DxOMark has published their iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus review and test results: The Apple iPhone 8 Plus is the best smartphone camera DxOMark has ever tested! And the iPhone 8 comes in a close second, pushing the Google Pixel down from the top stop into the #3 position.

DxOMark-Mobile-Score

The Apple iPhone 8 Plus is the best-performing mobile device camera we have ever tested. Its overall DxOMark Mobile score of 94 sets a new record, beating out the 90 points for both the Google Pixel and the HTC U11, as well as the 92 that its sibling iPhone 8 just scored. Its Photo score of 96 is also a new record, blowing past the Pixel’s 90. For Video, its score of 89 is among our highest, but tied with the HTC U11 and slightly below the Pixel’s 91. Of course, the Pixel is nearly a year old now, so it makes sense that Apple’s new flagship is breaking new ground.

Conclusion from DxOMark:

Overall, the Apple iPhone 8 Plus is an excellent choice for the needs of nearly every smartphone photographer. It features outstanding image quality, zoom for those needing to get closer to their subjects, and an industry-leading Portrait mode for artistic efforts. It is at the top of our scoring charts in nearly every category — and in particular, its advanced software allows it to do an amazing job of capturing high-dynamic range scenes and images in which it can recognize faces.

And we are looking forward to the iPhone X test results and compare it against the iPhone 8 Plus! Stay tuned!
