While clearly in all these samples Nokia 808 had better details and should be scored higher.

DxO = paid advertisement

    Best camera but wasted with so many sensors and price is horrible, no 3.5 outdated chipset, to buy it only for camera, you really need to be some kind of camera guru

      They are on DisplayMate level now.

        AnonD-743635, 28 Mar 2018What's with the beauty mode being active in the DXO shots? ... moreI'm assuming that DxO used Portrait Mode instead of "Aperture" Mode, which does exactly the same thing but lacks beautification effect and contrast + saturation boost. Look at this image for example (The image is from http://www.photographyblog.com/reviews/huawei_p20_pro_review/preview_images)

        http://img.photographyblog.com/reviews/huawei_p20_pro/photos/huawei_p20_pro_38.jpg

        This photo actually manages to capture every single bit of details without smudging them out... And of course this is with beauty mode off.

After that their ranking method became a totally biased mess. Their new protocol seems to be slightly better but that doesn't really help to redeem their reputation in the past. There's no doubt that P20 Pro has one of the best camera in the smartphone market right now, but I'll wait for the real life picture samples from this phone with FINAL, retail software to see how it really performs in real-life conditions, compared to phones like S9+, U11+ etc.

                                  What's with the beauty mode being active in the DXO shots? The photos of the pixel and iphone show detail in the girl's face, but not on the huawei's, does DXO check the settings before comparing or they use the factory defaults or can't be turned off?

                                      It's funny how every new phone only focuses on camera, bacause performace-wise there's almost nothing to improve. Yet a phone is still a phone, not a camera. I don't want an expensive phone because of its "awesome" camera because I have a dslr already
