Despite hardware and software improvements over 2018’s model, Apple’s iPhone dropped six spots on imaging specialist DxOMark’s front-facing camera quality charts as competition from the likes of Huawei and Samsung heats up.

According to a comprehensive review of iPhone 11 Pro Max published by DxOMark on Monday, the smartphone’s 12-megapixel selfie camera, and ostensibly that of the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro which shares components with the 6.5-inch flagship, earned an aggregate score of 91 points<\/a> compared to the 82 points notched by iPhone XS Max last year<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The performance puts 11 Pro Max just inside the firm’s top 10 list behind Huawei nova 6 5G (100), Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ 5G (99), Asus ZenFone 6 (98), Samsung Galaxy S10 5G (97), Samsung Galaxy S10+ (96), Huawei Mate 30 Pro (93), Google Pixel 3 (92), Google Pixel 4 (92) and Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (92). <\/p>\n

As noted in the report, 11 Pro Max scored 93 points on a collection of still photo tests and 90 points on a corresponding video evaluation, exhibiting strong color reproduction and focus across the board. Image noise was a weak spot for both still shots and video, while photos suffered from poor texture performance. Interestingly, DxOMark found iPhone’s selfie camera produced fewer video artifacts than it did photo flaws. <\/p>\n

The firm notes noise is a distinct problem for 11 Pro Max’s selfie camera, both outdoors and in low-light situations. Example photos reveal visible noise during indoor shooting that results in lower detail and an overall muddy image. <\/p>\n

Apple is lauded for its work on bokeh, with tests confirming TrueDepth as an industry-leading depth-sensing solution. Software-driven features like Smart HDR are also praised, as is Apple’s decision to move to a wider angle lens. <\/p>\n

Today’s report marks the completion of DxOMark’s iPhone 11 Pro Max evaluation. The firm initially evaluated the handset’s audio performance<\/a> in October and followed up with tests of the handset’s rear-facing camera last week<\/a>.<\/p>\n
