New Motorola cell phone beats iPhone 18 Pro in camera test

The Motorola model received 173 points, against 172 for the Cupertino giant’s cell phone. As a result, the device ranked second overall, behind only theHuawei Pura 80 Ultra, which achieved 175 points.

The Signature 27 also won the DXOMARK Gold label, aimed at devices with outstanding performance in photography and video recording.

The evaluation considers different usage situations, such as photography in bright and nighttime environments, portraits, zooming in and video recordings. In this way, the result takes into account not only the resolution of the sensors, but also the image processing capacity and the consistency of the cameras in different scenarios.

The rear set of the Signature 27 consists of a 50 MP main camera with Sony LYTIA L910 sensor and LOFIC technology, a 200 MP periscopic telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom and a 50 MP ultrawide lens. On the front, there is another 50 MP sensor, while a dedicated EVS component seeks to improve the capture of people and moving objects.

In testing, DXOMARK highlighted the exposure balance, natural color reproduction and autofocus accuracy. Portraits also had positive results, mainly due to their ability to preserve skin tones and keep different people in focus.

This does not mean, however, that the device has impeccable performance in any situation. The evaluation points to loss of details at higher magnifications, in addition to blurring of moving objects and people in low light.

When recording at night, noise can also compromise part of the definition of the images.
