iPhone 16 Pro Max took fourth place in the DxOMark test: high-quality video, but limited zoom

DxOMark has published a full review of the camera capabilities of the Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max. Equipped with a 48MP main sensor, a 48MP ultra-wide sensor and a 12MP telephoto lens, this smartphone has been tested in detail to assess its performance in various shooting conditions.

Here's What We Know

The iPhone 16 Pro Max received 157 points, which put it in fourth place among Ultra Premium smartphones. It was behind models such as the Honor Magic 6 Pro, Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, and Huawei Pura 70 Ultra.

• Video: The iPhone 16 Pro Max performs well when shooting video thanks to its good stabilisation, low-light capability and accurate colour reproduction.
• Photos: Although the smartphone doesn't take the top spot in the photo rating, it still delivers excellent quality, especially in different lighting conditions. Autofocus is fast and accurate, and colours look natural.
• Zoom: Although the iPhone 16 Pro Max has good zoom capabilities, the image quality deteriorates noticeably when zoomed in by more than 2x. The ultra-wide sensor, despite its high resolution, does not provide the same detail as the main sensor.

Additional points

• Night mode: While the night mode performs well, it can sometimes add more noise and reduce image detail than some competitors.
• New features: New photo styles and editing features can make using the camera even more convenient.
• Autofocus and exposure: Fast autofocus and accurate exposure make the iPhone 16 Pro Max a great choice for portraits and moving subjects.
