MKBHD's 2023 Smartphone Awards: iPhone 15 Pro Earns Top Spot for Best Camera on a Mobile Device

Apple’s new iPhone 15 Pro has been awarded the title of having the best camera on any smartphone in MKBHD’s 2023 Smartphone Awards. The iPhone 15 Pro, which was launched a few months ago, has gained a reputation for its impressive camera. While there are other flagship smartphones that may produce better picture quality, the iPhone 15 Pro excels in recording videos, making it the standout winner in the camera category. Apple has improved the camera sensor and computational algorithms on the device, and there are plans to enhance it further with the iPhone 16 Pro next year. The introduction of the new Log recording format also provides professionals with more editing options for their photos. Additionally, the iPhone 15 Pro’s camera performs consistently well in different scenarios, and it now supports recording videos directly onto an external storage device thanks to the new USB-C port. In a blind smartphone camera test conducted by MKBHD, the iPhone 15 Pro was found to capture the best low-light photos, surpassing competitors such as the Galaxy S23 Ultra and Google’s new Pixel 8 Pro.

In addition to its camera award, MKBHD also recognized the iPhone 15 Plus for having the best battery life on any smartphone. The iPhone 15 Plus stands out for several reasons. It features a standard 60Hz display, which consumes less battery compared to devices with a 120Hz panel. The iPhone 15 Plus also has a larger battery and combined with the efficiency of the A16 Bionic chip, it outperforms other smartphones in terms of battery life. The Asus ROG Phone 7 also received an honorable mention in the best battery life category for 2023.

Overall, Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro has impressed reviewers and consumers with its exceptional camera capabilities, making it a top choice for photography and videography enthusiasts.
