Apple’s newly introduced flagship iPhone 16 Pro Max achieved great success in terms of video performance in tests conducted by DxOMark. Although it ranked fourth in the overall ranking with 157 points, it left its competitors behind in video shooting performance and took the top spot. Here are the test results…
iPhone 16 Pro Max has the best video shooting performance on DxOMark
DxOMark stated that the 16 Pro Max offers exceptional quality in video recording, especially with 4K 60fps and Dolby Vision support. The reasons why the phone stands out in video performance are the IMX903 main sensor and advanced autofocus technology.
The 16 Pro Max stands out not only with its high resolution and smooth frame rates in video shooting, but also with its color accuracy and low-light performance. The high image quality, especially in night shots, sets the device apart from its competitors.
According to the statements made by DxOMark, the iPhone 16 Pro Max also emphasizes that videos look much more vivid and realistic when watched on the Apple HDR screen. In addition, the ability to shoot videos in ProRes format provides extra flexibility for professional users. The general ranking is as follows:
| Arrangement | Model | Camera | Selfie | Sound | Screen |
| 1 | Huawei Pura 70 Ultra | 163 | – | – | – |
| 2 | Honor Magic6 Pro | 158 | 151 | 155 | 157 |

However, the 16 Pro Max is not perfect . The DxOMark report states that there is some loss of detail, especially between 2x and 5x zoom. That is, image quality may be below expectations in long-distance shots.
Overall, the iPhone 16 Pro Max is the best device tested so far in terms of video shooting performance. However, the Huawei Pura 70 Ultra still leads the overall ranking with 163 points. Nevertheless, Apple’s new flagship will impress professional content creators with its video quality.
