But there are also disadvantages:noise visible in the background, random white balance distortion, clipping of high dynamic range scenes for photos, fixed focus leaves more distant objects blurry, low exposure in flash mode, residual motion effects when walking, high noise in video at lower light levels.
“The front camera of the iPhone 12 Pro is worthyattention, although it's not quite in the same class as the best we've tested. Overall, the iPhone 12 Pro has a very capable but not category-defining selfie camera. If we consider it as part of a single whole, the vast majority of users should be satisfied with it,” concluded DxOMark.
