They had to make sure all of the bugs/issue should be fixed before handing over to DxO (or maybe can warn 1st not to be published). Huawei in the other hand in this matter, well prepared. I dont see nothing wrong with it.

    The software update will send to consumer afterwards, like they always did previously.

      hmmm....

      ".... it appears that DxOMark has performed those tests on software that isn't available to customers at launch. This is typically the norm with DxOMark's launch reviews."

      the problem is that the competitors never get a review after updating the software. in order to level the field....

          All phones give you a exposure slider for that purpose and additionally some of them (e.g. Huawei phones) have a spot metering option, too.

          "When you shoot a subject in such conditions there is a great chance that subject will be underexposed but there is also a chance that if subject is properly exposed there will be nothing to see outside the window"
          You're saying this from your own artistic standpoint that strong contrast will always make a photo look more attractive. Human eyes capture very wide DR and if you edit an image to match what we actually see then you'll end up getting a fairly flat looking image, which is what essentially ALL HDR processing (not just phone's auto HDR, but also the one found inside some of dedicated cameras as well as the manual bracketing option on photo editing apps) are trying to achieve. As Shui8 already mentioned this could work well for many landscape and architecture shots, and is potentially useful for many other scenario as well depending on a situation.

            I wish all news sites just boycott dxomark. Websites like this should just source camera reviews from their own testing

              Anonymous, 30 Jul 2021What apps did not work on your Huawei p40 pro? because of l... moreEvery game or app that was reliant on Google play services didn't work.
              No HD Netflix, Amazon prime playback.

              For me the most important payment app.... Gpay didn't work.
              I can live without maps, gmail, youtube (I use newpipe) and the other garbage from Google like photos, assistant, etc. But I can't live without Gpay.

              If Huawei allowed bootloader unlock, one could easily install another ROM and get rid of these issues. But on Huawei, with locked bootloader... One cannot do much.

              On my Mi 11 Ultra, I have unlocked bootloader, but I don't see the need to change from Stock Chinese ROM as everything works great.

Camera software plays a huge role, so you can't just say that things like the huawei p50 pro/iPhone 12 pro max are worse just because of the worse camera hardware.
