Apple recently launched the iPhone 12 series of phones. With four new phones: iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max, this new series has been quite well received since its launch. This is because all the devices are quite powerful as they hide the A14 Bionic chipset under the hood and also impress in cameras and other performance areas.
While the phones have generally impressed, they have also emerged as solid updates over their predecessors. This is something we’ve also seen in DxOMark’s latest iPhone 12 Pro camera review, which has revealed that the new model offers improvements over last year’s iPhone 11 Pro right where it was needed, resulting in an improvement. 4 points compared to 11 Pro.
In the review, the iPhone 12 Pro scored a total of 128 points, placing it in fourth place in the overall ranking of the publication and on par with Xiaomi’s Mi 10 Pro, but lagging one point behind Huawei’s P40 Pro.
According to the review, the iPhone 12 Pro made showed “consistent autofocus performance, accurate colors, and detail preservation.” It worked well for indoor shots too, with the phone capturing a fair amount of detail and exposure good too.
It also crucially improves on night shots which, despite generating some noise, come out really well in your review. However, the review claims that the dynamic range was not that impressive and that the telephoto sensor did not perform very well with more demanding tasks when zooming further, either. The ultra-wide-angle performance was good, but not as good as some of the other flagships.
According to the camera benchmarking website, video recording is good, and the camera proves to be good at autofocus, exposure, and color accuracy. Stabilization also seems to be a strong point of the device, as well as capturing many details even in low light conditions. The wide dynamic range was another strong point.
To remind readers, the iPhone 12 Pro is powered by the same A14 Bionic chipset seen in the other iPhone 12 phones released this year. However, it differs a bit in terms of camera hardware from the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini. This is because it uses three 12-megapixel sensors, instead of two on the two phones mentioned above. All three sensors emit 12 megapixel shots.
The main lens offers F / 1.6 aperture and OIS. It is next to an ultra-wide lens with F / 2.4 aperture and a 52mm telephoto module with F / 2.0 aperture and OIS. There is also a LiDAR sensor that is used for depth detection.
