Main Parameter

DXO

DxO Labs: In the infographic, we have taken Dxo rating as a key parameter. Dxo Labs is a France-based developer of image processing software. They have a dedicated lab in France where every newly launched phone goes through a few tests that reveal how the phone performs under various conditions.

Based on certain parameters such as aperture size, sensor size, the camera is made to go through tests in a variety of conditions such as dim light, sunlight, artificial light and so on. At the end of each test, the parameters are given a score and the final score determines where the phone stands among all the other phones that Dxo Labs have tested.
