has been using on the Pixel series since the Pixel 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Winners in other categories<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the standard test, the Oppo Find X5 Pro is the winner for regular shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Pixel 7 Pro won in the portrait shots category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Vivo X80 Pro+ led the pack in the low light category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How did the iPhone fare?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Funnily enough the Apple iPhone, devices renowned for their camera quality, the 14 Pro in this case saw some rather underwhelming results.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It got 6th place in the standard, 10th place in the low light, and 5th place in the portrait blind camera tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Top 3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Pixel 6a, on the other hand, came <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gizmochina.com\/2022\/12\/22\/google-pixel-6a-win-blind-camera-test\/\">first <\/a>in the overall average rankings in a victory reminiscent of a David and Goliath battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The runner up was the Pixel 7 Pro and rounding up the top three list was the ASUS Zenfone 9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Worst 3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand the worst of the lot turned out to be the Moto Edge 30 Ultra and the Sony Xperia 1 IV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Nothing Phone (1) comes the third last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"entry-content-asset\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Best Smartphone Camera 2022!\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LQdjmGimh04?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
