Sales and Marketing money well spent! Potential XR buyers kept on saying they don't care about camera quality. This is to bring back potential XS & XS Max customers who are pissed off with prices and doubting the capabilities of XR camera capabilities! Next article may be displaymate giving the crown for XR as the best liquid retina display tag!

Anonymous, 07 Dec 2018Use your common sense. They are still saying that it's the ... moreI think you're reading too much into it. It does have the beste single lens camera that is tested, pixel 3 not being tested yet, but that doesn't mean that is performs better than a single (main) of the cameras in other phones. In example it doesn't come close to the low light performance, low noise floor, nor details of Mate 20 Pro's main camera.
But yeah, it does have a great Sony sensor. Apple has used sony's sensor for many years and with good results. Not necessarily top 1, but still very good. If you look at some of the performance of the XR, it does in some photos yield better results that sibling XS. Hitting a more natural skin tone and hair/beard.

Kangal, 07 Dec 2018Mate, we don't need dual/triple/quad rear-cameras for phone... moreThe issue about having single lens or more is undebatable. Definitely u get more if camera are more than one.
Can single camera took ultra wide angle?
Can single camera took super macro mod?
Can single camera took 3x optical zoom or more?
Can single camera took adjustable aperture effects?
And now goes with the lesser part if cramped with many cameras. Mate 20 got 3 cameras, while having big 4000mah battery, headphone jack, ir blaster, good vibrator, stereo speakers, bezelless screen. Your opinion are wrong. Even Iphone got telephoto lens & pixel got ultra wide angle...but on the front *ehem*.
If future Iphones/Pixel add wide lens or telephoto lens, what u gonna say about that?

Others haven't used single lens camera in their flagships for quite some time now, apart from google.
DxO is a very reliable source for camera testing, both sensor, lenses and smartphone cameras.
Overall the XR does have a good camera, it's just placed in a crappy phone. The one area where the old pixel 2 does better is low light, and it has a better flash - not that using flahs makes for good photos, but it does help video in the dark.

Hmmmm .... Something dodgy here. Noticed they omitted Pixel 2 from 1 lux light & Portrait Mode test/comparison images.
HDR test: XR vs XS vs Pixel 2
20 lux test: XR vs XS vs Pixel 2
1 lux test: XR vs XS
Portrait Mode: XR vs XS
Btw, look at that 5 lux test. The Pixel 2 killed the iphones.

Doesn't surprise me. Most tech sites are praising the Pixel 3 as if it has the best camera, but the truth is this year it doesn't. For photos it has a slight advantage over the iPhones in some situations (such as night shots or with the front camera; for daylight shots they're pretty much on par), that's undeniable, so kudos to Google for the good job there. But photos are just HALF of the camera's functions, and for video this year's iPhones absolutely DESTROY not only the Pixel but every other phone in the market, by such a long margin it's not even funny. So the Pixel 3 might take a hair better photos depending on what you shoot most often, but since its video recording is so poor in comparison, it simply cannot be the best overall camera, that title for 2018 goes to either the iPhone XS and XR or the Huawei Mate 20 Pro (haven't seen much of its videos yet).

Dx0 has been around reviewing pretty much every single professional gear on the market with a very objective and extensive test standard since 2008.
If you don't trust them, by all means, create a testing standard and publish your results.

"The only real reason to opt for the more expensive iPhone XS is the telephoto feature."
I strongly disagree. Maybe if only considering the camera, but the XR is a crap fest. If first going ios, then best to stay away from XR. Such a pointlesss device.
