DXOMARK Crowns iPhone 17 Pro the New Selfie Champion
The iPhone 17 Pro’s 18 MP f/1.9 front camera with autofocus introduces a new square-sensor design — a world first for smartphones.
This unique design gives users a wider field of view in both portrait and landscape orientations, eliminating the need to rotate the phone for group selfies or wide-angle vlogs.
DXOMARK’s tests highlight:
- Excellent exposure accuracy and wide dynamic range in all lighting conditions.
- Accurate focus with a broad depth of field, ideal for both single and group selfies.
- Natural skin tones and realistic color rendering.
- Smooth video stabilization and high frame consistency for 4K front video recording.
The result? The iPhone 17 Pro now tops the global DXOMARK Selfie ranking, surpassing rivals like the Google Pixel 10 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.
Designed for Creators, Streamers, and Everyday Selfies
For content creators and vloggers, the iPhone 17 Pro’s new front camera is a massive leap forward.
Whether you’re recording TikToks, hosting Instagram Lives, or simply snapping selfies, Apple’s camera delivers consistent quality even in backlit or low-light conditions.
With the iPhone 17 Pro’s A18 Pro chip, Apple’s computational photography engine fine-tunes exposure, texture, and background blur in real time, giving every shot that polished, professional look.
iPhone 17 Apple’s biggest leap lies in its front video quality, with superior stabilization, audio clarity, and face tracking — areas where even Android flagships tend to struggle.
Minor Limitations
While it dominates overall, DXOMARK noted a few minor weaknesses:
- Slightly warm skin tones in indoor lighting.
- Noticeable noise in flash selfies, especially near corners.
- Occasional white balance shifts in dynamic video scenes.
However, these are minor compared to the overall performance gains.
