LG V20 achieves 85 points in DxOMark Mobile testing

25 Dec

The V20 is a high-end smartphone from LG that has been designed with a focus on audiovisual performance. Its camera specification is very similar to the sister model G5. The dual-camera setup combines a 16MP sensor with F1.8 aperture and optical image stabilization in the main camera with an 8MP/F2.4 unstabilized wide-angle module, allowing for quick changes of field of view. 

In the DxOMark test the V20 scored 85 points and takes a joint number 12 spot, alongside the Huawei Mate 9. The DxO engineers liked the good detail in bright light, good noise reduction, bright exposures in extremely low light and the fast autofocus. On the downside, they also found some highlight clipping in high-contrast scenes, occasional focus failures and a slightly pink color cast in some outdoor images.

In video mode the testers noted the good exposure, noise reduction and stabilization but criticized visible motion blur in all lighting conditions, inconsistent sharpness and limited dynamic range in bright light. You can read the full report at DxOMark.com.

Sony Xperia X Performance achieves top score in DxOMark Mobile ranking

29 Jul

DxoMark has published its test results for Sony’s flagship device in the Xperia X series, the Xperia X Performance. At 88 points the Sony achieves the same score as the HTC 10 and Samsung Galaxy S7 and now shares the top spot in the DxOMark Mobile rankings with those phones. 

The DxOMark testers were particularly impressed by the Xperia X Performance’s fast and accurate AF system, good exposure and dynamic range, well-controlled noise in low light and good detail in flash images. On the downside, the HDR mode does not always trigger when it should, small amounts of chroma noise are visible in outdoor conditions and the white balance is inconsistent when shooting with flash. 

The Xperia X Performance comes with a very similar camera specification to the Xperia Z5. A 23MP 1/2.3-inch Sony Exmor multi-aspect sensor is coupled with a F2.0 aperture in a wide angle lens with an equivalent focal length of 24mm. A predictive AF system, developed in collaboration with the engineers in Sony’s Alpha camera division, allows for improved subject tracking and low light mode ISO to be increased to 12800. You can read the full test report on the DxOMark website.
