![]() ![]() Images at zoom ratios greater than 4x weren’t really usable. Here you can see that at 4x, the Pixel 2 does well suppressing noise, but loses quite a bit of detail. However, the loss is less than with most other single-camera designs. At medium to long range, the Pixel 2 definitely loses detail compared to a true telephoto lens. Our Zoom tests cover ranges from 2x all the way to 8x. The software on the Pixel 2 does a good job on all of these, although with some flaws. ![]() Zoom and Bokehīecause the Pixel 2 has only a single main camera, software is what generates Zoom, Depth Effect, Portrait Mode, and Bokeh from one or more frames captured with that camera. This makes the Pixel 2 an excellent choice for recording family or group portraits indoors and in dim light. Often phone cameras excel either when the flash is the only source of light or when there is help from ambient light, but the Pixel 2 does an excellent job in both cases. Details are preserved in both highlights and shadow areas, with well-controlled noise levels.įor those who like taking pictures in very low light and in social situations, it’s good to know that the Pixel 2 is also one of the best all-round performers when using flash. In bright light the Google Pixel 2 offers good detail, excellent color rendering, and very impressive dynamic range, making it a great camera for capturing high-contrast scenes. The Pixel 2’s photo performance is really impressive at 99, and just one point short of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, which scored an amazing 100 in our photo category. The Google Pixel 2 not only takes the DxOMark Mobile scoring crown with a stunning Overall score of 98, but its video performance improves by 5 points over the original Pixel, putting it at 96 and at the top of our video ranking.

The Pixel 2 is also a major step forward from the Pixel (which was our top scorer when it was released a year ago), moving from 90 to 98.Ībout DxOMark Mobile tests: For scoring and analysis in our smartphone camera reviews, DxOMark engineers capture and evaluate over 1500 test images and more than 2 hours of video in both controlled lab environments and in natural indoor and outdoor scenes. This article is designed to highlight the most important results of the testing. Its top scores in most of our traditional photo and video categories put it ahead of our previous (tied) leaders, the Apple iPhone 8 Plus and the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, despite the Pixel 2 coming in lower in the new Zoom and Bokeh categories. Impressively, it manages this despite having “only” a single-camera design for its main camera. The Google Pixel 2 is the top-performing mobile device camera we’ve tested, with a record-setting overall score of 98. Google Pixel 2 camera review (originally published October 4, 2017) ![]()
