test on 2.5x + 8x while phone have 3x 10x optical?
test on prerelease firmware while it got 3-4 update after that?
Chinese phone always done after Official announcement with firmware from nowhere that customer never get it?

Third class thermal management.

mooox, 02 Mar 2021tech reviewers that don't give good comments about new... moreI doubt Apple blacklists reviewers because most of the reviewers I heard bought the units themselves and Apple's marketing strategy was pretty weak. They lacked advertising (but they do have some), compared to Samsung and Xiaomi which are rather aggressive.
Rather it's brands like Samsung and Xiaomi trying to do so. For instance just look at TechChap's Exynos vs SD review and he tried to hide something. The Exynos version was sent by Samsung, yet had the golden binned chipset and throttled less without measuring CPU temperature. Several reviewers have criticized Apple (ex. throttling, 60Hz display) and no video has been removed or flagged.
Xiaomi is the same as I have seen a lot of reviewers receiving loan units.

DxO is both right & wrong.
They are right when 2.5x & 8.0x zoom are better on S20. 2.5x zoom from main sensor somehow better on S20 because S21 does not use Super Res algorithm, but just crop & upscale instead. 8x zoom are better on S20 because digitally from 4x optical while S21 from 3x optical + smaller sensor.
The wrong part is DxO is too tight on its stupid protocol which doesnt test each optical zoom (3x & 10x) using maximum potential on each phone. This goes the same as Mate 40 Pro+ review, zoomed at 170mm instead of 80mm & 240mm optical (but score higher as its using Super Res algorithm intelligently on intermediate zoom)
About the firmware issue, Samsung should handle DxO the unit with uncertified newer firmware for them to review (same as Apple & Huawei does). On that particular part, its Samsung's fault for not paying attention about it. AF issue maybe because of the bad early firmware used. (Theres also a lot of complains of bad firmware S21 Ultra has, which turns 1x, 3x & 10x into digital zoom 🥴)

This is totally BS and just shows how DxO scores are unreliable. Whoever have ever used both phones obviously knows that S21 Ultra is a clear winner in almost every aspect. S21 Ultra sports 10x and 3x optical zoom, why the HECK they are testing telephoto IQ with 8x and 2.5x?? For sure the IQ will be disappointing as 8x and 2.5x is digital cropping. To be fair they should have tested 10x and 3x which is purely optical. They don't have any damn idea what they're doing. smh

If PUBG was a real game, then people would not go rushing for scopes ,because they have their S21 Ultra with scopes for both short & long range fightd

It's funny how S20 ultras result was a disappointment back then, and now it is still better than any other Samsung phone

I don't own a S21 Ultra but every single comparison I've seen online shows that the S21 Ultra is better than the S20 Ultra in every single possible way in the camera department. I'm really not sure how DxoMark came to a score like this

Nobody is wondering why DxOMark "reviews" are amplified as "news" on supposedly rival sites?
This is total BS.

P C M, 02 Mar 2021Many of them are from EU too. For example, SuperSafHistorically Supersaf hasn't put a lot of emphasis on detail processing, which S21U has a severe problem with.
