DxOMark: iPhone XR is 'Best Single-Cam Smartphone We've Tested'

Google should seriously consider taking the hint and a play from Microsoft’s book and just get out of the smart phone business. I cannot see any reason why anyone would buy a pixel and they cannot claim that the camera is better anymore. (Which it really never was and there is speculation they paid Dx to skew the results in their favor)
Thank you.
In all honesty I've found the photos on my XS for indoor photos to come out blurry and lacking detail compared to the Pixel 2.
Here is an example. Look how soft this photo is! I've blurred the kids faces and provided a 100% crop.
Apple probably not selling as expected from press in recent days. Now here comes favorable review long after released. Hmm.
I don't think they're stupid but rather just don't care enough to test for themselves or look deeper into the technology. They rely on headlines, marketing and popularity to justify their purchases. I think we're all guilty of that in one way or another.
Literally nothing was misunderstood about the SE. People knew exactly why it existed and what it's purpose was.The XR is such a misunderstood product... reminds me of iPhone SE in that sense.
I guess I like these types
A more accurate comparison is the 5C. A cheaper product at a premium price.
This is exactly what I have mentioned earlier....this review is only for people on double mind between XS and XR denying Apple a sale
Only because they haven’t tested the Pixel 3 yet.
Was just going to say, I didn't see the Pixel 3 on their site... maybe they had to delay that review so they could say this first for Apple, then next week the Pixel 3's will come out.

I'll give better video to the iPhone, but for pictures, the Pixel 3 wins hands down, with or without nightsight.
I had to smile to myself when I read your comment as it was exactly my thought.
Over the past few years when the iPhone was beaten by this companies score, we saw the majority of posters rubbishing this company and it's tests/results.
I was/am keep to see if this opinion here now changes that Apple have got to the top in the category again
I would love to believe people stick to their guns, and don't flip/flop their opinion simply based upon current results.
I wonder if in reverse the lovers of these companies and their reviews now will bash them
Marques specifically states that the likely reason for those phones "winning" is the extreme compression that exists on the platforms on which they were shared. I don't think any sane person would conclude that the Pocophone camera is better than the iPhone/Pixel 3 after viewing full resolution photos.
That's the most hilarious post today, thanks for the laugh
Yes, Google should exit the smart phone business, the one their operating system OWNS

I am assuming he/she is talking about hardware, which could make sense, although I think Google realizes that they may need a hardware focus moving forward. Their current business model may not hold up well in the future.
Not really that either. Did the 5c come with apple’s latest processor in it when it was released ?
Once someone has tried Googles Night Sight and compared it to any other phone camera (and indeed, many pure cameras) all the others (used in low light, non-flash) seem bitterly disappointing.
Since it was enabled on my Pixel 3 I have used it loads and it still utterly amazes me. After all the salty comments made on here after the XS low light comparison at the Google keynote , it should teach a few people about jumping to conclusions.
Even the zoom has some clever intelligence applied to it, rather than just cropping the original image. If Apple and Google combined their powers (to combine design to smarts) the device could be epic.
You're just embarrassing yourself with that post.

If that was the case then reference towards Microsoft contradicts. Microsoft stopped proceeding further on both Software (OS) and Hardware.
Google never even pretends it makes money in Nexus, Pixel et al...
I think the reference made sense. Microsoft exited the hardware business and that person was suggesting Google should do the same. Correct, Google really only makes money from advertising.
Marques also stated that people tended to prefer the "brighter" photos in his test.
It sounds like all it would take to "win" is to make sure your photo is exposed better.
I'm sure he was testing straight-out-of-camera with no-editing... but still.
Who knows why the iPhone took a slightly darker picture than the Blackberry. But I would have adjusted the iPhone to take a better picture if I was shooting a photo for real.
Also... tests like his are rather unrealistic. If you just looked at any of those photos alone you'd probably say they were fine. It's only when you put it next to another photo that you can begin to compare.
When I'm looking at photos on Instagram or whatever... I'm not looking at alternate photos of the same subjects taken from another camera (or 15).
