Smithravi, 10 Dec 2020I'm talking after I did research from all sources and ... moreSorry Sir, but the best Camera phone is not just about the "pro" mode. The pro mode also depends on the user n expert skills. There is auto mode, night mode, portrait mode, dynamic range, color accuracy, color saturation, features, n plenty more.

YUKI93, 13 Dec 2020Best Flagship of 2020? Definitely the Sony Xperia 5 ii. IP6... morei would say flagship of the year has to go to the ZFold2, samsung is exploring new waters with this incredibly great and expensive phone and one of the best displays in the industry. Flagship killer easily would be the 12 mini cus of the small size and midrange price with its lack of compromises. and who put zflip in the flagship killer section? i think they want zflip to commit suicide lol if u know what i mean

Best Flagship of 2020? Definitely the Sony Xperia 5 ii. IP68 rating? Check. 120Hz refresh rate? Check. microSD card slot? Check. 3.5mm audio jack? Check. Really, THE only 2020 flagship phone that can give that Sony a run for the money is the LG V60 ThinQ 5G.
Best Flagship Killer of 2020? My vote goes for the Apple iPhone 12 mini. Finally, the small-sized phone era is back! I definitely hope that Android OEM would follow this footstep instead of removing the 3.5mm audio jack and charger in the box.
I'm surprised that both Sony Xperia 1 ii and 5 ii is not inside the 'Best Camera phone of 2020', but my vote from the list goes to the Vivo X50 Pro. The gimbal OIS is definitely a world's first. Would love to see how Vivo can improve the whole system for the future X series model.
The 'Best Trailblazer phone of 2020' definitely goes to the LG Wing 5G. While the Microsoft Surface Duo is thin, the dual-display idea is not new. LG has been doing it with the DualScreen case as far as 2019. We even saw that idea before with 2017 ZTE Axon M, 2013 NEC Medias W, and 2011 Kyocera Echo. ZTE Axon 20 5G's only selling point is the under-display camera, everything else is the same as any other generic bar smartphone.

The only area where Sony is behind is in zoom capabilities and night mode. In all other aspects it had much better colours and details than Samsung. Most of these reviews you find here are done using default AUTO mode. Just check the samples on Reddit taken using Photo Pro settings and edited in Adobe or Snapseed. Samsung, Huaweii or even Samsung looks waste.

Smithravi, 07 Dec 2020Sony takes better pictures than ONE PLUS or even Samsung. J... moreSony had a good camera, but have u try to compare it with Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra n Huawei Mate 40 Pro Plus n Iphone 12 Pro Max by yourself? Or u just looks from one source then think, ow that's the best.
Be more realistic, in fact i love Sony phone, even i didn't have it, but i know their camera was not that great. Yes, it has flagship grade camera system, but can it beat Samsung? LOL No! Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is still takes better picture from it. Even Huawei Mate 40 Pro still a better one. Oneplus? It's not a "camera" phone. Samsung & Huawei still leading for that title. Not Sony, Not Xiaomi, Not Oppo, Vivo n another 2/5MP macro joke from quad camera phones. But why don't u try by yourself to compare them then comeback here to argue.

I agree OnePlus traditionally might have never had a great camera but the OnePlus 8 pro changed everything.
It is certainly better than Xperia which is subpar in Auto mode compared to other flagships.
Pixel, Yes it is overrated but the the Pixel in Auto mode does produce similar quality images as Xperia in manual mode. Why fiddle with manual settings when one can get as good of an image in 1s in Auto mode?

iOS.Never.Again, 08 Dec 2020It isn't in the list as it is not that Good. I mean no other phone offers 4K 120fps in 10-bit HDR, or 20fps burst shot or even recording within BT2020 colour gamut at all. At least Sony are doing something correctly, I would hope. If Oneplus 8 Pro (no 4K 60fps HDR, plus the general fact that one plus has never had a good camera like ever- google 'gcam for oneplus' and see how popular that is) and Pixel 5 (with a 1/2.55" sensor- IMX 363, 2016 called and it wants it's sensor back. Pixel is overrated as they make your photo look pretty by software but once you zoom in it all falls apart, plus even without zooming in there is a massive difference in quality- almost 4 years technology worth. Video is massacred by pixel, you can tell sensor is outdated and again no 4K 60fps HDR) can make it on that list, anything can. Plus the whole point of the vote is to hear public opinion, if you choose what goes on that list and exclude other companies e.g. Motorola (Edge Plus) & Xperia, that is not a vote anymore- anyone seen 'The Dictator' with tanks outside voting booths, this is the equivalent. You force people to choose, at least add an 'other' box to make it fair.
