Oppo Find X9 Pro vs Honor Magic 8 Pro: DxOMark Camera Test Results

Key Takeaways

1. DxOMark has been rating smartphone cameras for years, providing a dynamic ranking of top models.
2. The Oppo Find X9 Pro recently moved to seventh place, closely following the Honor Magic8 Pro.
3. No current flagship cameras, including the Oppo and Honor, achieved new top scores in any category this year.
4. The Vivo X300 Pro set new benchmarks in bokeh, telephoto, zoom, and low-light performance, ranking second in evaluations.
5. The Oppo Find X9 Pro is praised for exposure, dynamic range, and color accuracy, but has issues with slower autofocus and video noise.

Whether the quality of a camera can be evaluated in points remains a topic of debate. Nevertheless, DxOMark has been rating them for years and, much like our list of the finest smartphone cameras, provides an ever-changing roster of leading smartphone cameras. Recently, the Oppo Find X9 Pro surpassed the Honor Magic8 Pro, shifting from sixth to seventh position. When examining the scores, it seems that Oppo and Honor are very close this year.

Notable Scoring Trends

What stands out about the score distribution in both cases is that neither of the current flagship cameras achieved new top marks in any category. This is in stark contrast to the Vivo X300 Pro, which has recently claimed second place in the DxOMark evaluation, establishing new benchmarks for bokeh, telephoto, zoom, and low-light capabilities. In comparison, the Oppo Find X9 Pro performs well across the board but is missing any truly exceptional characteristics, based on the test findings from our colleagues in France.

Testers’ Insights

The evaluators commend the Oppo Find X9 Pro for its generally high-quality exposure, dynamic range, and color accuracy, featuring a neutral white balance and realistic skin tones, along with efficient video stabilization, even during moments of active movement. Both videos and photographs are rich in detail. However, there are some drawbacks, such as slower autofocus when set against competitors and increased noise in videos, even under bright lighting. Autofocus also seems to struggle often while filming videos.
