All I was commenting about u talking it is 99 on 100 or 1 million. Thats not how DxO works .. learn that first before writing illogical comments ... S7 is same as S9 it seems ... go and have some vision test done on your eyes .. lol !!

    The petal's color washout is not a natural color condition. The S9+ seem just push the contrast to the limit and increase the saturated for visual impact while it also looks like a overexpose.

            There was Huawei releasing a "diss" video about S9/+'s camera... They look mighty foolish now... here's a rag to wipe that egg of your face Huawei...

              Nothing less expected, Samsung was all the time making best smartphone cameras for years

                Unfortunately the S9 is a very boring update especially after all the grief and insults they hurled Apple's way on iPhone X launch. Disappointing and I predict low sales for Samsung.

                  With each test DXO does they make themselves look more of a joke than professional camera testers. Just look at the iPhone X flash test compared to the iPhone 8plus, not even close but x scores higher? If you take out the apparent DXO bias the s9 would score 110+ compared to iphones x score of 97

                    The only phone that could score 100 in DXO is... we'll need to wait and see the Google pixel 3, iPhone 11 and Nokia 9 performance.

                      AnonD-341023, 02 Mar 2018I think you are wrong about 100 is 100%. MKBHD made a go... morei could be wrong but here is my understanding of it, for example, the iphone x score 101 for photography yet only 89 for video, giving it an overall score of 97, my earlier statement to somebody else was hat no phone has managed to 100% in both fields or higher giving it an overall score of 100% if that makes sense, by all means correct me if my understanding is wrong

                            Punchy color just like the Cheese/Salt in the cooking ingredients, the more Cheese/Salt doesn't mean come with great taste at the same time.

                            Refer the XZ2 vs S9+ camera comparison:

                            The Uncle Mc taken by S9+ is much punchy in color and it is horrible compared to natural color because of the punchy color is stiffness and looks fake.

                                  My cousin works for Samsung developement so i know.
                                  I can honestly tell you they will make profit even if they sell the phone for 300.
                                  So if you pay 1000 its your choice but you wasted 800 in a good 2 weeks of vacation somewhere close to the sea. To my honest opinion.

Trust me, I use a Sony camera and the default settings are less than pleasing. You end up having to boost the colours in post-processing.
