iPhone XS Max camera can’t beat reigning champ Huawei P20 Pro

• The DxOMark score for the iPhone XS Max camera is 105.
• The score for the Huawei P20 Pro in March was 109, securing the P20 Pro as the reigning king of cameras.
• Early reviews also point to the iPhone XS Max camera being inferior to the Google Pixel 2.

Apple spent a large portion of its iPhone keynote event talking about the superior camera abilities of the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max. In fact, it likely spent more time promoting the camera than it did any other aspects of the devices.

However good the camera might be in Apple’s eyes, it still doesn’t rank as well as the reigning king of smartphone cameras: the triple-lensed Huawei P20 Pro. This ranking comes from DxOMark, which ranks mobile cameras using a scoring system.

The iPhone XS Max camera netted a score of 105, four points less than the score of 109 that the Huawei P20 Pro received in March.

Best Android smartphone cameras (April 2018)

In recent years, smartphones have effectively replaced point-and-shoot cameras, and many even outperform them. For many of us, these portable computers have become our main camera, making photo quality a priority when picking a new …

Granted, the iPhone XS Max score is nothing to sneer at, as clearly the camera is a powerhouse — just the second-best powerhouse. Regardless, this new DxOMark score combined with early reviews stating that the new iPhone cameras don’t match up with the Google Pixel 2 – another camera that continuously beats rivals even at nearly a year old – lends credence to the idea that the new iPhone cameras just aren’t at the top of the game.

As usual, the DxOMark review of the iPhone XS Max camera goes through an exhaustive series of tests which push nearly every feature of the camera to the limit. In more than one case, the iPhone clearly loses out to the competition.

As an example, check out this image taken with the iPhone XS Max of a backlit indoor scene (left) compared with the same image taken with a Huawei P20 Pro (right):

The subject’s face is much clearer in the P20 Pro shot, without sacrificing the brightness of the background.

As another example, here’s a mid-range zoom shot taken with the iPhone XS Max that’s then been cropped (left) as compared with the same image taken with the Huawei P20 Pro (right):

The iPhone’s shot is completely illegible, while much of the wording of the sign is clearly legible with the P20 Pro shot.

Renders allegedly show Sony’s upcoming smartphones (Update: XA3 Ultra included)

MySmartPrice

Update, October 3, 2018 (10:00AM EST): We got our first look at the Sony Xperia XA3 and Sony Xperia L3 yesterday via some new renders, but now it looks like we also are getting a look at the Sony Xperia XA3 Ultra, from the same source (@OnLeaks) via MySmartPrice.

The renders of the Sony Xperia XA3 Ultra are below:

The renders make it seem that the XA3 Ultra will be very similar to the vanilla XA3, but likely a bit bigger with some beefed-up specs. You can also see a 360-degree render video below:

Note the lack of a rear fingerprint sensor, as it appears the Xperia XA3 Ultra will also have a side-mounted sensor, just like its vanilla counterpart.

For more information on the XA3 lineup (and the L3), continue reading the original article below.

Original Article, October 2, 2018 (11:12PM EST): With the Sony Xperia XA2, Xperia XA2 Ultra, and Xperia L2 coming up on their first birthdays, successors for all three smartphones should be right around the corner. Thanks to renders from known leakster @OnLeaks and leaked specs from MySmartPrice, we might have our first look at the supposedly upcoming Xperia XA3 and Xperia L3.

Starting with the Xperia XA3, the renders show off its alleged 5.9-inch display with an 18:9 aspect ratio and 2,160 x 1,080 resolution. Even though the power button remains on the right side, it now doubles as a fingerprint sensor. By comparison, the Xperia XA2 features a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor.

Elsewhere, the Xperia XA3 reportedly features the Snapdragon 660, up to 6 GB of RAM, 64 GB of internal storage, Bluetooth 5.0, and a USB Type-C port. The phone might also run Android 9 Pie out of the box, retain the headphone jack, feature two rear cameras, and retain the camera shutter button, but little else is known for now.

As for the Xperia L3, it looks to succeed this year’s Xperia L2. Based on the renders and PriceBaba‘s report, the Xperia L3 features a 5.7-inch display with an 18:9 aspect ratio and HD+ resolution. The right side reportedly features the volume rocker and a power button that doubles as a fingerprint sensor.

The Xperia L3 also reportedly retains its headphone jack and adds a second rear camera. Whereas the Xperia XA3 reportedly sports a horizontally-aligned dual camera arrangement, the Xperia L3 seemingly opts for a vertical arrangement for its two cameras.

Finally, Sony might opt for a plastic build for the Xperia L3.

Best phones with edge displays — what are your options?

The Galaxy Note Edge was the very first phone with an edge display way back in 2014. It’s single-edge design never really took off, but Samsung refined the concept the following year, introducing a dual-edge design with …

Keep in mind that Sony unveiled the Xperia XA2, Xperia XA2 Ultra, and Xperia L2 during CES 2018 in January. It would make sense to see the Xperia XA3 and Xperia L3 announced during CES 2019 in three months.

It would also make sense to see relatively low prices for the two new phones. Whereas the Xperia XA2 went for $350 when it launched, the Xperia L2 sold for $250. We can probably expect similar price points for the Xperia XA3 and Xperia L3.
