In the DxOMark test, the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra fell behind the iPhone 17 Pro.

The globally respected DxOMark laboratory continues its in-depth analysis of the reflection capabilities of the most powerful smartphones released in recent years. Zamin.uz reported on this.

According to the completed test results, Samsung's new flagship Galaxy S26 Ultra model has achieved significantly higher scores compared to its previous version, yet it could not completely leave Apple's iPhone 17 Pro flagship behind. Detailed information was provided in recent reports.

Although the new Galaxy S26 Ultra is technically close to the previous S25 Ultra model, there are significant innovations in its main photography system. The main camera sensor has now been increased to 200 megapixels, and the light capture capability has been boosted by 47 percent.

Additionally, the device utilizes a 5x periscope lens with an f/1.4 aperture. These lenses allow for natural background blurring using ALOP technology.

However, it was found that these innovations have slightly increased the close-up shooting distance. DxOMark analysts positively evaluated Samsung's device ability to improve image quality in low-light conditions and eliminate excess noise.

Although these achievements are significant, the iPhone 17 Pro still maintains its leading position in terms of image quality and autofocus accuracy. During the tests, some inaccuracies were observed during face detection on the Samsung phone, as well as minor technical flaws in portrait mode.

The final conclusion confirmed that Apple's new flagship remains slightly ahead of its competitor in terms of image processing algorithms and overall image balance.
