DXOMARK tests various criteria and gives an overall rating for photo and video quality. The Pixel 7 Pro scored 147 points, a small point ahead of the iPhone 14 Pro which scored 146. That’s a huge leap from the Pixel 6 Pro which topped out at 134 and now slips to 12th place. . Also remember that the Honor Magic 4 Ultimate has never been released by us, which means that on the French market, the Pixel 7 Pro is virtually the best in their eyes.
To arrive at this rating, DXO combines several sub-ratings. Note that it shines especially in photo and video, where it obtains 148 points and 143 respectively. The best phone in photo only therefore remains the Honor Magic 4 Ultimate with 150 points. In video, the iPhone gets 149 points. But if we combine photo and video, DXO judged that the Pixel 7 Pro was more balanced.
The family friend
The Pixel 7 Pro is mainly rewarded by its “Very balanced performance, an improved experience, particularly in terms of the overall quality of the zoom as well as in video”.
Besides, DXO recently introduced a new category called “Family & Friends / Portraits”. This measures the “device quality when capturing photos or videos during time with family and friends” or even with ” pets “.
In this new category, the Pixel 7 Pro wins the best score, one point ahead of the iPhone 14 Pro. He achieves this through “good preservation of contrasts, natural rendering of colors
of skin, an adapted exposure as well as an excellent management of motion blur ». The same goes for videos, “even in difficult conditions”.
“Impressive” results on skin tones
On skin tones more specifically, DXO praises “impressive results”, “accurate white balance and beautiful contrasts in all light conditions, including in difficult high-contrast scenes”. The autofocus is also praised, whether in photo or video.
The zoom of this latest generation has, it seems, been greatly improved. DXO writes: “The telephoto lens now has a longer focal length, which improves image quality for long distance shots. The use of image fusion improves the quality of images at medium distance. »
The only sticking points in DXOMARK’s eyes are to be found in low-light videos where it still has some progress to make to avoid underexposure and noise.
