DxOMark, the firm that tests smartphone cameras, checked out the first smartphone with an under-display front camera – ZTE Axon 20 5G. Following extensive testing, the company, in its official report, tagged it as “one of the worst selfie cameras” on a smartphone.
Now, why did it receive such a low DxOMark score, you ask? Well, there are a ton of issues with the under-display camera design. As per the team, the pictures captured by the camera come out with a lot of noise and unnatural skin tones. Moreover, they have color and flare issues and provides a very low dynamic range. The testers compared the shots with the same shots taken with a OnePlus 8 Pro and a Google Pixel 5. You can see the results right below: Image: DxOMark
Coming to the video-recording aspect, the team reports that the videos suffer from the same issues as the pictures. Additionally, however, the testers saw poor stabilization for the videos, random ghosting effect, and “encoding artifacts” in low light conditions.
