THE new iPhone SE was launched more than three months ago, and today a new stage of the “launching ritual” has been completed: the DXOMARK published today its analysis of the cameras of the device. The problem is, the results were not very encouraging for Apple.
The rear camera of the device won 101 points in the laboratory index, with 103 points for capturing photos and 98 points for videos. The score is not enough to place the new iPhone SE even among the top 20 devices evaluated by DXOMARK compared to the iPhone XR, it is below devices like the HTC U12 +, Motorola Edge +, ASUS Zenfone 6 and Xiaomi Mi 9.
The unenthusiastic note was mainly due to the inherent limitations of the single lens. The testers felt the lack of an ultra-angular camera, as well as a difference in the quality of the bokeh and the zoom compared to the most expensive iPhones, with multiple sensors.
DXOMARK praised the shots in most lighting situations, with competent dynamic range and good recovery from dark areas; the new iPhone SE, however, suffered a little in night scenes or in low light the photos showed noise above average and level of reduced detail.
The testers praised the 4K video capture of the device, but pointed out a certain inconsistency in relation to the more expensive iPhones, the textures are lost indoors, or even more so in dark scenes. Despite this, the exposure of the videos was considered good, as well as the capture of colors and saturation.
Front camera
DXOMARK did a separate test for the front camera of the new iPhone SE. The device won 84 points in the test (85 for photos and 83 for videos), enough to place it among the top 20 already tested by the lab but below the iPhones 11 and 11 Pro (Max) tested previously.
The testers noted that the performance of the front camera does not reach the level of flagships, but quite competitive for cheaper devices; criticisms were made of fixed focus, noise and the lack of more advanced technologies (such as those of TrueDepth cameras), but praise was directed towards exposure, consistency and dynamic range.
Of course, all of this has to be absorbed taking into account that we are talking about a $ 400 (or R $ 3,700) device, flagship. On the other hand, we already have cheaper devices, like the Pixel 3a, giving up on other perks and specifications to deliver high-level cameras for the same price. At the end of the day, there is a choice of fregus.
