Please note: In October 2020, we updated the DXOMARK Camera test protocol. 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. We have retested this device using the new version 4 of the test protocol and produced this completely updated review. For more information, please see our article about preview, trustability and other version 4 updates of the DXOMARK Camera test protocol.
Released in September 2019, the iPhone 11 features a 6.1-inch Liquid Retina HD display, Apple’s A13 Bionic chipset, 64/128/256 GB of internal storage options, and IP68 dust/water resistance. The main camera offers a dual sensor and lens setup, including a standard wide-angle 26 mm-equivalent primary camera, with a second 13 mm-equivalent ultra-wide-angle shooter. Both sensors produce 12 MP-resolution output, with the main camera utilizing a large 1/2.55-inch sensor with 1.4µm pixels, dual-pixel PDAF autofocus, and a stabilized [OIS] lens. For smartphone video enthusiasts, the iPhone 11 implements the same basic specifications as the Pro models, with stabilized 4K video capture at 24/30/60 fps, as well as HD video capture of up to 240 fps, HDR processing, and stereo sound recording.
Read on to find out how the Apple iPhone 11 performed under the brand-new version 4 of the DXOMARK Camera test protocol.
