Comparing em clearly shows actual result.

              Every one knows that the google pixl 2 xl cant even stand with the iphone x and samsung galaxy s9+ in almost any field especially camera. However the Samsung Galaxy S9+ has a better camera than the iPhone x for its ability to shift between 2 states for having a better lightning. But now things had changed, and a new phone had taken the trophy of best camera ever which is the Huawei p20 pro with a triple cameras it crushes all cell phones in this cell phones in this field.

                  Whackcar, 27 Mar 2018Just the fact that you think DXOmark is a reputable source ... moreHowever the pointstill stands true. Regardless of their not so great source.
                  The pixel was never the king to begin with. Just good dynamic range.
                  The s9 takes much better quality and more realistic pictures than the pixel. Same against many other phones. Like even more so in the case of the iPhone here.

                  The pixel uses more heavily sharpened photos with a large contrast prop to be more appealing to the crowd. But it doesn't match the actually actually output the s9 is in comparison. And you could easily just change the colors and contrast in the settings ofthe much more intuitive and features app on the galaxy

                      The note 9 May have underscreen fingerprint reader. Might be the phone to wait for.

                                    BUT you're right about Pixel 2, i own a Pixel 2 XL (if you Forget the horrible Display of Pixel 2 XL) it is an awesome phone with best camera between all phones.
