DxOMark has benchmark-tested more than 9,000 cameras. And Qualcomm Snapdragon powered devices make up six of the top seven highest-ranked mobile cameras that it has reviewed to date.
The trusted software company takes into account exposure, contrast, color, autofocus, and quality of flash, among other factors, when performing its laboratory tests on a device’s hardware and software.
So what’s the tech that’s behind these excellent photos? The image signal processors (ISPs) integrated in Snapdragon processors power many advanced camera features, such as enhanced video capture and post-processing HDR.
