If you’ve shopped for a smartphone with a good camera recently, chances are you’ve checked out the DxOMark camera score of the device. In the recent past, you might have seen these scores slapped on its spec sheet or marketing materials. These numbers promise a quick snapshot of how a phone performs behind the lens, and for many, this sets an expectation for camera quality. But should these DxOMark scores really impact your purchasing decision?
DxOMark began as an independent image quality lab focused on testing cameras and lenses, and it expanded its protocols to evaluate smartphone cameras using extensive testing parameters. While the firm had tested out the camera systems of handsets back in the early 2010s, Google’s first Pixel launch brought DxOMark to the mainstream. This announcement kicked off a trend of all premium phones being tested on the platform.
Their scoring combines real-world testing and lab evaluations to measure photo and video quality under a wide range of scenarios. A typical DxOMark camera test involves hundreds of images and minutes of video across various conditions, from bright outdoor scenes to low light. The devices being tested use default settings to mirror a typical user experience. From these tests, individual sub-scores (Photo, Video, Zoom, and Bokeh) are generated and then combined into an overall score that aims to represent general imaging performance.
DxOMark also introduced the concept of trustability, which measures not just peak performance in isolated scenes but how consistently a camera performs across a broad range of conditions. This includes conditions like low light, motion, HDR, and more, to help separate the devices that perform very well in simple lab scenes but fail in everyday shooting.
2. Why DxOMark scores are valuable
DxOMark Camera Samples Comparison
One of the biggest advantages of such camera testing is the standardization and consistency. DxOMark helps remove the subjectivity of your typical online reviews and provides scores and performance metrics directly comparable across smartphones from different brands. This allowed users to spot the relative photography differences between camera systems.
Furthermore, DxOMark doesn’t just test one aspect of camera quality. It even evaluates exposure, color, autofocus, noise, texture, stabilization, and more, giving an in-depth view of imaging ability that many single reviewers don’t capture. These scores also helped identify trends in camera performance over generations of hardware. So whenever a new sensor or chipset dropped, people can see measurable gains across a smartphone lineup.
3. Why you shouldn’t rely solely on scores
Just like megapixel counts in camera sensors, numbers don’t capture the entire picture. A high DxOMark score might reflect excellent technical performance in controlled conditions, but that doesn’t guarantee practical satisfaction. Real-world photography often includes dynamic subjects, spontaneous moments, and unpredictable lighting. These are quite difficult to reproduce in controlled tests.
DxOMark periodically updates its scoring methodologies, so results from different generations aren’t always directly comparable. So a high score from one year might not mean the same thing as a similarly high score from another year. Among tech enthusiasts and photographers, there’s a mix of opinions on how closely DxOMark reflects real life camera performance. While it is still useful as a relative reference, it might miss nuances in everyday shooting, subjective taste, or the deeper camera experience.
4. Should you trust DxOMark when choosing a phone?
The short answer is yes, but context is key here. DxOMark scores can be a helpful starting point, especially if you want a broad, objective comparison between smartphone cameras. They’re especially useful for spotting large performance gaps with various sample shots across different shooting conditions. However, relying only on the overall score can be misleading. Smartphone photography is as much about style and preferences as it is about raw technical numbers. It makes more sense from an enthusiast and professional standpoint, but this doesn’t always translate well in real world use.

RedMagic, a brand best known for gaming phones with unapologetically extreme specs, is stepping into the thin-phone conversation with the RedMagic 11 Air.
The company officially shared the first teaser today, confirming the name. But what exactly should you expect from an ultra-light phone made by a gaming-focused brand? Thanks to tipster Smart Pikachu on China’s Weibo, we already have a near-complete picture of the specs.
Red Magic 11 Air Specifications (Rumored)
According to the leak, the device is built around a 6.85-inch OLED display and is powered by last year’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. The latter has, in fact, been confirmed via its Geekbench appearance, where it scored 3075 points in single-core and 9934 in multi-core tests. As for the battery, it packs a 7,000mAh cell with 120W fast-charging support.
All of these specs are what you would expect from a regular, decently weighted smartphone: a big display, a top-tier chip, and a large battery. It also seems that the Red Magic 11 Air is a regular smartphone disguised with an “Air” moniker.
The tipster suggests that the phone will be 7.85mm thick and weigh 207 grams. That aligns more with a standard slab phone than the slim iPhone Air, which weighs just 165 grams and measures 5.6mm thick.
The only justification we can think of is that Red Magic’s regular phones are even more heavily specced and heavier, so the 11 Air counts as a thin smartphone by the company’s standards.
Additionally, the Red Magic 11 Air could pack up to 24GB of RAM and will also include a built-in active cooling system to keep thermals under control.

Casio is adding another option to its high-end G-Shock lineup with the MRG-B2100D-2A. It’s a luxury timepiece that builds on the familiar 2100-series design.
The watch draws inspiration from the Five-Storied Pagoda on Mt. Haguro in Japan’s Yamagata Prefecture. Interestingly, the site is also close to Casio’s “mother factory,” where the MR-G series is made.
The pagoda itself dates back to the 10th century and was designated a National Treasure in the 1960s. Casio says the dial’s deep indigo tone reflects the image of the pagoda surrounded by morning mist at dawn. Traditionally known as “hanada-iro,” this shade of blue subtly shifts depending on light and viewing angle.
Like other MR-G models based on the 2100 design, the MRG-B2100D-2A keeps the distinctive octagonal shape and a dial pattern inspired by kigumi, a traditional Japanese wood-joining technique. The result is a layered, three-dimensional texture rather than a flat surface.
Casio MRG-B2100D-2A resembles classic MR-G models at the core
In terms of materials, this is very much a peak MR-G model. The case and bezel are made of Ti64 titanium alloy, while the top bezel is made from Cobarion, which is known for its hardness and shine.
Meanwhile, the bracelet is crafted from DAT55G, and the entire watch is finished with a titanium carbide coating to improve scratch resistance. The case measures 49.5 x 44.4 x 13.6mm and weighs 122 grams.
Functionally, it includes what you would expect from Casio at this level. The watch has Tough Solar charging, Multi-Band 6 radio timekeeping, Bluetooth smartphone connectivity, a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, a full auto calendar, date and day indicators, and an LED light.
In Japan, the MRG-B2100D-2AJR is listed as “coming soon” for January. It is priced at 572,000 yen, which translates to some $3,632. That puts it in line with the black-dial version already on sale.

The Snapdragon 8-series naming scheme has become increasingly confusing, and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5’s arrival has only added to the chaos. Therefore, understanding the correct order of Qualcomm’s flagship chipsets is now more important than ever, as the naming alone can easily lead buyers to the wrong conclusion.
Take the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, for example: at first glance, it may seem superior to both the original 8 Elite and 8 Gen 3, but that’s not entirely accurate. To make sense of where each 8-series chip truly stands, it’s necessary to understand Qualcomm’s recent naming decisions.
Qualcomm’s naming scheme explained
Until the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, Qualcomm’s naming scheme for the Snapdragon 8-series was crystal clear. The 8 Gen 1 arrived, followed by the 8 Gen 2, and then the 8 Gen 3. However, the arrival of the Snapdragon 8 Elite in October 2024 created considerable confusion.
The tech community anticipated 8 Elite’s successor to be called “Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2,” but instead, Qualcomm labelled it as “Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5,” which made it appear as though several generations were skipped. Even folks in the tech industry were surprised by Qualcomm’s naming decisions. Then came the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 in November, with no 8 Gen 4 already in the lineup.
Qualcomm anticipated the confusion and explained the naming scheme in a detailed blog post before even announcing the 8 Gen 5 chipset. The short takeaway: Snapdragon 8 Elite is actually the fourth generation of the premium 8-series platforms. The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 is the true fifth-generation chip, and just two months later, the 8 Gen 5 arrived as a slightly toned-down but still very much capable flagship-grade chipset.
With excellent performance and upgraded chip advancements, the 8 Gen 5 is almost a no-brainer upgrade for the 8 Gen 3 users, but pointless for the original Elite users. Let’s take a closer look at the benchmark scores and key differences to see how wide those gaps actually are.

From the benchmarks, it’s clear that the Snapdragon 8 Elite outperforms the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 in several key aspects, including CPU and graphics performance. This is the reason why Qualcomm chose to compare the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 against the 8 Gen 3, not the Snapdragon 8 Elite.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 vs 8 Elite vs 8 Gen 3: What’s actually different?
Manufacturing:
All three Snapdragon chips have been manufactured by TSMC, but what separates them is the process node. The 8 Gen 5 uses the advanced 3nm (N3P) node, which is slightly improved over the 3nm (N3E) node used for the 8 Elite. Both offer substantially higher performance and power efficiency over the 4nm (N4P) node used for the 8 Gen 3.
CPU:
The 8 Gen 5 and 8 Elite feature the same (2 prime cores + 6 performance cores) CPU configuration, but the 8 Gen 3 uses third-generation Oryon cores, while the 8 Elite uses a generation older CPU cores. Despite that, the 8 Elite offers higher CPU performance, thanks to higher clock speeds across all eight cores.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 features ARM cores (1 x Cortex-X4, 5 x Cortex-A720, and 2 x Cortex-A520), with a peak CPU frequency capped at 3.3GHz.
GPU:
As for the graphics performance, the 8 Gen 5 features Adreno 829, which is effectively a binned version of 8 Elite Gen 5’s Adreno 840. The 8 Elite with Adreno 830 achieves a higher GPU performance with better power efficiency. That’s because of higher processing cores in the sliced architecture and higher frequency. The 8 Elite also benefits from the presence of Adreno high-performance memory (HPM), which is absent on the other two chips.
Camera:
The chips also feature different ISPs, resulting in different capabilities. For instance, the 8 Gen 5 uses a triple 20-bit AI ISP with enhanced color depth and processing capability. The 8 Elite also features an AI-integrated ISP but uses 18-bit processing. The 8 Gen 3 also features an 18-bit ISP but doesn’t bear an AI branding.
Both newer chips feature limitless semantic segmentation at 4K resolution, but not the 8 Gen 3. The latter supports this feature but can’t perform pixel-level semantic segmentation. The 8 Gen 3 also lacks advanced HDR features like the other two chips.
Connectivity:
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 and 8 Elite use the same Snapdragon X80 5G modem, whereas the 8 Gen 3 uses a generation older X75 5G modem. However, the maximum download and upload speeds over cellular and Wi-Fi connections remain unchanged.
The newer modems on the 8 Gen 5 and 8 Elite offer better power efficiency and reduced latency. They also get the latest Bluetooth 6.0, Snapdragon Audio Sense technology, satellite connectivity, and High Band Simultaneous (HBS) Multi-Link for simultaneous 5 GHz and 6 GHz connections. The 8 Gen 3, though still very capable, lacks these connectivity features.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 vs 8 Elite vs 8 Gen 3: Which is the right upgrade?
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 makes the most sense for buyers upgrading from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, offering a better ISP, improved connectivity features, and a clear performance uplift without stepping into Elite-tier territory. However, if you already own a Snapdragon 8 Elite device, the 8 Gen 5 doesn’t bring enough to the table to justify an upgrade.
