Xiaomi's entry into the broader ecosystem of products has been long awaited. With their tremendous success in the smartphone business, savvy Indian buyers have had an eye one the robust portfolio of Xiaomi products available in China. As it turns out, the company too is very interested in getting these to India one step at a time. Last week, Xiaomi took some time out to launch a broad spectrum of appliances and non-smartphone products. The Mi Home Security 360 camera is one such product that follows Xiaomi's standard process of undercutting the competition in terms of price while offering an experience that is almost as good. Let's take a closer look.
The Mi Security Camera 360 is a coke can sized device that looks quite a bit like the cutesy sci-fi robot, EVA from 'WALL-E'. The design is inoffensive enough to simply hide away in the corner and isn't an eye-sore in case your set up requires it to be visible.

DxOMark is out with iPhone XS Max camera review rating it as one of the best with a score of 105. While it beats out Samsung Galaxies and Pixels, it failed to move past Huawei's P20 Pro which still remains at the top. DxOMark scores a smartphone based on a combined score of photo and video performance.
Since the scores are not out of 100, the iPhone XS Max scored a significantly higher score of 105 compared to the iPhone X's 97 from last year. This show a notable difference in cameras. As both the iPhone XS Max and XS pack the similar internals, DxOMark believes that it might score more or less the same. While the hardware changes are valuable, the software changes are more noticeable.

Meaning, the iPhone XS Max is capable of displaying HDR images in real-time in the preview image, so what you get is what you see. This feature isn't currently available on any other smartphones.
