Pixel 3 DxOMark 101 ..??

...but it's a piece of nonsense information. It's the same as/no different than fake news posted on Facebook or Twitter.

There we will have to disagree. The measurements they take are real, and the pictures they post from their standard test shots are helpful. Like the video above says, if you only use the top number, you are missing out on some richer information. If you want to judge for yourself, you can compare the standardized shots from lens to lens and sensor to sensor. Again, not perfect, but good info.

I have never bought a cellphone based on DXO or a camera alone. Since I pre-ordered I couldn't if I wanted to.

Very few websites, if any, ever post anything past the overall score. The overall score is the most meaningless thing about the studies, which are subjective anyways.

I like that picture , beautiful.

I agree very few websites publish the in depth report, but you can always find them at https://www.dxomark.com/.

I've never used their score for mobile phone purchase (I don't buy for the camera only), but I have looked at the scores for lenses. Between them and https://www.dpreview.com/, I think you can get an idea of how they compare, and to the various strengths and weaknesses.

I mean, 101 is a good score for sure. I just don't think DxOMark as a rating just seems to harder to find their control standard for scoring. Pixel 3 better video score than an iPhone XS, but poorer still shot score ..?!? Whatever, I guess ...

Better video than iPhone is a joke. Most reviewers say that Pixel video leaves much to be desired.

I think the iPhone does video better than the Pixel and believe that most reasonable people do, as well. I just don't see how they can come to a different conclusion with any level of serious professional opinion. Which, IMO at least, makes the whole thing just sketch.

At this point we are getting into very subjective territory. Among the top contenders you should pick would you like, not what DxOMark Says is the best.

DXO scores have more to do with weighted feature scores than picture quality. So there's a quantity over quality aspect involved. So no second telephoto camera dings a couple of the secondary scores, lowering the score.

But, as someone pointed out, we're splitting hairs at this point. All the top crop take great pictures, and the differences are so small that it's the user's skill that is the determining factor.

That being said, the 4 may have a second rear camera, but my money is on they won't... And continue to concentrate on software... In particular 'Super Res Zoom'. Hidden inside that mode is Google's next gen HDR+ processing.. adding pixel shifting to multi-frame... That'll be as big a jump in quality as the original HDR+ had.

Anytime a score goes over 100, what does it even mean anymore? Now that the top performer is at 109, is this out of 110 or 200? If its out of 1000 all these cameras are still garbage....

To me it is irrelevant now. I thought the camera on the 6P was great, apparently that scored only a 73. I thought the Pixel1 was great, that was only a 90.

As long as I can capture the photos I want and save them Im happy. Im not entering any photo competitions. Honestly, I still have photos saved from my SE T610 back in 2003. Ok, now I admit, those arent that great.

That's damn ridiculous ! iPhone Xr might have the same score, the Pixel still takes more realistic pictures: maybe colours are less vibrant and all but they are far closer to reality.
iPhone takes beautiful pics and Pixel takes realistic ones. Period.

Who cares. The scores [for practically all devices] come out AFTER people have already purchased their device of choice. Nobody is waiting for their deemed "score"... In addition, the people mainly using the camera(s) on any device they've purchased either a) know how to get the most of out their newly owned technology, or b) are willing to learn. DxO...late to the party!

Dxo Mark scores are not out of anything, it's a pure coincidence that cameras are currently scoring around 100 points.

Instead the score is a cumulative adding of points in individual tests. Expect the scores to continue rising well beyond 100 as camera technology continues to improve.

DxOmark scores are infinite, they're not "out of" any number

You're kind of answering your own question when you say the photos from the SE T610 aren't that great. My guess is that the 6P photos were better than the SE T610 and that the photos from the Pixel 1 were better than the 6P, although they were all great at the time. So as new devices come along which produce better images, the score goes up. The 100 is fairly arbitrary, it's not 100 out of a possible 1000 (as per your example). Maybe in years to come DxOMark scores will in the thousands.

I dont know much about pixel 3 but me and my friends were doing bonfire .... when me on my iPhone x and him on his pixel 2 xl decided to click pics of fire and it was a dark night... whereas what iPhone clicked was nothing less than crap...picture on pixel 2xl looked like piece of art.... that being said I hate pixel 3 xl design.... I personally love my note 9 and xs max. I am thinking about switching to pixel or mate 20 pro for a while... yet undecided...

DXO is just one metric that we can look to get a general idea of where phone cameras rank. I wouldn't take it as anything set in stone or without flaw. The difference between the currently list #1 phone and #1 0 listed phone is very small, probably too small for most to notice.
