The iPhone 14 Pro takes second place in the DXOMARK photo ranking. A great breakthrough that allows it to pass Huawei’s P50 Pro.
The iPhone 13 Pro were photo references, including in the eyes of DxoMark and their very scientific test protocol. The iPhone 14 Pro managed to grab a few more points, placing themselves second best phone, all categories combined, in terms of picture quality. The best smartphone remains the Honor Magic 4 Ultimate, but theiPhone 14 Pro follows him by a very small point with 146 once morest 147.
8 /10
As a reminder, the iPhone 13 Pro, now tied for fourth with the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, received 141 points. The Huawei P50 Pro, therefore, goes third with 143 points. It is understood, all these phones are of course in a pocket handkerchief. But in the game of who finds himself on the podium, it is the iPhone 14 Pro which pulls out of the game.
Best in three categories
The overall score assigned by DxoMark is a summary of several sub-scores. In three of them, the Apple phone obtains the best score: the bokeh, that is to say the portrait mode, with the addition of a greater level of detail on the faces as well as on the background. plan, which appears more realistic, explains DXO.
The iPhone 14 Pro also takes the crown on the preview. By this we mean that the difference between what is displayed on the screen when the shutter button is pressed and the final result is minimal.

As the Boulogne-Billancourt testers write, there’s virtually no difference between when you press the shutter button and when the photo is taken. The timing being an essential element to take a good photo, it is indeed a great advantage. In night photography, the device is also doing very well since it obtains a score of 113, only two points from the best score.
According to DXO still, there are not many points left for improvement for Apple. Only the photos taken indoors are a little fishy, due to a slightly too pronounced grain and a loss of detail. Let’s add that Huawei has not yet unveiled a P60 Pro for this year, so the 14 Pro passes a year-old opponent.
