Here's what a VPN can't protect you from (but you need to use it)

Which phone has the best camera? Blind Test (2019)

Which phone has the best camera? Blind Test (2019)

How do you know which phone has the best camera? Various tests determine this, such as DxOMark, and there is a Blind test.

The blind test relies on the general appearance of the photo while those standard tests test every detail and feature of the image in detail.

How is a blind test done?

It's very simple: first, you need to take a picture of the same scene with all the phones in the group and let the users choose the one that suits them best. The phone with the most votes wins.

Usually, the test is done in several different scenes, say inside with backlight, outside with low and good lighting, and the scene with many colors, contrast, textures…

The user then chooses for each scene which photo is the most beautiful for him and records the number of the same. In the end, the phone models are shown and what numbers they had.

Blind test 2019

Popular Youtube creator MKBHD (Marques Brownlee) did this test with this year's popular phones and the result was expected.

In this test we have: Google Pixel 4, iPhone 11 Pro, Galaxy Note 10, Google Pixel 3a, Galaxy S10e, OnePlus 7T Pro, OnePlus 7T, Huawei Mate 30 Pro, Huawei P30 Pro, Xiaomi Mi Note 10, Sony Xperia One, Redmi K20 Pro, LG G8X, Asus ROG 2, Asus Zenfone 6 and Royale Flexpai.

As you can see quite a wide range of phones, there are also budget versions and flagship models.

Users voted on the MKBHD Twitter account and the winner is: Galaxy Note 10+

Marques commented on the result with displeasure as he believes he won the phone that took the brightest and not the best photos.

Twitter further compressed the image so that details were lost and sharpness did not play a big role.

It is also interesting that the photo that had more clear details in the frame instead of the one with a blurred background always won. Otherwise, it should be the other way around, but that's what users liked better.

Conclusion

Phone manufacturers are trying to put the best possible cameras by definition in their devices, but users don't seem to care that much.

Times are changing and now the most important thing for most people is how the picture will turn out when it is shared on social networks.
