DCI-P3 is newer and larger than the sRGB color space that most devices use. Our testers did note some exposure instabilities when shooting outdoors, however.Ī note about image formats for this review: The iPhone 11 Pro Max records photographs in the DCI-P3 colorspace, which their displays also use.
In the chart below, we see that exposure does drop more in very low light than with the top-scoring Huawei P40 Pro, but this is still a reasonably strong showing.
The iPhone 11 Pro Max earns a solid exposure score.
#IPHONE 11 COLORS PRO MAX 1080P#
At default settings, the iPhone 11 Pro Max records video at 1080p Full HD resolution and 30 frames per second, but it achieves the best results at 4K resolution and 30 frames per second which we have tested for this review. The overall Video score is derived from results across a range of tests in the same way as the Photo score: Exposure (95), Color (95), Autofocus (101), Texture (76), Noise (90), Artifacts (80), and Stabilization (98). With an overall Video score 109 points, the Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max does quite well in our new test protocol, slotting into our database just a few positions down from the top. Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ 5G, crop, lack of detail, coarse noise Video scores explained White balance is usually accurate, though color casts are sometimes visible when shooting indoors.
#IPHONE 11 COLORS PRO MAX SKIN#
Color remains a strong point for this iPhone, with very nicely saturated colors in outdoor scenes and pleasantly rendered skin tones. Exposures are accurate all way down to low light levels and dynamic range is fairly wide, though this year-old iPhone can’t keep up with the best devices now available when it comes to extreme contrast: we saw more blown highlights in those situations than with the latest HDR leaders. The main camera captures plenty of detail under most conditions, though noise is a bit higher than we’d like to see. Its Photo score under our new testing protocol is 132, putting it in the in the top ten for this particular sub-score. Though obviously not as impressive relative to the best of the competition as it was when we first reviewed it over a year ago, this iPhone remains a very capable imaging tool.
With an overall DXOMARK Camera score of 124, the Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max secures a respectable ranking in our database. For more information about the DXOMARK Camera test protocol, click here.

This article is designed to highlight the most important results of our testing. 4K video, 2160p/60 fps (1080p/30 fps default)Ībout DXOMARK Camera tests: For scoring and analysis in our smartphone camera reviews, DXOMARK engineers capture and evaluate over 3000 test images and more than 2.5 hours of video both in controlled lab environments and in natural indoor and outdoor scenes, using the camera’s default settings.Tele: 12 MP 1/3.4″ sensor, 52 mm-equivalent f/2.0-aperture lens, PDAF, OIS.Ultra-wide: 12 MP sensor, 13 mm-equivalent f/2.4-aperture lens.Primary: 12 MP 1/2.55″ sensor, 26 mm-equivalent f/1.8-aperture lens, PDAF, OIS.(You can find out more about some of the iPhone 11 Pro Max’s new imaging features, including the redesigned camera interface, seamless zooming in video, live bokeh, and HDR preview, in this previous article.) Read our full review following to find out how the new components play together. On the image processing side of things, the Apple’s Deep Fusion technology uses the chipset’s neural engine and advanced machine learning to perform pixel-by-pixel optimization for better textures, lower noise, and a wider dynamic range. Next to the primary wide-angle and the tele-camera, which both offer the same focal length as on the predecessor XS Max, there’s now also an ultra-wide camera with a 13 mm-equivalent field of view. It is the first iPhone to come with a triple-camera setup. The Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max, which has been supplanted by the iPhone 12 Pro Max flagship in October, features a 6.5-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display, A13 Bionic chipset, and up to 512 GB of internal storage. 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.
