As always there was relatively little crowd anxiety for the score that the DxOMark team will assign to the new Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max about its photographic capabilities. The new device, which features a 48MP main sensor, a 48MP ultra-wide sensor and a 12MP telephoto sensor, has undergone rigorous testing to assess its performance in various lighting conditions and various possible shooting scenarios.
Overall, the iPhone 16 Pro Max has scored 157 points and that score ranks it fourth in the Ultra Premium camera phone segment, behind devices like the Honor Magic 6 Pro, Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, and Huawei Pura 70 Ultra.
What DxOMark singled out in this device and what is their review
The iPhone 16 Pro Max has established itself as the leader in the video recording segment among various smartphones. It surpasses even its closest competitors in terms of overall video qualitythanks to excellent stabilization, ideal low-light performance and color accuracy. So with all that in mind, the DxOMark team thinks we have the perfect video recorder here!
Then, while we understand that the iPhone 16 Pro Max may not be ahead in photo scores, it still delivers impressive results, especially in well-lit conditions. Its autofocus system is fast and accurate, and color rendering is natural.
One negative impression the review team got using the new iPhone 16 Pro Max has to do with zoom limitations. There is a noticeable drop in image quality when zooming beyond 2x and the ultra-wide sensor, while high-resolution, doesn’t offer the same level of detail as the main sensor. However, the device’s night mode is effective, but introduces more noise and less detail compared to some competitors. Also, for those who prioritize taking portraits and action shots, the iPhone 16 Pro Max’s fast autofocus and accurate exposure make it a reliable choice.
Overall, the iPhone 16 Pro Max is a well-built camera phone that excels in video and delivers solid photo performance. However, users looking for the absolute best image quality at all zoom levels may find other options more suitable.
