With so many technological giants trying to make a mark when it comes to smartphone cameras, the consumer needs a third party estimation to point out the best product. Therefore, DxOMark was established in 2008 as an independent benchmark that scientifically assesses image quality of smartphones, lenses and cameras.
What Is DxOMark? – A Scientific Test Method
The use of an objective and scientific approach to image quality testing and perceptual analysis makes DxOMark the number one authority according to both tech press and product developers. This scientific protocol, using industry-grade lab tools, creates a DxOMark score. If the score is high, the image or video quality is good.
A new smartphone camera that receives a bad DxOMark score will unlikely land a good review in your favourite tech magazine. When determining the video sub-score for mobile video, DxOMark examines the following criterias:
- Exposure
- Color
- Texture and noise
- Autofocus
- Artifacts
- Stabilization
