OnePlus Nord, the highly famous mid-range smart mobiles that launched in July, has finally been put through the step by benchmark site DxOMark to test its camera performance. The phone accomplishes a general score of 108 points – nowhere in line with flagships but a bit huge than some models including iPhone SE (2020).
The DxOMark camera score of the OnePlus Nord is also 3 points less than the 111 scores accomplished by Pixel 4a that comes with a single rear camera that does its job quite successfully.
OnePlus Nord DxOMark camera test scores As per the DxOMark, OnePlus Nord obtains a score of 117 for its still photography, while its video performance got 92. The phone comes along with a quad rear camera setup that houses a 48-megapixel primary Sony IMX586 sensor that was prior available on the OnePlus 8.
The camera setup also has an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle shooter, a 5-megapixel depth sensor, and an amazing 2-megapixel sensor with a macro lens. OnePlus Nord doesn’t carry a telephoto lens.
This resulted in a zoom score of 47 on the DxOMark scale, which is significantly less than the 71 points obtained by previous year’s OnePlus 7 Pro and this year’s OnePlus 8 Pro that both have a lightweight telephoto lens. The ultra-wide-angle shooter on OnePlus Nord is also found to have some room for upgrade.
On the show front, DxOMark noted in its review that the OnePlus Nord gives correct target exposures for the most part in the testing, though its dynamic range was lacking. The phone also fights with white balance. The autofocus on OnePlus Nord is also found to have some lag when differentiating with more costly smartphone cameras.
DxOMark engineers also get that the camera of the OnePlus Nord maintains information in both indoor and outdoor conditions, via some noise was noticed in some cases. It also struggled with getting shots in less light. Still, color reproduction on the phone was great at the time of its testing.
In terms of video, DxOMark said that the OnePlus Nord offered acceptable stabilization in static videos, but it didn’t work well in motion videos.
The phone also failed to focus on objects in some matter and didn’t give high tracking capabilities. However, DxOMark claimed that the OnePlus Nord performed well under general conditions.
