Benchmarks are always relative and they will never give an accurate result of the processing speed of a CPU or if a camera takes better pictures because it has better scores as with DxOMark. Although they do help us to get a general idea or confirm what we have seen with our eyes when we have taken a capture in low light conditions, which is usually the same testing ground to know how a camera brings them.
If the Moto X Style has already surprised us by its great set of qualities in all the elements, in the part of the camera, by the results given on DxOmark it sits on the iPhone 6 Plus and as the third phone with the best camera. The surprising thing about this case is that this DxOMark benchmark usually has these tests a few days after it was launched, but this time it immediately appeared with one where we can see the capabilities and quality of the camera of this Moto Style that is positioned as one of the best phones, with permission from the Moto X Play.
Hand in hand with the Galaxy Note 4
In DxOMark the Moto X Style sits behind the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge and in a heads up with the Galaxy Note 4. Its emergence has meant that the iPhone 6 Plus goes to fifth place. I have to remember before going to the details, that the LG G4 does not appear in this benchmark so we cannot know in which position it is, which we are not going to deny the great quality of its camera, a fact that we have to remember when we are talking about the best smartphones in the camera category.
The Moto X Style has a rear camera that has everything a mobile device should have, although we can miss OIS (optical image stabilization). A 21 MP sensor, f / 2.0 aperture, wide angle, Phase detection AF, Dual Color Temperature Flash, and video stabilization to name a few.
The sensor is a Sony IMX230, which you have yet to find your site on a Sony smartphone and that brings these high-quality features to the Moto X Style.
DxOMark tests
The Moto X Style take a score of 83 in the photo section, and where the iPhone 6 Plus itself reaches 84 points. A negative point of the Moto X Style is the performance under the flash, which negatively impacted in an overexposure and the stability of the autofocus, although it is where it excels in outdoor images and an autofocus price in any type of light condition.
In the video is where the Moto X Style stands out and a lot. Stabilization and preservation of details in both normal and low light conditions. The worst thing is the autofocus which slows down in low light conditions and the flash produces some color shading. Camera examples below reduced to 1200 × 800 at 1MB each.
It remains for us to know how quickly you take the photographs, but as said by Motorola itself is in another hand in hand with Samsung in this regard. Surely we know more about the photography of this phone, which among its features has a Snapdragon 808 chip, 3 GB of RAM, a 5,7-inch QuadHD screen and a micro SD slot for a price of € 399.
