Tech giant Google likely has no plans to unveil the much anticipated Pixel Fold in the country anytime soon. That could turn out to be India’s loss if the latest DXOMARK test results are anything to go by. Independent benchmarking website DXOMARK has tested the Google Pixel Fold’s display, camera capabilities, and audio performance, and rated it pretty highly. Take a look.
Google Pixel Fold display test
- The Google Pixel Fold scored 151 points in DXOMARK’s Display testing, placing it in a tie for the top spot in the DXOMARK Display ranking.
- As per the test, the foldable phone outperforms all other devices in the Ultra-premium segment and the entire database. This is mainly due to its bright screen, which offers excellent brightness and contrast specifically optimised for HDR10 video content.
- The DXOMARK’s testing also revealed that the Google Pixel Fold stands out as the brightest among foldables tested, measuring approximately 1430 nits.
- The smartphone offers exceptional experience for foldable displays, thanks to its high-quality display and impressive management of foldable-specific aspects. It stands out as the best option we’ve encountered in this format.
Google Pixel Fold camera test
- The camera exposure of the Google Pixel Fold performs nicely in various conditions, including challenging scenarios such as backlit or HDR scenes.
- The dynamic range of the smartphone demonstrates impressive results, as there is minimal highlight clipping.
- As per the test, the colour rendering of the phone is pleasant, and its dedicated tele lens helps to preserve textures better than its direct competitors.
- Undoubtedly, one of the main strengths of the Google Pixel Fold is its fast and accurate autofocus, the test results said.
