Smartphone Camera Quality

Great result! Sad however, that the iPhone takes really poor photos by default without additional software :/ (iPhone 14 Pro is super blurry)

if you want image quality you will not find it in phones... this is a limitation of psychics

Looks like camera is open. I wonder if it possible to tweak software to get unholy quality out of sensors like Pixel phones do, or does one need to have high power/integrated GPU or TPU hardware for it.

Have you tried Pixels? To my taste the photos they take are a couple notches better than iPhones.

I'd blame the photographer rather than the phone here. Learn to use lighting and exposure settings properly. Experiment. Take several shots of the same place with different settings until you get it right. Learn picture composition. The first and the last picture seem good so it's not the phone.

All these photos also seem to be taken at a further distance at a higher zoom with the digicam. Use 2x mode on iphone and step back a bit and the perspective/distortion should be similar. 12mp is still plenty. Also, they didn't mention if they turned off face smoothing on the iphone.Google a couple years ago, however, made a big stink that they were forcing an always-on filter to "enhance" the appearance of dark skin on Pixels, so yeah you might need a real camera to get a

wouldn't get the low light and dynamic range, if you've ever used an iphone to take pics 8 years ago

I guess that's a feature..plus the iPhone camera seems a joke in comparison with mate pro.

I didn't see any invented "new details" in the article's iPhone photos. Phones have small sensors and crap lenses, so they ramp up noise reduction and sharpness to make up for it. Turn up the ISO and max out the NR on the Fujifilm and the results would be nearly as bad.

There are phones with similar pic quality. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcJs_KrPh8A
