In between Xiaomi’s announcement of the freshly announced flagship – Mi MIX 3, reputed camera examiner DxOMark announced that its scores. In most of the tests, Mi MIX 3 passes with flying colors and even beats slightly older sibling Mi 8 with an overall rating of 103 on DxOMark’s tests.
On the front too, is a dual camera setup with 24MP f/1.8 and 2MP f/2.4 sensors. Additionally, there is AI support to enhance images while there slow-motion video support at up to 960fps. Let’s take a look at various tests that DxOMark has used and its conclusion for them.
Firstly, the Mi MIX 3 is capable of capturing colors with “exceptional” accuracy irrespective of the lighting condition. With accurate white balance and reliably fast autofocus, the Mi MIX 3 is capable of taking some stunning shots with close-to-natural colors and great contrast.
While clicking images with high contrast between the foreground and the background, Mi MIX 3 does an appreciable job by using frame stacking or using a pile of frames at different exposure levels to maintain proper lighting. However, areas with dark shadows often lose details and the overall HDR might not be as good as some more expensive flagships. The amount of details in low light is good enough and better compared to the iPhone X and the Huawei P20 Pro.
The secondary 2X telephoto lens preserves details well in close-range shots but details are lost when the camera is used for long-range shots. Further, there’s an increase in the noise. At 4X magnification, similar results are produced in well-lit situations, although the details are completely lost at 8X.
