With a quad-core processor at its heart the highly anticipated Samsung Galaxy S4 boasts an incredible 1080p 5-inch AMOLED display and has upped the camera sensor to 13M-Pix. Does any of this make a real difference to the stills and video performance? Read on to find out how well it performed in our lab. |

Sony hasn’t yet launched a Smartphone that catches the attention like Apple and Samsung, but expectations have been running pretty high for their latest model, the Xperia Z. Featuring a sealed waterproof design, a slim line build, a shatter proof and scratch-resistant screen and a huge 13.1-megapixel camera, its specs are impressive. But how does it do in the DxOMark Mobile tests? |

The trend for minimalist slab-sided smart-phones continues with BlackBerry’s latest flagship model, the 4G LTE ready Z10. While outwardly slick, the new dual core 1.5Ghz Z10 actually features a fairly-standard 8-MPix camera with a BSI CMOS sensor, LED flash and HD (1080p) 30fps video clips. Has the Z10 raised the bar in IQ and prove popular with mobile photographers? Our Engineers have the answers. Click through to see how it stacks against the competition. |

Whilst the camera phone megapixel race hots up with 13 and even 16.3-megapixel Smartphones previewed at Mobile World Congress 2013 (MWC 2013) HTC have bucked the trend with their latest flagship offering. Featuring a 1/3” 4Mp sensor and 28mm f/2 lens HTC claim their new Smartphone captures 300% more light than traditional camera phone sensors. We preview the HTC One and round up the most exciting products unveiled for photographers at MWC 2013. |

Canon has announced its new PowerShot N model. In this competitive market a product needs some particular advantage and the PowerShot N is marketed as a very ‘connected’ camera, its built in Wi-fi should connect easily to your smartphone, making it easy to geotag your images or to share pictures or video while on the go. The question is, is it a good enough camera to outweigh the fact that your smartphone probably does most of the same things? |
|
Sony has announced the latest addition to its Xperia range the Xperia Z. In a further blurring of the boundaries between different types of device , the Xperia Z has a sensor of 13.1 Mpx, more pixels than many dedicated cameras. If the performance is as good as the specifications then this is worth looking at. |

Chasseur d'Images, the first European magazine dedicated to photography, has chosen to rely on DxOMark Mobile technology for its new section devoted to smartphone image quality measurement. In its December issue, the magazine goes behind the scenes at DxO Labs to explain how DxOMark tests camera phone image quality by following a procedure as rigorous as that applied to conventional digital cameras and lenses. |
|
Nokia launched the 41 megapixel Nokia 808 Pureview with much fanfare and won plaudits for the image quality from the built-in 41-megapixel camera, particularly the low-noise performance in available light. Technologically speaking it’s probably fair to say that particular model is recognized as a seminal product, responsible for the divergence of the digital compact camera and Smartphone like no other in last 12 months, maybe more. So with that in mind, how will the latest model from the Finnish firm to adopt the Pureview moniker perform? |
|
A DxOMark Mobile score of 66 for the HTC 8X puts it straight in to number 6 in our mobile ratings, just behind the Apple iPhone 4S on 72, but ahead of the Apple New iPad on 59. In overall scores, it is equal to the Nokia Lumia 920 that also managed 66 in our tests. |

The smartphone market has exploded over the last few years with Apple’s iPhone range setting the stylistic standard from early on and effectively defining what size and functionality its competitors had to meet. Samsung has a rather more open-minded attitude to its customers, producing smartphones both smaller and bigger. With the Galaxy Note II they are cleverly closing the gap between a smartphone and a tablet. It does all the things you expect of a smartphone and it has a big bright screen. |
|
Take a quick tour of the DxOMark testing lab to understand the protocols that we have put in place to provide our DxOMark Mobile image quality evaluations. DxO Labs’ scientists and engineers have put a lot of effort into developing all that it takes to ensure the publication of scientific, bias-free data and repeatable test results, including laboratory conditions and setup, methods, test-specific tools, and dedicated image analysis software. |

In September 2012 Apple released its latest version of the iPhone: the iPhone 5. The iPhone 5 is a little taller than the iPhone4 and 4s to accommodate a larger screen but is also thinner and a bit lighter. But does Apple manage to offer better for thinner with its iPhone 5? Our DxOMark Mobile tests reveal the answer. |

Some in the mobile industry are calling Samsung’s Galaxy S III a game changer. In many respects it is for camera users. The Galaxy S III, with its innovative photo-sharing technology and digital still camera-like features, is tailor-made for casual point-and-shoot photographers. While its image quality isn’t perfect, its improved camera performance over the Galaxy S II illustrates how mobile companies continue to sharpen their focus on enhancing image quality. Here are the DxOMark Mobile test results for the Samsung Galaxy S III. |

Camera historians will probably reflect back on 2012 as a banner year for digital photography technology. But they probably won’t cite a traditional DSC or DSLR as being 2012’s highlight. Rather, the Nokia 808 PureView could be recognized as the device that flipped the idea of digital photography up onto its head – its 41-megapixel sensor and other jaw dropping specs helped shrink the image quality gap between smartphone cameras and DSCs. Does it help the smartphone category to catch up with the compact cameras considering image quality? DxOMark Mobile provides the answers. |

Apple has led today’s gilded age of smartphone technology with its innovative and inspiring iPhone series launched back in 2007. Even five years later, Apple’s iPhone line still provokes imagery of bold creativity among a wide and diverse consumer base that includes some of the world’s top photographers. Check out what DxOMark Mobile determined after putting the smartphone camera through our rigorous tests. |

Sleek. Sexy. Stunning. These are just a few of the thousands of adjectives showered upon Apple’s new iPad 3 by journalists, critics, and consumers. But these aren’t necessarily the adjectives you’d use to describe the device’s image and video quality. Check out the highlights of the Apple New iPad in DxOMark Mobile’s test results. |

The Samsung Galaxy S II is a slim little thing. The smartphone measures less than 9mm thick, making it a miracle the South Korean company was able to squeeze anything else into the 2011 launched mobile. But the electronics giant managed to pack in an 8-megapixel camera into the S II. How does this sensor perform considering image quality ? DxOMark Mobile has some answers. |

Apple’s iPhone 4 dazzled consumers and critics back in 2010 with its redesign and the introduction of its crystal-clear retina display. The screen sings with color, perfect for viewing pictures. But what kind of image quality can we expect from the smartphone’s embedded 5-megapixel camera ? The answer can be found in our tests. |
