Test summary
About DXOMARK Laptop tests: For scoring and analysis in our laptop reviews, DXOMARK engineers perform a variety of objective tests and undertake more than 20 hours of perceptual evaluations under controlled lab conditions and real-life scenarios.

Camera
Dell Pro14Premium
136
DXOMARK evaluates the image quality of the built in camera during video calls, whether with a single person or with multiple people, in a variety of lighting conditions. Our camera evaluation particularly assesses the ability of the built-in camera to clearly render human faces during video calls. Other intrinsic camera quality aspects are also evaluated, like color reproduction, texture, and noise, as well as artifacts.
The Dell Pro Premium 14 shows overall a good quality in terms of video conference use cases, with an accurate target exposure on face and pleasant color rendering. Subjects are often sharp and focus with a low level of noise in bright conditions. However in more challenging conditions dynamic range can be limited which leads to clipped background (especially in the brights). Some artifacts are often visible, such as color shading and color quantization. Noise can be a bit more visible than its competitors and temporal exposure variations are not always smooth (steps can be visible).
