'BlackBerry Priv' News, Specs, Review, Features: BB Android's Camera Praised, One Of The Most Detailed Shooters

The "BlackBerry Priv" has become a popular name ever since it was first introduced as BlackBerry's first ever device to run the full version of Android. But being a BlackBerry Android isn't the only thing that is amazing about the Priv, as per DxO Labs' DxOMark test routine, the "BlackBerry Priv" received flattering marks in important areas, such as the camera. BlackBerry Priv's 18 MP primary camera ended up in the company's top ten tested mobile phones.

It is actually the phone's dynamic range that the company gave high acclaims for. According to GSMarena, the "BlackBerry Priv" camera was praised for being able to take good media even at the most difficult visual conditions. If there is one issue though, it would be about the auto HDR mode which renders photos with a compressed tone curve.

The "BlackBerry Priv" also produces detailed images, regardless of whether you capture one in low light or bright light. In fact, the reviewers concluded that the Priv has recorded some of the best low light captures when considering image details, and at least among the devices that the reviewers have tested. BB Priv's colors got commended too, in fact the words used to described this part is "pleasant and strong", although the white balance isn't as consistent as you'd expect.

Furthermore with the camera goodness of the "BlackBerry Priv", DxO also stated that the phone's autofocus speed is also worth praising, alongside the flash, although the flash does work way better with an additional light source, rather than working completely alone. Also, the video quality of Priv's camera is being commended. According to the review, the video outputs have great details and exposure.

All in all, the "BlackBerry Priv" ended up with an 82 score, which makes it in the same level as Apple's recent flagships. This is one exciting news for people who are still thinking twice whether to buy the Priv or not. Some may have thought that the only amazing thing about "BlackBerry Priv" is the combination of its brand and its OS. Now that a test result proves that the phone has more to offer, maybe people can now be sure about the phone's overall greatness.
