Apple iPhone 13 Pro scored 137 points in DxOMark camera test

Recently, DxOMark announced the camera score of Apple’s recently launched iPhone 13 Pro, with a total score of 137 points, which is 9 points higher than the previous generation iPhone 12 Pro. Precisely, the score is 144 points for taking pictures, 76 points for zooming, and 119 points for video.

According to DxOMark’s smartphone camera table, Apple’s iPhone 13 Pro ranked fourth, losing to Huawei P50 Pro (144 points), Xiaomi 11 Ultra (143 points), Huawei Mate 40 Pro+ (139 points), by surpassing Huawei Mate 40 Pro (136 points).

DxOMark said, Apple’s iPhone 13 Pro has a total score of 137 points, which is among the best in its camera rankings. The total score plus 144 excellent photo scores. Just like other iPhones, the color rendering is vivid, the skin tones are beautiful, the touch is slightly warmer, and the camera is usually very reliable.

The overall photo performance is very similar to the 12 Pro we tested last year, but it has been improved in several ways. The color and contrast of backlit portraits have been improved, and the images show higher levels of detail, especially when shooting under typical indoor conditions.

It looks like Apple’s camera engineers have managed to use the larger pixel pitch of the new sensor to improve detail retention, but just like on the 12 Pro, brightness noise can still be seen in most shooting situations.

The camera’s zoom score is 76. Although it is not the best, the performance is still better than that of the 12 Pro, thanks to the longer 3x optical zoom, compared to 2.5x for the old model. Due to multiple improvements in key areas, an excellent video score of 119 puts the iPhone 13 Pro at the top of this sub-ranking.

The very obvious tone mapping instability on iPhone 12 series models has been fixed, and exposure is now generally very stable. Autofocus performance has also been improved, thanks to better tracking at the right moment and very smooth refocusing.
