This document contains the technical specifications and test methods of the VCX Forum PhoneCam 2025.
The VCX White Paper outlines a standardized, user-focused framework for evaluating smartphone camera image and video quality through the VCX Score, a comprehensive and objective benchmarking metric. It explains how this score is derived from rigorous technical testing combined with real user preferences across factors such as exposure, color, sharpness, noise, and dynamic range. Developed collaboratively by industry leaders, the evolving VCX Score provides a consistent and reliable way for consumers, manufacturers, and reviewers to compare camera performance across devices.
