    Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S to get Mi 8-like camera performance
  • With an overall score of 99, Xiaomi's latest flagship, the Mi 8, surpassed the DxOMark camera scores of iPhone X and matched the results of Galaxy S9+.

    And now, according to Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun, the company's bezel-less Mi Mix 2S smartphone will get the same camera performance as the latest Mi 8 via an upcoming firmware update.

    Here's more.

    First things first, what are DxOMark ratings?

    First things first, what are DxOMark ratings?
  • DxOMark is a rating website owned by DxOMark, an image processing software company based in France.

    Like Geekbench is a platform that rates chipset performance, DxOMark tests smartphones' camera (also dedicated cameras) on several parameters of photography and videography.

    Thus, an overall photo or video score is a representation of DxOMark's weighted score system that converts a number of sub-scores into a single number.

    Mi Mix 2S and Mi 8 have same rear-camera hardware

  • Interestingly, both the phones sport a vertical dual rear-camera setup comprising two 12-megapixel sensors with 1.4-micron pixel size. One of the sensors comes with an f/1.8 aperture, wide-angle lens, and four-axis OIS, the other sensor offers an f/2.4 aperture, telephoto lens and support for optical zoom.

  • Why the difference?

  • The Mi Mix 2S received an overall score of 97 as against Mi 8's score of 99.

    However, what's surprising is that Mi 8 sports the same rear camera hardware that the Mix 2S debuted in March.

    Then why is there a difference in the scores?

    The answer lies in software optimization and how Xiaomi has tweaked the camera performance on both the devices.

  • Slight improvements

    What is different on the software front?

    What is different on the software front?
  • The default camera app on Mix 2S offers artificial intelligence (AI) based scene recognition feature, dynamic Bokeh, smart artifact, and face recognition.

    With these features, the Mix 2S got a photo score of 101 - same as the iPhone X.

    However, DxOMark noted that the Mi 8 offers some improvements over Mix 2S, including better low-light photography and an enhanced optical zooming experience.

    How do other phones perform on the DxO benchmark?

  • With an optimized camera software, the Xiaomi Mi 8 bags a photo score of 105 and a video recording score of 88 on the DxOMark scale.

    Interestingly, with its triple-camera setup, Huawei P20 Pro received a photo score of 114 and video score of 98 to lead the DxOMark charts.

    Coming in second is the HTC U12+ with 106 (photo) and 95 (video) scores.
