News & Reviews:   DxOMark

Fresh from the highest score of 94 on DxOMark for the Apple iPhone 8 Plus, DxOMark have awarded the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 with the same score of 94 but mention the zoom in particular. Featuring 12MP dual-rear cameras and a wide-angle 26mm f/1.7 lens plus a 52mm telephoto f/2.4 lens with x2 optical zoom and x8 digital zoom, according to DxOMark the Galaxy Note 8 has the best zoom capabilities for a cameraphone to date. Apparently, the Galaxy Note 8 managed to get the highest score of 100 in the photography section for less noise and more details but doesn't do as well in video with a score of 84.

Camera centric site DxOMark have now ranked the Apple iPhone 8 Plus at 94 while the iPhone 8 is 92, knocking down the previously ranked 90 HTC U11. The larger sensor in the iPhone 8 Plus apparently provides better photos for a top Photo score of 96 but perhaps not so much for video at 89. The single camera iPhone 8 performs just as well but isn't as good at zoom and bokeh as the bigger iPhone.

The OnePlus 5 has scored an impressive 87 on DxOMark, the same score alongside Huawei P10 and higher than the iPhone 7, despite multiple critique and complaints from users.
