It's hard to compete with today's flagships.

nobody cares about dxomark lol

    Isn't the score lower than those other phones also because it lacks a camera, the telephoto one? Isn't DxO scoring each type of them then summing up? Of course it is lower, it lacks part of the score. Doesn't mean the other two cameras are that bad.

Every company invest on marketing dept, for bussiness. What about last year Note 10? On the top for a month, remember? The way i sees it, when some favourite brands on the top, its okay. But when its not, accusing DxO are paid higher. Thats just childish.

      And its not about being better hardware or not. The fail part on Samsung S20 Ultra camera are on its software (mainly Nonacell technique, with no DPAF) where now been updated over & over again in order to improve.

        And theres something about its strong reddish tones.

I thought Samsung image processing got the most ... moreIt actually did till the S20 series no see comparisons between mate 30 and iPhone 11 pro max,then iPhone 11 pro max Vs S20 ultra.Iphone generally delivers truest to life images until the S20 ultra actually gets it more accurate-"even attested by max weinbach on his Twitter" or simply watch mr.whostheboss comparisons of p30 or mate 30 Vs other phones they made clear oceans look deep blue many more

                  Seems Samsung didn't pay good money this year

                    I got to be honest, the camera has never been my concern about the Z Flip. It's about sheer compact portability.

                        I know and I feel that DxOMark is somewhat fishy.. but considering that there are only two camera on the Z flip, maybe 105 points is enough... Although why does it got low autofocus when the processing and hardware is the same with the S10 family which the S10+ plus got higher autofocus (97) than the Z flip (88)

                            No one buys the Z Flip for its camera, no one buying it cares if it's a top 50 camera or not.

Every flagship sent to DxO likely have the same amount of quotation to be paid. All that lab & studio test, outdoor 1500 pics tested, was not a free service.

                              Now because of the payment involvement, I think both DxO & Samsung made an agreement to reveal the score a bit late (will affect sales if early) with additional score on its AF more than it should. At least DxO give face to Samsung instead put it on the bottom of the earth lol.

                                Well, its not mateX where did they consider camera performance and not made it half thick for sensors.

                                  The only Huawei over the top colors are on P20 series.

                                      Yee, 01 May 2020I'm curious how much did Samsung pay for this?!$0

                                        details are low, autofocus is slow, all said Z camera is bad.
