Samsung Android

The Samsung Galaxy Note9 has outscored the Galaxy S9 phones in the DxOMark test, earning a respectable 103 points (tied with the HTC U12+).

The Galaxy Note9’s autofocus proved more consistent and better at tracking moving objects than the Galaxy S9+. The dual OIS system was also found to be steadier. Here’s a quick comparison of the scores:

Phone Total score Photo score Video score
Huawei P20 Pro 109 114 98
Samsung Galaxy Note9 103 107 94
HTC U12+ 103 106 95
Samsung Galaxy S9+ 99 104 91

Photos have pleasing colors, with plenty of detail and low levels of noise (though some clipping in the brightest and darkest areas occurred). Still, the camera’s dynamic range managed most lighting situations well. The telephoto camera preserved good levels of detail up to 4x zoom, bokehs turn out great too.

The autofocus is quick to lock onto its subject and when shooting videos, keep track of it too. Stabilization was commended too.
