![]() ![]() Video autofocus is fast, repeatable and accurate, with good tracking capabilities. Video target exposures are mostly accurate, although dynamic range in bright outdoor conditions is slightly more limited compared to stills.Ĭolor rendering is again a strength for video image quality, with neutral white balance and vivid color generally captured in all tested conditions. Its more aggressive video noise reduction, combined with 1080p capture, results in lower detail and texture scores compared to many of the top-ranked 4K devices we’ve tested, but at least you can be assured of clean, noise-free movies files from the Pixel 4. It’s not very successful in our challenging backlit portrait scenes, however, where we noticed some underexposure.Ĭolor rendering is the standout feature with rich tones, accurate white balance and pleasant skin tones.Ĭonversely, when shooting video, the Pixel 4 handles noise well in all lighting conditions when tested in 1080p mode, which achieves the best compromise among texture, noise, stabilization, and frame rate. Using the standard-wide, dynamic range is good in both indoor and outdoor conditions, so details in shadow and highlight areas are generally well maintained. The lack of an ultra-wide shooter puts it at an immediate disadvantage against triple- or quad-cam devices in our scoring system, but it delivers pleasant results for standard-wide and tele-lens shots, thanks in part to its advanced computational processing technologies. In our latest analysis, the Google Pixel 4 remains a solid performer in the flagship smartphone photography space. It’s a similar story for Video, where its score of 99 drops it behind the best, but again it achieves a fairly consistent set of results, with the exception of its video texture score, which is low compared to the 4K devices we’ve tested. Its overall Zoom score of 55 is impacted by the devices dual-camera set up with standard-wide and tele-lens modules, so there’s no score for the Pixel 4 in our ultra-wide category and tele-lens scores aren’t as impressive as the best performers. It fairs slightly better for stills where its Photo score of 120 helps the Google device leapfrog a couple of competitors, and for the most part it achieves a solid set of photo category scores, with an outstanding result for Photo color. With an overall updated DXOMARK Camera score of 113, the Google Pixel 4 charts in the bottom half of devices we’ve tested under our version 4 protocol. Read on to find out how the Google Pixel 4 performed under the brand-new version 4 of the DXOMARK Camera test protocol. Combining this advanced processing with a dual-lens camera on the Pixel 4 could be really interesting. Sophisticated software processing and computational photography in previous Pixel cameras has helped Google smartphones rank well in our tests. ![]() Like its predecessor, the Pixel 4 continues to offer automatic frame-rate switching between 30 and 60fps in videos shots at 1080p, and there’s a gyro-based stabilization system for smoother capture. For video, Google’s latest flagship can shoot 4K (2160/30 fps), but not in the default mode we use for testing, where it records footage at 1080p. Its second shooter features a 50 mm-equivalent tele-lens, providing around a x2 optical magnification for zoom shots, with a 16 MP 1/3.6-inch sensor capturing the images. The primary camera is built around a 1/2.55-inch sensor with 12.2 MP resolution and 1.4µm pixels, coupled to a 27 mm-equivalent f/1.7 lens with optical image stabilization. The first Google device to feature a dual-cam setup, the Pixel 4 implements both standard-wide and tele-lens cameras (but no ultra-wide) on the rear, with a single-lens camera on the front, essentially switching around the camera configuration from the Pixel 3. For more information, please see our article about preview, trustability and other version 4 updates of the DXOMARK Camera test protocol. We have retested this device using the new version 4 of the test protocol and produced this completely updated review. Version 4 now includes image preview tests and a wide range of new test scenes as part of our new trustability evaluation which measures the camera’s ability to deliver consistent still image and video quality across all shooting scenarios. ![]() ![]() Please note: In October 2020, we updated the DXOMARK Camera test protocol. ![]()
