Recently, DXOMARK, which once made a deep impression, has changed its mobile photography testing benchmarks and re-ranked phones based on these new benchmarks.
Through this ranking, we can see that the capabilities of mobile phone cameras have undergone another reshuffle.
Specifically, as shown in the image above, OPPO Find X8 Ultra ranks first with a score of 169.
Huawei Pura 70 Ultra is second with a score of 163, followed by Apple's iPhone 16 Pro Max in third with a score of 161, then Google's Pixel 9 Pro XL, and Xiaomi's Xiaomi 15 Ultra.
Next are Honor's Magic6 Pro and Apple's iPhone 16 Pro. A total of four phones tie for seventh place with a score of 157.
From this ranking, it can be seen that OPPO has taken the top spot this time around, after Huawei had dominated the DXO rankings for a long time. Apple has also performed well, entering the top three.
Of course, some people question the fairness of this ranking, believing that DXOMARK is just a pay-to-play system.
However, the question arises: in the past, when many domestic phone brands were actively competing for high rankings, many people considered the rankings to be fair. Now that such practices have decreased, people start to question its fairness. Isn't this double standards?
In fact, although DXOMARK's operations may seem comical, such as allowing unlimited retakes and providing study materials to reveal test focuses, it still has certain reference value. Otherwise, so many domestic phone brands wouldn't have used it as a selling point in the past.
Additionally, considering that mobile phone photography has basically reached its peak, whether a phone ranks first or second is not that important.
It's like exams. In the past, when everyone scored around 70 or 80, if you scored 99, you were clearly ahead and impressive.
But now that everyone scores around 95, does it really matter if you score 96, 97, 98, or 99? The difference is minimal, so people don't pay much attention to it anymore.
