Google launched its flagship Pixel 7 series last week. The lineup included a regular and Pro variant. Now the Pixel 7 Pro has bagged the top overall score in camera ranking according to benchmarking platform DxO Mark. The smartphone scored 147 points globally and the Honor Magic4 Ultimate also matched the same score. This means that both Pixel 7 Pro and Honor Magic4 Ultimate are tied at the number one spot.

Google’s Pixel phones are known for photography prowess. The Pixel 7 Pro managed to score 147 and 143 points in the photo and video categories respectively. As per DxO Mark, the smartphone packs significant improvements over the last year’s Pixel 6 Pro. The latest generation features software tuning that is said to contribute to better zoom and video quality. The device holds the top score in the benchmark platform’s Friends and Family use case with strong contrast preservation, skin tone reproduction, and better exposure. The smartphone delivered a consistent camera experience across all usage cases and features. 

DxO Mark also states that the Pixel 7 Pro offers fast and accurate autofocus capabilities along with face tracking. The zoom performance has also been improved with good details at all zoom distances. Apart from the upsides on the Pixel 7 Pro’s camera performance, there are a few downsides as well. Video performance tends to be underexposed in low light with the main camera. There’s also a slight loss of detail and image noise at close-range zoom. The front camera also produced out-of-focus images when shooting at close range. 

To recall the camera specifications, the Pixel 7 Pro sports triple rear cameras. The setup comprises a 50MP main snapper with OIS, a 12MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 48MP telephoto unit with 30x zoom. There is an 11.1MP selfie snapper.
