Google Pixel 2 camera overpowered competitors
Yesterday, we have been writing on how Samsung Note 8 camera climbed to top of the ladder, but soon after unveiling Google Pixel 2, DxOMark concluded camera test and noticed results that overcame Galaxy Note 8 and iPhone 8+ with final number of 98 points. Even if Note 8 had 100 points on photo, video captures had decreased possibilities with 84 points, where Pixel 2 received 96 points for video and 99 for photo. Pixel 2 has only one camera for difference, so it can't capture bokeh effect as other models. Key camera specifications are 1/2.6-inch 12MP sensor, f/1.8 aperture, Dual-Pixel Autofocus, Optical Image Stabilization, HDR+ technology, New Portrait Mode software solution.
