      Unfair score
      Bokeh tests, which pulled the weight of the score down???

      Can xzp do bokeh with single lens ? This test is for dual lens
      Stabilization get 87? This xzp can do 5 axis, the best stabilazation out there, check and compare by you self

      I dont trust dxo anymore

        vrvly, 23 Sep 2017More than bokeh, I would care more about very bad processin... moreFine, if that's the main problem Sony, i can accommodate it. But, does need every website need to negative biased towards Sony, even only just one thing? Sigh, smh.....

                TheGoldMellifluousXZ, 23 Sep 2017I think bad software and post-processing was the reason Son... moreDxO had a paid collaboration with OnePlus to develop the OP5 dual-camera. Funny enough, their review gave high-marks in video stabilization when (at that particular moment in time) it had **ZERO** stabilization in 4K. Now they have learned all about the need to update their protocols to "better test" those dual-cameras...

                  Anonymous, 23 Sep 2017red tint has been fixed immediately via software updates. ... moreAnd why there's some rumor that when Sony will upgrading the XZ Premium to Android 8.0 Oreo, it will fixed the distortion of XZP if not all at least some of by software . Not all people thinks camera on their phones are an important things. Why everything has to be relied on dual-cams so everything is right, including camera distortion problem? for goodness sake.......

                    this is the reason why i dont trust sony.
                    if something happens to their(sony's) product, they dont fix it. like their distorted camera.
                    or they finally fix it.. but after so many months of waiting.

                    can they learn from their neighbour? their neighbour got explosion than immediately took full responsibility. their neighbour got red tint than immediately sent software update to fix it.

                    sony's customer service is really bad

                      AnonD-1825, 23 Sep 2017”But still, i agree what you said. I think someone paid DXO... moreI understand what you said, but for iPhone 8, it does feel more fishy than it's counterpart, the 8 Plus as the plus version has dual cam. It does only have one camera, but why the heck it got higher? It's rather paid or Apple got something behind the 8 on just relying on 1 camera.....

                        TheGoldMellifluousXZ, 23 Sep 2017Are you sure only Sony failed? What about red-tinted screen... morered tint has been fixed immediately via software updates.
                        how about sony's distortion? sony cannot fix it.

                          Anonymous, 23 Sep 2017Which 2015 device score better?? S6 edge got 82... iPhone ... moreAre you trying to pretend that the facts never happened, right? Are you believing an opinion more than facts? LOL fail.

                              Why does the crop have a blue tint that is not present in the original photo?Compared to other phone this review is a joke full of laziness, and controversial sentences. "Phone as a very good stabilization" and then... ."mediocre stabilization".
                              Look up on youtube and it has a better stabilization than iphone 7 or galaxy, and xz premium gets a lower score .
                              This review is a mess...

Still, for some people who don't considered camera even wide-angle thingy as their main checklist , it should less worry.
