    I know this comment is nearly 1 month old, but let me ask you this: Have you ever used a dedicated camera before? If so then that should naturally answer your question. Software is a part of an equation but hardware also plays a significant part in ALL cameras' image quality.

        Biggest bummer is not the lack of GMS, but the poor screen even for 2020 not mentioning 2021. No qHD+, no 1 billion colors, no 120hz refresh rate! I got all of those in my x2 pro and trust me when I put it next to my wife's p40pro it is like night and day (and both phones cost the same including the fact the p40pro has no GMS)! That talks a lot for mate40 series too since they have same as p40pro screen just 0.2" bigger!

          And if you don't and never will spend money on a huawei phone, how will you ever know how good the camera performs?

            What has this got to do with iPhones?

            Stop changing the conversation.

              All I read was the dynamic range is fairly wide , and some highlight clipping in some situations.

                Dxo mark should come down. There is no.way any phone would be better for front facing camera then zenfone6/7 or pixel 3xl.

                The video quality on the Zenfone matches top brands let alone selfie video and photo. Pixel on the other hand has best photography.

                Huawei/damsung/apple are good but not that good.

And everyone can see that hurts you feeling. But it is ok maybe some day they will realize that 12mp is not good enough. The pictures they use as comparison shows it all good enough.
                  Maybe some day apple will catch up with the better phones.

                          If one looks at Huawei camera hardware which is constantly at the forefront of camera tech, why is one surprise it gets top marks in reviews?
                          BTW, I would love to see GSM go into more detail on the free-form lens used in Huawei ultrawide.

But DxOMark and gsmarena.com are PROBABLY marketing partners. I have zero trust on DxOMark's dubious camera rating system. DxOMark's collaboration with phone makers is clearly at work here. Coming up with complete camera lab test results just a few days after a phone is announced! That's clear evidence of testing 'sponsorship' and fishy collaboration. Just too much conflict of interest. Huawei and other phone manufacturers also sponsor gsmarena.com reviews but at least gsmarena.com tempers their biases to the sponsors in their reviews and there's no 'magical' rating at the end of the review that puts an OVERALL benchmark score of the phone as compared to others.
