Xiaomi Mi MIX 2S Scores an Impressive 97 on DxOMark, Equals iPhone X's Score
HIGHLIGHTS
- The phone got a score of 101 in photography
- In videos, the phone was given a score of 88
- It failed to perform well in zoom and bokeh shots
Xiaomi's Mi MIX 2S was announced at a launch
event held in China earlier on Tuesday. The phone, although avoiding the
front-facing notch, sports a vertical dual rear camera setup similar to the one
on the iPhone X. With a combination of two 12-megapixel sensors that have
four-axis OIS and optical zoom, the camera performance is expected to be
premium. According to camera review website DxOMark, the Mi MIX 2S has scored
an impressive overall score of 97 - on par with the iPhone X and Huawei Mate 10
Pro. The phone also received a score of 101 in photography and 88 in
videography.
Titled "Xiaomi Mi MIX 2S: A Chinese
gem", the DxOMark review of the Mi MIX 2S went live on the date of the
phone's launch. The relevancy of DxOMark's camera reviews is high mostly
because the publication performs extensive tests in areas like low light, bright
light, flash, and zoom to find out how smartphones display their true colours,
quite literally, in photography and videography. According to the photography
review, Xiaomi's Mi MIX 2S performed exceptionally well in areas such as
autofocus and exposure and contrast, while it failed to impress in zoom shots
and images clicked with Bokeh effect.
Talking about video; the review once again
notes that autofocus in videos is "excellent" and the Mi MIX 2S' EIS
system is fairly effective. Dynamic range is limited and fine details are
usually lost in most conditions.
Taking everything into account, DxOMark states, "The Xiaomi Mi MIX 2S strikes a decent harmony amongst commotion and surface, as well, and in spite of the fact that it doesn't exactly offer class-leading sharpness in open air pictures, it's not terrible, and its low-light outcomes are a portion of the smoothest we've seen."
As per current DxOMark standings, the Samsung
Galaxy S9+ takes the top spot with a score of 99, the Google Pixel 2 is ranked
second having scored 98, and Mi MIX 2S, iPhone X, and Huawei Mate 10 Pro tie
for the third place with scores of 97 each.
