    The zoom shots are done differently. It might not entirely depend on the main sensor.

    Read the para where GSMARENA does addition tests of shooting full resolution images.

      Nick Tagataka, 17 Jan 2021I see, no problem :)Actual camera or any benchmark tests are made illegal by Samsung until the final updates role out.

        Shamesung-crapple, 15 Jan 2021Does this s21 series have 1 Billion colours on display... 10bit?I think almost all the displays now a days comes with 10bit, if they are HDR capable
        There might be few HDR with 8bit I guess. But then HDR content would not look good.

I remembered watching a 2019 YouTube video about camera comparison between the Exynos S10e and the Snapdragon S10e, and I got to admit that I seem to lean the Snapdragon version more.

                    Xiaomi photos are over sharp and looks artificial, not to mention terrible low light photos. And I'm not going into the video. Samsung will blow Xiaomi out of this galaxy in video recording.

                            Shui8, 16 Jan 2021Honestly, mark my words, S21 Ultra will snatch the top spot... moreYeah I agree with you, not because S21ultra will be a big jump in quality than Notw 20 ultra.
                            Because of the 2 zoom lens and one at 10x zoom.
                            DxO has suspiciously given lot of points for zoom camera. So who had best zoom camera was likely to win even if main cam had less performance.

                                    The problem with Samsung is, they never really push the ISP of Exynos because of SD version lacking.
                                    This is one of the thing Why I hate 2 version. We get all the lacking of the Exynos but do not get any advantages.
