iPhone 11 Selfie Camera Achieves DxOMark Score of 91 But Fails to Make Top Ten

DxOMark has released its review of the front camera on the iPhone 11. The selfie camera did well but failed to make the top ten, coming in at 13th.

With an overall DXOMARK Selfie score of 91, the Apple iPhone 11 front camera delivers a decent performance but does not quite make it onto our current top ten list of smartphone front cameras. Given that the iPhone 11’s front camera specifications (provided by Apple) are identical to those of the top-end iPhone 11 Pro Max, it should not come as a surprise that the overall results are very similar between the two models. This said, there are a few differences—the main one being focus distance. The fixed-focus lens of our iPhone 11 test device focuses slightly closer than the lens on the Pro Max, which results in subjects at longer shooting distances (for example, when shooting with a selfie stick) being out of focus.




Front Camera Photos
Pros
● Nice color, especially in bright light
● Good detail when shooting at close distances
● Good exposure when shooting with flash

Cons
● Noticeable image noise in all conditions
● Subjects out of focus at longer shooting distances
● Anamorphosis is sometimes noticeable
● Unnatural blur gradient in bokeh mode



Front Camera Video
Pros
● Accurate exposure in outdoor and indoor conditions
● Pleasant color rendering, especially in outdoor conditions
● Fairly effective stabilization
● Good detail, especially in outdoor conditions


Cons
● Noise in all conditions
● Loss of detail indoors and in low light
● Narrow depth of field
● Low frame rate in low light

Overall, the iPhone 11 front camera is a capable option with nice colors and good exposure in most situations. However, the image can be quite noisy and its fixed-focus lens can result in an out of focus image for those using longer selfie sticks.
