05 October 2020
It fared slightly worse than the Galaxy S20 Ultra.

Felt like such a huge upgrade from iPhone 11 pro Max to OP8 Pro.
OP8 pro is just better in every department.

- Better battery life and fast charging technology.
- More functionality and features rich Ui.
- Unlimited customization and snappier software experience.
- Overall better camera.
- Better Display, Pedestrian 60hz can't compete.

And the best part is that, it cost me exactly half of the iPhone 11 pro Max.

    You simply cannot handle Chinese flagships out performing iPhone or Samsung devices in benchmarks or DxOMark test.
    Get well soon pal 😇

      Dx0mark was previously a Sony shéep 🐑 and Sony abused this tool extensively to rank its Xperia lineups on top score.

        When something doesn't fit in your mouth you bring in some out of the box reasons to explain it.
        DXOMARK doesn't review ultrawide or telephoto lens video. So, your foolish blame on bad ultrawide video doesn't really answer his question.
        Have you even read DXO review ?

            IpsDisplay, 05 Oct 2020(S20 ultra) Con:   **Slow autofocus in low light**   ... moreYou're totally forgetting something and so is your DXO.
            You completely ignored the regular everyday focus hunting of S20 ultra.

                Disappointing camers result for the price ,add to that the flickering back light used to lower the screen brightness which harm the people with sensitive eyes, and the result is ...no to overpriced samsung

                    IPhone plain sucks in video from telephoto and Ultrawide lens.

                    Low light video is also Meh compared to 2020 flagships.

                    Also video mode of iPhone lacks a lot of things present on other flagships.

                      The ocassional miss will be there.
                      It just would be 9/10 times correctly focusing compared to other cameras with which focus 10/10 times.

                      Autofocus is slightly slower compared to Find X2 pro and P40 pro.
                      Not a huge deal.

                        Well well well. Never a fan of Samsung in terms of image processing, till today.

                        The details explanation & comparison says it all.

                          I really don't like that most reviews (99%) are not really professional, they do not record exact testing environments, like camera app version and firmware version and for some Samsung devices, you need separate review's, because they utilize Exynos and Snapdragon - so different ISPs are used...

                              For that price they should also include the fastest charger, wireless earbuds and a case.

                                A phone that costs 1300 Euro should have the best camera on the market. It doesn't matter what you say or what kind of arguments you bring. For that kind of price it should be the best of the best. There is zero excuse.
