Google recently launched its next-generation flagship smartphones — Google Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL. Both the phones come with almost the same set of features and specifications, except for the screen size and battery.
As usual, one of the major highlight of the smartphone is the camera department. While the Pixel series phones have always been known for their camera performance, this time the company has gone a step ahead to make sure it maintains the lead.
Now, DxOMark has published the result of their camera review for the Google Pixel 4 in which the smartphone has scored 112 points overall. The photography department has scored 117 points while the video department scored 101 points.
With an overall score of 112, the Google Pixel 4 is ranked among the top ten smartphone devices in DxOMark database. The report adds that Google’s latest device offers a nice step forward for stills over its predecessor, with noticeable improvements in most areas and a notable jump in the quality of zoom shots.
The phone remains slightly behind the Huawei Mate 30 Pro, mainly because of the lack of both an ultra-wide camera and a time-of-flight (ToF) sensor. These omissions put the Google’s device at an immediate disadvantage compared to the triple- and quad-cam devices in our wide-angle and bokeh testing, and that affects its overall ranking, says DxOMark.

What works for the Pixel 4 in terms of photos is vivid and pleasant colors in bright light, good exposure in all conditions, fast and accurate autofocus in bright light, good color and exposure in flash-auto mode, and good detail at close and medium range zoom. However, it has couple of issues such as loss of detail and visible noise and occasional depth estimation artifacts in bokeh mode.
As for the specifications, the phone features a 12.2-megapixel primary sensor on the back with f/1.7 aperture along with a 16-megapixel telephoto lens with f/2.4 aperture. On the front side, the device comes with an 8-megapixel snapper for taking selfies.
The Google Pixel 4 features an OLED display with 90Hz refresh rate and comes powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC along with 6GB RAM and 64GB or 128GB internal storage. It runs Android 10 operating system out-of-the-box and is backed by a 2,800mAh battery with 18W fast charging support.
