Yesterday, DXOMARK declared the iPhone 12 mini camera evaluation data. The iPhone 12 mini finally scored 122 points, ranking 14th.
DXOMARK official announced: iPhone 12 mini is very similar to other iPhone 12 series products we have tested. Like the iPhone 12, it also ranks beyond 10 in our rankings, lower than several of the top flagship products of other brands, and behind the iPhone 12 Pro Max And 12 Pro.
The iPhone 12 mini is furnished with 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle (ƒ/2.4) and wide-angle (ƒ/1.6) dual cameras, supports optical image stabilization, 2x optical zoom (zoom out) and up to 5x digital zoom.
According to the evaluation, the dynamic range of the iPhone 12 mini is not particularly wide in terms of taking pictures.
Under most test conditions, there will be over leaked. Sometimes there will be a blue-white balance color shift, but it will be visible under low light and indoor conditions.
Additionally, similar to the iPhone 12, the iPhone 12 mini does not have a dedicated zoom lens, and the performance of shooting distant targets is not ideal.
In terms of video, the iPhone 12 mini performs better, with accurate target leaked and wide dynamic range, excellent anti-shake, and focusing performance.
The downside is that white balance blue color casts occasionally occur when shooting outdoors and insufficient light. When you can see the noise, there will be a loss of details.
Additionally, the sharpness difference between consecutive frames is also obvious, and the autofocus is sometimes unstable outdoors, and artifacts such as flare and color quantization appear.
The official stated that because the camera system of the iPhone 12 mini is the same as the iPhone 12, their scores in the DXOMARK test are almost the same, with the same overall scores, photos, zoom, and video scores.
The differences in most other attributes are also small and can be explained by sample differences. But in terms of focus, the gap between iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 is very obvious, especially when recording video, the focus of the iPhone 12 mini is not as accurate as iPhone 12.
The camera performance of the iPhone 12 mini is still very good. If you want to have a small camera phone, the iPhone 12 mini is a good choice; but for camera enthusiasts, the iPhone 12 mini is not suitable because It does not have a telephoto lens.
