? How are smartphones tested at Les Numériques?
Our smartphone tests are based on a large number of measurements, carried out in our laboratory. We thus evaluate the quality of the screen – its color rendering (average delta E), contrast, level of brightness or even its ability to remain readable outdoors; photographic quality, thanks to tests shared with the Photo division; or the sound section (speaker, headphones), in our sound studio. Autonomy is appreciated via a clean application, sticking as well as possible to the average mobile uses of the Spaniards.

? What is the best smartphone for taking photos?
Smartphones have definitely buried compact cameras. With ever more beautiful shots and more and more photo modules, the smartphone - sometimes referred to as a photophone - becomes the camera that you always have with you. To be on top, don't just focus on the number of megapixels. A large number of photosites on the sensor, optical stabilization or even good "telephoto" or "ultra-wide-angle" modules are prime assets. Of all the mobile devices that have passed our photo test scene, here are the ones that have our preference for great photos, in all conditions. If you take a lot of photos, turn to a smartphone that also offers a large storage memory.
