Playback

Pros

  • Free of artifacts
  • Decent dynamics performance
  • Good volume performance

Cons

  • Midrange-centric tonal balance and poor timbre overall
  • Lack of low-end extension impairs bass precision and tonal balance

Recording

Pros

  • Good tonal balance in most recordings
  • Overall good intelligibility of recorded vocal content
  • Good wind noise reduction

Cons

  • Inconsistent recording quality; better for main camera video than selfie video and memo recording
  • Memo recordings in mono

In our DXOMARK Audio tests, the OnePlus 10T 5G proved to be a good device for audio recording, mainly thanks to the excellent intelligibility of vocal content, even when recording in strong winds. Overall, recording quality could have been more consistent, though, with a noticeably better main camera performance than for the front camera or memo apps.

In playback, the phone delivered a decent dynamics performance, and sound was pretty much free of artifacts. However, a lack of low- and high-end extension resulted in a dull sonority. Overall, better options for audio playback are available in the 10T 5G’s price bracket.

In playback testing, the OnePlus 10T 5G delivered an average timbre performance, without any major flaws, but the midrange-focused tonal balance lacked bass and high-end extension. Dynamics performance was decent overall, thanks to a fairly precise attack that allowed for accurate restitution of transients. Sharpness, bass precision, and punch all left some room for improvement, though.

The sound scene was narrow, and imprecise localizability made it hard to pinpoint individual elements in the audio field, making for an overall poor spatial performance in playback. Distance and depth rendering were inaccurate as well, but balance was good, with centered elements perceived at the center of the scene.

The OnePlus did well for volume, thanks to good intelligibility of content at the minimum volume setting and good loudness at maximum. Remarkably, the 10T 5G’s audio playback was also free of any kind of unwanted audio artifacts.

The OnePlus 10T 5G did better as a recording device than it did for payback. This said, timbre performance varied a lot with the use case. Treble was clean and open in main camera recordings, but recordings sounded much more muffled with the memo app. When recording concerts or other loud content, an excess of high-midrange resulted in a slight aggressiveness.

Dynamics were average for recording with both the main and front cameras, but the background was slightly too loud in recordings with the memo app. In main camera recordings, individual sound sources were easy to pinpoint and distance rendition was correct. The sound scene could have been wider, though, and it was reduced even further when recording in portrait orientation with the front camera. Memo recordings are in mono by default.

Loudness was great for both main and front camera recordings but dropped considerably with the memo app. In terms of artifacts, some distortion was noticeable with sudden loud noises and at high sound pressure levels. Overall, with vocal content at a nominal volume level, recordings were quite clean, though. The same was true for the background which in addition featured a pretty good tonal balance.

Here is how the OnePlus 10T 5G performed in recording use cases compared to its competitors:

The Dynamics score measures the accuracy of changes in the energy level of sound sources, for example how precisely a voice's plosives (the p's, t's and k's, for example) are reproduced. The score also considers the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), for example how loud the main voice is compared to the background noise.

The sub-attributes for spatial tests include pinpointing a specific sound's location, its positional balance, distance, and wideness on the recorded audio files.

[glossary_exclude]Recording directivity[/glossary_exclude]
Directivity graph of the smartphone when recording test signals using the camera app, with the main camera. It represents the acoustic energy (in dB) over the angle of incidence of the sound source. (Normalized to the angle 0°, in front of the device.)

The Volume score represents how loud audio is normalized on the recorded files and the how the device handles loud environments, such as electronic concerts, when recording.

Here are the sound levels recorded in the audio and video files, measured in LUFS (Loudness Unit Full Scale); as a reference, we expect loudness levels to be above -24 LUFS for recorded content:

The Artifacts score measures the extent to which the recorded sounds are affected by various types of distortions. The higher the score, the less the disturbances in the sound are noticeable. Distortions can occur because of sound processing in the device and the quality of the microphones, as well as user handling, such as how the phone is held.

In this audio comparison, you can listen to the way this smartphone handles wind noise relative to its competitors:

Background evaluates how natural the various sounds around a voice blend into the video recording file. For example, when recording a speech at an event, the background should not interfere with the main voice, yet it should provide some context of the surroundings.

With a DXOMARK Selfie score of 145, the Huawei Mate 50 Pro reaches the No. 1 spot in our front camera ranking. Except for the device’s fixed-focus front camera, the Mate 50 Pro comes with most of the same hardware specifications as the Huawei P50 Pro. Despite the hardware similarities, the Mate 50 Pro’s performance was an improvement over the P50 Pro thanks to new software solutions and refined tuning,

For video, the Mate 50 Pro was tested at 4K resolution at 30 frames per second, with Vivid HDR mode enabled. Vivid HDR is a new HDR video format and currently supported by a range of phones and TVs. In our tests the Mate 50 Pro delivered a very consistent still image performance, achieving top scores in several test categories, including exposure, focus, noise and flash. This said, overall the Huawei Mate 50 Pro video results were good but not outstanding, mainly due to slightly low contrast levels and a low light performance that left some room for improvement.

Accurate target exposure and wide dynamic range, nice colors, and good detail

Test summary

About DXOMARK Selfie tests: For scoring and analysis, DXOMARK engineers capture and evaluate more than 1,500 test images both in controlled lab environments and in outdoor, indoor and low-light natural scenes, using the front camera’s default settings. The photo protocol is designed to take into account the user’s needs and is based on typical shooting scenarios, such as close-up and group selfies. The evaluation is performed by visually inspecting images against a reference of natural scenes, and by running objective measurements on images of charts captured in the lab under different lighting conditions from 1 to 1,000+ lux and color temperatures from 2,300K to 6,500K.

[glossary_exclude]Huawei Mate 50 Pro Photo scores vs Ultra-Premium[/glossary_exclude]
The photo tests analyze image quality attributes such as exposure, color, texture, and noise in various light conditions. The range of focus and the presence of artifacts on all images captured in controlled lab conditions and in real-life images are also evaluated. All these attributes have a significant impact on the final quality of the images captured with the tested device and can help to understand the camera's main strengths and weaknesses.

When shooting still images, the Huawei Mate 50 Pro delivered very solid results across almost all test categories. Target exposure was accurate, with a wider dynamic range than the competition. Images showed nice colors, but our testers observed a slight green cast in overcast conditions and slightly desaturated skin tones in scenes with strong backlighting. A wide depth of field meant all subjects tended to be in focus in group shots. In addition, the Huawei did very well in terms of texture/noise, rendering very fine detail nicely and limiting noise in most conditions. This said, texture rendering was occasionally somewhat unstable across consecutive shots, mainly in difficult low-light scenes.

Exposure and color are the key attributes for technically good pictures. For exposure, the main attribute evaluated is the brightness of the face(s) in various use cases and light conditions. Other factors evaluated are the contrast and the dynamic range, eg. the ability to render visible details in both bright and dark areas of the image. Repeatability is also important because it demonstrates the camera's ability to provide the same rendering when shooting consecutive images in a row.
For color, the image quality attributes analyzed are skin-tone rendering, white balance, color shading, and repeatability.

Huawei Mate 50 Pro – wide dynamic range, slightly bright face exposure, desaturated skin tones
Apple iPhone 14 Pro – limited dynamic range, slightly dark face exposure, slightly inaccurate skin tones
Google Pixel 7 Pro – limited dynamic range, good face exposure, slightly inaccurate skin tones

Autofocus tests evaluate the accuracy of the focus on the subject’s face, the repeatability of an accurate focus, and the depth of field. While a shallow depth of field can be pleasant for a single-subject selfie or close-up shot, it can be problematic in specific conditions such as group selfies; both situations are tested. Focus accuracy is also evaluated in all the real-life images taken, from 30cm to 150cm, and in low light to outdoor conditions.

Texture tests analyze the level of details and the texture of subjects in the images taken in the lab as well as in real-life scenarios. For natural shots, particular attention is paid to the level of details in facial features, such as the eyes. Objective measurements are performed on chart images taken in various lighting conditions from 1 to 1000 lux and different kinds of dynamic range conditions. The charts used are the proprietary DXOMARK chart (DMC) and the Dead Leaves chart.

Noise tests analyze various attributes of noise such as intensity, chromaticity, grain, and structure on real-life images as well as images of charts taken in the lab. For natural images, particular attention is paid to the noise on faces, but also on dark areas and high dynamic range conditions. Objective measurements are performed on images of charts taken in various conditions from 1 to 1000 lux and different kinds of dynamic range conditions. The chart used is the DXOMARK Dead Leaves chart and the standardized measurement such as Visual Noise derived from ISO 15739.

The artifacts evaluation looks at lens shading, chromatic aberrations, distortion measurement on the Dot chart and MTF, and ringing measurements on the SFR chart in the lab. Particular attention is paid to ghosting, quantization, halos, and hue shifts on the face among others. The more severe and the more frequent the artifact, the higher the point deduction on the score. The main artifacts observed and corresponding point loss are listed below.

Bokeh is tested in one dedicated mode, usually portrait or aperture mode, and analyzed by visually inspecting all the images captured in the lab and in natural conditions. The goal is to reproduce portrait photography comparable to one taken with a DSLR and a wide aperture. The main image quality attributes paid attention to are depth estimation, artifacts, blur gradient, and the shape of the bokeh blur spotlights. Portrait image quality attributes (exposure, color, texture) are also taken into account.

Video tests analyze the same image quality attributes as for still images, such as exposure, color, texture, or noise, in addition to temporal aspects such as speed, smoothness, and stability of exposure, white balance, and autofocus transitions.

In video mode, the Mate 50 Pro front camera shone especially in terms of exposure, dynamic range and white balance. Overall, the device delivered a pleasant video experience but left some opportunities for improvements. Contrast was sometimes not perfectly adjusted and our testers noticed frequent exposure instabilities, especially in strongly backlit scenes. In such difficult conditions, we also noticed slightly inaccurate skin tone rendering. The level of captured detail was high on faces, and noise was kept well under control both in bright light and under indoor conditions. However, noise was quite noticeable in low light. Video stabilization was quite effective, but frame shifts were often visible when panning the camera.

Stability and temporal adaption of the exposure are also analyzed. Image-quality color analysis looks at skin-tone rendering, white balance, color shading, stability of the white balance and its adaption when light is changing.

  • Accurate target exposure in most conditions in photo, with smooth transitions in video
  • Pleasant white balance and color rendering in most conditions
  • Accurate color rendering in video in outdoor and indoor conditions

Cons

  • Occasionally autofocusing on wrong target, with a shallow depth of field
  • Visible noise in low-light conditions in photo and video
  • Low level of details in low-light conditions, with visible motion blur
  • Occasional ghosting, ringing, and color quantization
  • In bokeh, visible depth artifacts, with unnatural blur gradient
  • Narrow dynamic range for low-light conditions in video
  • Visible sharpness differences between video frames in all conditions

The Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G is the most basic model available in the 12-series. While its rear-camera setup looks just like the others in the series, featuring three modules — primary, ultra-wide, and macro – the 12 Lite 5G’s camera modules actually use different sensors, which mainly account for the differences in image quality.

Overall, the device behaved well in good lighting conditions. Target exposure and color rendering were pleasant in outdoor situations in both photo and video, but image details were quite low. Indoors, and especially in low-light conditions, however, image noise was often visible with some artifacts.

For its price, which is about half of the top-end model in the series, the 12 Lite 5G’s camera performance was quite average overall, even when judging it against other devices in its High-end segment ($400 to $599). The lack of a tele module and a limited ultrawide module, compared with other devices in the segment,  hampered the device’s performance.

Test summary

About DXOMARK Camera tests: DXOMARK’s Camera evaluations take place in laboratories and in real-world situations using a wide variety of subjects. The scores rely on objective tests for which the results are calculated directly by measurement software on our laboratory setups, and on perceptual tests in which a sophisticated set of metrics allow a panel of image experts to compare aspects of image quality that require human judgment. Testing a smartphone involves a team of engineers and technicians for about a week. Photo, Zoom, and Video quality are scored separately and then combined into an Overall score for comparison among the cameras in different devices. For more information about the DXOMARK Camera protocol, click here. More details on smartphone camera scores are available here. The following section gathers key elements of DXOMARK’s exhaustive tests and analyses. Full performance evaluations are available upon request. Please contact us  on how to receive a full report.

About DXOMARK Camera Photo tests

For scoring and analysis, DXOMARK engineers capture and evaluate more than 2,600 test images both in controlled lab environments and in outdoor, indoor and low-light natural scenes, using the camera’s default settings. The photo protocol is designed to take into account the main use cases and is based on typical shooting scenarios, such as portraits, family, and landscape photography. The evaluation is performed by visually inspecting images against a reference of natural scenes, and by running objective measurements on images of charts captured in the lab under different lighting conditions from 1 to 1,000+ lux and color temperatures from 2,300K to 6,500K.

Pros

  • Uniform in brightness and color
  • Well-managed brightness and colors for HDR10 videos
  • Accurate and very responsive to touch when playing video games

Cons

  • No high brightness mode
  • Slow falling light transitions with visible steps
  • Ghost touches when playing video games, especially in landscape mode

The Asus ROG Phone 6 is quite a good device, with a display that is uniform in brightness and color. In addition, HDR10 videos are pleasant to watch, thanks to good management of brightness and contrast. The gaming experience is globally good, as the device is accurate and responds quickly to touch when playing video games. However, its lack of high brightness mode means that the ROG Phone 6 is hard to read under sunlight; further, its transitions are slow and show steps as it adapts to falling light transitions.

Test summary

About DXOMARK Display tests: For scoring and analysis in our smartphone and other display reviews, DXOMARK engineers perform a variety of objective and perceptual tests under controlled lab and real-life conditions. Note that we evaluate display attributes using only the device’s built-in display hardware and its still image (gallery) and video apps at their default settings. (For in-depth information about how we evaluate smartphone and other displays, check out our articles, “How DXOMARK tests display quality” and “A closer look at DXOMARK Display testing.”

The following section gathers key elements of our exhaustive tests and analyses performed in DXOMARK laboratories. Detailed performance evaluations under the form of reports are available upon request. Do not hesitate to contact us.

How Display Readability score is composed

Readability evaluates how easily and comfortably users can read still content (photos & web) on the display under different real-life conditions. DXOMARK uses its Display Bench to recreate ambient light conditions ranging from total darkness to bright sunlight. In addition to laboratory tests, perceptual analysis is also made in real-life environments.

How Display Color score is composed

The color attribute evaluates the capacity of the device to accurately reproduce colors. The measurements taken are for fidelity, white point color, and gamut coverage. We perform color evaluations for different lighting conditions to see how well the device can manage color in the surrounding environment. Colors are measured using a spectrophotometer in a controlled lighting environment. Perceptual analysis of color rendering is against the reference pattern displayed on a calibrated professional monitor.

Each arrow represents the color difference between a target color pattern (base of the arrow) and its actual measurement (tip of the arrow). The longer the arrow, the more visible the color difference is. If the arrow stays within the circle, the color difference will be visible only to trained eyes.
Color behavior on angle
This graph shows the color shift when the screen is at an angle. Each dot represents a measurement at a particular angle. Dots inside the inner circle exhibit no color shift in angle; those between the inner and outer circle have shifts that only trained experts will see; but those falling outside the outer circle are noticeable.

How Display Video score is composed

Our video attribute evaluates the Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) and High Dynamic Range (HDR10) video handling of each device in indoor and low-light conditions. We measure tone mapping, color gamut, brightness and contrast of the display. We perform perceptual analysis against our professional reference monitor (Sony BVM-HX310) to ensure that the rendering respects the artistic intent.

Gamut coverage for video content
HDR10 Gamut coverage
SDR Gamut coverage
The primary colors are measured both in HDR10 and SDR. The extracted color gamut shows the extent of the color area that the device can render. To respect the artistic intent, the measured gamut should match the master color space of each video.

The HDR10 gamut measurements were done using 80% red, green, and blue test patterns. Indeed, a strong desaturation was measured when using our usual 100% red, green and blue patterns leading to a strongly reduced gamut.

This photo shows the HDR10 color levels of the Asus ROG Phone 6 being desaturated past 80%.

Pros

  • No frame drops when playing video games
  • Satisfactory smoothness in every use case
  • Decent accuracy when playing video games

Cons

  • Not uniform in color and brightness
  • Poorly managed brightness and color for HDR10 videos
  • Lack of brightness and details under sunlight

The Black Shark 5 Pro’s best attribute is its smoothness, with good fluidity in every use case. This good control of motion teams up with good accuracy and an absence of frame drops to provide a good overall gaming experience. However, the device has below-average readability, especially under sunlight, and both its brightness and color are noticeably non-uniform across the screen. One of its weakest points is its handling of HDR10 videos, with poor brightness and a strongly visible green cast contributing to an unpleasant viewing experience.

Test summary

About DXOMARK Display tests: For scoring and analysis in our smartphone and other display reviews, DXOMARK engineers perform a variety of objective and perceptual tests under controlled lab and real-life conditions. Note that we evaluate display attributes using only the device’s built-in display hardware and its still image (gallery) and video apps at their default settings. (For in-depth information about how we evaluate smartphone and other displays, check out our articles, “How DXOMARK tests display quality” and “A closer look at DXOMARK Display testing.”

The following section gathers key elements of our exhaustive tests and analyses performed in DXOMARK laboratories. Detailed performance evaluations under the form of reports are available upon request. Do not hesitate to contact us.

How Display Readability score is composed

Readability evaluates how easily and comfortably users can read still content (photos & web) on the display under different real-life conditions. DXOMARK uses its Display Bench to recreate ambient light conditions ranging from total darkness to bright sunlight. In addition to laboratory tests, perceptual analysis is also made in real-life environments.

How Display Color score is composed

The color attribute evaluates the capacity of the device to accurately reproduce colors. The measurements taken are for fidelity, white point color, and gamut coverage. We perform color evaluations for different lighting conditions to see how well the device can manage color in the surrounding environment. Colors are measured using a spectrophotometer in a controlled lighting environment. Perceptual analysis of color rendering is against the reference pattern displayed on a calibrated professional monitor.

Each arrow represents the color difference between a target color pattern (base of the arrow) and its actual measurement (tip of the arrow). The longer the arrow, the more visible the color difference is. If the arrow stays within the circle, the color difference will be visible only to trained eyes.
Color behavior on angle
This graph shows the color shift when the screen is at an angle. Each dot represents a measurement at a particular angle. Dots inside the inner circle exhibit no color shift in angle; those between the inner and outer circle have shifts that only trained experts will see; but those falling outside the outer circle are noticeable.

How Display Video score is composed

Our video attribute evaluates the Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) and High Dynamic Range (HDR10) video handling of each device in indoor and low-light conditions. We measure tone mapping, color gamut, brightness and contrast of the display. We perform perceptual analysis against our professional reference monitor (Sony BVM-HX310) to ensure that the rendering respects the artistic intent.

Pros

  • The device is smooth in every use case
  • No frame drops when watching videos and when playing video games
  • Colors are accurate in indoor and low-light conditions but only display sRGB colors

Cons

  • A strong green cast is visible when viewing the device on angle
  • Brightness is too low under sunlight and in low-light conditions
  • Lack of brightness and dark tones in HDR10 videos

The Sony Xperia 1 IV offers good display performance overall, with accurate colors both indoors and in low light. Its excellent control of motion means that there are no frame drops to mar the user experience when watching videos or when playing video games, and it is very pleasantly smooth in every use case. Its brightness is too low under sunlight and in low light, however; and while the device has good color fidelity when viewed on axis, a strong green cast appears when viewing content on angle.

Test summary

About DXOMARK Display tests: For scoring and analysis in our smartphone and other display reviews, DXOMARK engineers perform a variety of objective and perceptual tests under controlled lab and real-life conditions. Note that we evaluate display attributes using only the device’s built-in display hardware and its still image (gallery) and video apps at their default settings. (For in-depth information about how we evaluate smartphone and other displays, check out our articles, “How DXOMARK tests display quality” and “A closer look at DXOMARK Display testing.”

The following section gathers key elements of our exhaustive tests and analyses performed in DXOMARK laboratories. Detailed performance evaluations under the form of reports are available upon request. Do not hesitate to contact us.

How Display Readability score is composed

Readability evaluates how easily and comfortably users can read still content (photos & web) on the display under different real-life conditions. DXOMARK uses its Display Bench to recreate ambient light conditions ranging from total darkness to bright sunlight. In addition to laboratory tests, perceptual analysis is also made in real-life environments.

How Display Color score is composed

The color attribute evaluates the capacity of the device to accurately reproduce colors. The measurements taken are for fidelity, white point color, and gamut coverage. We perform color evaluations for different lighting conditions to see how well the device can manage color in the surrounding environment. Colors are measured using a spectrophotometer in a controlled lighting environment. Perceptual analysis of color rendering is against the reference pattern displayed on a calibrated professional monitor.

Each arrow represents the color difference between a target color pattern (base of the arrow) and its actual measurement (tip of the arrow). The longer the arrow, the more visible the color difference is. If the arrow stays within the circle, the color difference will be visible only to trained eyes.
Color behavior on angle
This graph shows the color shift when the screen is at an angle. Each dot represents a measurement at a particular angle. Dots inside the inner circle exhibit no color shift in angle; those between the inner and outer circle have shifts that only trained experts will see; but those falling outside the outer circle are noticeable.

How Display Video score is composed

Our video attribute evaluates the Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) and High Dynamic Range (HDR10) video handling of each device in indoor and low-light conditions. We measure tone mapping, color gamut, brightness and contrast of the display. We perform perceptual analysis against our professional reference monitor (Sony BVM-HX310) to ensure that the rendering respects the artistic intent.

Playback

Pros

  • Good dynamics performance across all volume levels
  • Good distance rendering and localizability
  • No speaker occlusion with natural hand position
  • Audio artifacts well under control

Cons

  • Slightly thin tonal balance, midrange-focused, lack of low-end extension
  • Narrow sound scene

Recording

Pros

  • Good tonal balance; emphasis on lower spectrum results in better concert recording than Pixel 6
  • Good dynamics performance
  • Wide recorded sound scene in video

Cons

  • Narrow sound scene with selfie video
  • Extra bass (compared with Pixel 6) results in some bass distortions

In our DXOMARK Audio testing, the Google Pixel 6a delivered an excellent performance for a device in its class. Overall, audio results were very similar to the standard Pixel 6, with only some minor differences between the two models. As a playback device, the Pixel 6a was most suitable for movie watching and listening to music, thanks to a good dynamics performance, distance perception, and localizability of individual sound sources. In addition, when holding the phone normally, it was pretty much impossible to involuntarily cover the speakers. However, our testers found the tonal balance to lack bass and the sound scene to be more narrow than expected for a device of the Pixel’s dimensions.

The recording performance was just as good as playback. The Google device was most suitable for main camera recording, closely followed by front camera video recording. Audio recordings featured a good tonal balance, with more low-end extension than the standard Pixel 6, good dynamics, and  when recording with the main camera,  good wideness. The latter was more limited with the selfie camera, though, and the stronger focus on bass also resulted in more distortion.

In playback, the Pixel 6a sounded a little thin and midrange-focused, lacking both low and high-end extension, but it was still an improvement over the Pixel 6. Dynamics performance was average for this class of device, with a consistent punch. Attack could have been sharper but remained relatively consistent across volume levels. Bass precision was an improvement over the standard Pixel 6 and remained consistent at both extremes of the volume scale.

The sound scene created by the speakers was slightly narrower than we would have expected from a device with the Pixel 6a’s dimensions, but individual instruments and voices were very easy to locate within the scene. Distance rendering was very good, but our testers noted that the left/right channels of the stereo did not follow device rotation when playing games.

The device delivered good loudness at maximum volume, and the lowest audio setting was nicely tuned and intelligible. In terms of audio artifacts, some slight pumping was noticeable at maximum volume and our testers also noticed some slight static noise on some occasions.

The Volume score represents the overall loudness of a smartphone and how smoothly volume increases and decreases based on user input.

Here are a few sound pressure levels (SPL) measured when playing our sample recordings of hip-hop and classical music at maximum volume:
Hip-Hop Classical
Google Pixel 6a 74.1 dBA 69.1 dBA
Google Pixel 6 74.9 dBA 69.6 dBA
Xiaomi 12T 74.8 dBA 69.4 dBA
The following graph shows the gradual changes in volume going from minimum to maximum. We expect these changes to be consistent across the range, so that all volume steps correspond to users’ expectations:

When recording audio, the Pixel 6a offered a good timbre performance, with good tonal balance in all conditions, even at high sound pressure levels, for example when recording concerts. Thanks to a consistent and smooth midrange, voices sounded clear. However, the lower end was slightly impaired by distortion. In terms of dynamics, the Google device offered a good signal-to-noise ratio, a sharp and precise attack as well as an accurate envelope rendition, even at loud volumes.

When recording video with the main camera, the recorded sound scene was wide, but with slightly imprecise localizability of individual sound sources. Distance rendition was good. The wideness of the audio scene was more limited when shooting selfie video in portrait orientation. Voices remained well-centered, though, and localizability was better than for the main camera video.

Recording loudness was very good. In fact, the Pixel 6a was the best Pixel device in this respect that we have seen to date. Artifacts were well under control as well, with only some slight clipping on louder content and some distortion with loud bass. Background rendition on main camera recordings was clean but came with a slightly nasal tonal balance and, despite the overall extra bass, it  sounded quite thin. The tonal balance was more natural in front camera recordings.

The Artifacts score measures the extent to which the recorded sounds are affected by various types of distortions. The higher the score, the less the disturbances in the sound are noticeable. Distortions can occur because of sound processing in the device and the quality of the microphones, as well as user handling, such as how the phone is held.

In this audio comparison, you can listen to the way this smartphone handles wind noise relative to its competitors:
