Just like other iPhones, the color rendering is vivid, the skin tones are beautiful, the touch is slightly warmer, and the camera is usually very reliable.
The overall photo performance is very similar to the 12 Pro we tested last year, but it has been improved in several ways. The color and contrast of backlit portraits have been improved, and the images show higher levels of detail, especially when shooting under typical indoor conditions.

It looks like Apple’s camera engineers have managed to use the larger pixel pitch of the new sensor to improve detail retention, but just like on the 12 Pro, brightness noise can still be seen in most shooting situations.
The camera’s zoom score is 76. Although it is not the best, the performance is still better than that of the 12 Pro, thanks to the longer 3x optical zoom, compared to 2.5x for the old model. Due to multiple improvements in key areas, an excellent video score of 119 puts the iPhone 13 Pro at the top of this sub-ranking.
The very obvious tone mapping instability on iPhone 12 series models has been fixed, and exposure is now generally very stable. Autofocus performance has also been improved, thanks to better tracking at the right moment and very smooth refocusing.

Google‘s Pixel 9 series is ready to introduce a significant upgrade with emergency satellite connectivity and new Samsung modem. This series aims to solve the persistent connectivity problems seen in previous Pixel models.
According to the information via AndroidAuthority, Samsung Modem 5400 will be integrated with Tensor G4 chips for the Pixel 9 series to bring significant improvements in terms of speed, power efficiency, and stability
The Pixel 9’s modem will support 5G non-terrestrial networks (NTN), which means it will enable satellite-based communication. This is particularly important for emergencies where standard network coverage is unavailable.
Moreover, this innovative feature is not exclusive to the Pixel 9. The next-generation Pixel Fold and a 5G tablet, currently under development, will also be equipped with the same modem.
One of the most notable features of this upgrade is the ability to connect with emergency services via satellite, which is crucial for users in areas without cellular coverage. To facilitate this, Google has implemented a system that guides users through a set of questions, allowing for quick communication with emergency responders. For example,
- What happened?
- [Are you/Are they/Is everyone] breathing?
- In total, how many people are [missing/trapped]?
- What best describes your situation?
- What is on fire?
- Are there weapons involved?
Although the release details for the 5G tablet are still unclear, the Pixel 9 series is expected to lead the way in mobile communication technology, ensuring users can remain connected in any location.
