The post Apple's iPhone 16 Pro Max couldn't beat Google Pixel 9 Pro XL in DXOMark Camera Test appeared first on Android Headlines.

DXOMARK has released its “Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max Camera Test” based on an analysis of 3,000 photos and 150 hours of video. The test measures the smartphone’s performance in photo, video, and zoom quality from an end-user perspective.

Apple’s latest iPhone 16 Pro Max and the Samsung S24 Ultra were pitted against each other in a camera battle, to see which device would reign supreme.

Some of the iPhone 16 models' fun upgrades—from the new Camera Control to the range of stylistic filters—help you shoot and customize your photos and videos more easily.

Good news for those itching to get the iPhone 16 Plus. Apple retains the same $899 starting cost as previous generations. Keeping the price the same means there’s more value in the iPhone 16 Plus given how there’s a narrower gap between this model and Apple's Pro phones.

While the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are equal in many ways, the Pro model has an internal difference compared to the Pro Max.

The camera system in the iPhone 16 Pro Max is the fourth-best of its kind in the world, but it manages to top the list when it comes to video capabilities.

For better or for worse, the iPhone 16 has a nearly identical look and feel as the iPhone 12. Apple has added a lot other features between 2020 and 2024, but it’s undeniable that the days of frequent hardware changes are over.
