Ranking of the best photo sensors of the year on smartphones

As the holidays approach, you may be thinking about giving a new smartphone to a loved one who appreciates photography. In this case, why not refer to a top 10 leaders in the sector?MKBHD, known for its mobile tests with several million views on YouTube, decided to compare the results of some of the most popular models of the moment to get an idea. We discover that number one, based on photos analyzed blindly and without knowing the brands in the running, turns out to be thePixel 6Afrom Google.

The Pixel 6A has the key advantage of not costing more than five hundred euros. According toits complete test carried out by our colleagues fromPresse-citron.netthis summer, the ultra wide-angle lens is notably “much better than what you find among competitors“. The beast offers a definition of twelve megapixels with f/2.2 aperture and optical stabilization. With this, the manufacturer offers an eight-megapixel sensor for selfies.

Who has the iPhone 14 Pro?

And with Apple, then?MKBHDclassiPhone 14 Pro seventh, ahead of the Mate 50 Pro from Huawei but behind the Galaxy S22 Ultra from Samsung. However, it is the best mobile in Cupertino for photography, equivalent to an iPhone 14 Pro Max in terms of technical sheet for the lenses. On the numbers side, here, we will have to count on a forty-eight megapixel main sensor with f/1.78 aperture, on a twelve megapixel telephoto lens with f/1.78 aperture and on an ultra wide-angle f/2.2. also twelve megapixels.

An iPhone SE lagging behind

Beyond high-end editions,MKBHDwas also interested in the iPhone SE 3 but it clearly does not obtain the same scores. The compact format is thus placedamong the five lowest-rated smartphones, with the Sony Xperia I IV, the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra, the OnePlus 10 Pro and the Nothing Phone (1).

Too bad, because the quality/price ratio is quite honorable for Apple. Indeed, for less than six hundred euros this time,the third generation iPhone SEintegrates a wide-angle camera of twelve megapixels and an f/1.8 aperture, the digital zoom reaching 5x. THEPortrait modeis also there to automatically blur the background of facial shots. With this, a flash is available on the back to improve rendering in low light conditions.
