDR-8-bit format for video instead of HDR, the video quality remains excellent with accurate exposure, dynamic range, and vibrant colors, even in low light.”

DxOMark to present at Electronic Imaging Online 2021

DPNow comment: While we’re all surely missing going to shows like CES, The Photography Show and Photokina, some of these events are ploughing ahead socially-distanced, online. One such event is Electronic Imaging 2021 Online. Its credentials have been given a boost by confirmation from the renowned French company, DxOMark, that they will be involved in next month’s event:

DxOMark press release:

 

January 25th, online at Electronic Imaging 2021

DXOMARK, the French engineering services company well-known for its benchmark and recognized by camera, smartphone, and audio manufacturers world-wide, will showcase its expertise by presenting two papers assessing testing for image quality. On January 25 Frédéric Guichard, CEO & CTO at DXOMARK, along with his team of engineers, will explore the issues driving the industry by drawing upon the research completed at the DXOMARK Paris-based labs.

With over 10 years of experience testing and evaluating lenses and DSLRs and smartphone cameras. DXOMARK has developed unique, stringent scientific test protocols and industry-graded tools run by their engineers and technicians. Its Analyzer hardware and software suite for image-quality benchmarking has been used in image-quality testing for over a decade. 150 Analyzer laboratories are installed around the world. DXOMARK’s test reports are highly solicited by camera makers worldwide to help them measure image quality and to benchmark their products in various stages of the product development cycle.

Electronic Imaging 2021 conference attendees are invited to attend two DXOMARK webinars:

  • Evaluation of the Lens Flare

By Elodie Souksava, Thomas Corbier, Alexandra Giraud, François-Xavier Thomas, Laurent Chanas, and Frédéric Guichard

Flare, or stray light, is a visual phenomenon generally considered undesirable in photography and reduces image quality. In this talk, presenters will present an objective metric for quantifying the amount of flare of the lens of a camera module.

  • RAW Image Quality Evaluation Using Information Capacity

By François-Xavier Thomas, Thomas Corbier, Emilie Baudin, Yiqi Li, Laurent Chanas, and Frédéric Guichard.

This presentation outlines a comprehensive objective metric for estimating digital camera system performance using the DXOMARK’s RAW test protocol. These techniques and this work have the potential to improve digital image quality evaluation and to pave the way for advancements in domains such as automotive or surveillance cameras.
