if you don't count how abnormally hot the P20 got during our benchmark run. So hot, in fact, that it was actually uncomfortable to the touch, especially around the top frame of the unit.
The situation actually got so bad that we were forced to whip out our special peltier-based cooling setup and re-run the benchmarks with active cooling applied to the back of the unit.

So this is one of Dxomark's top phone cameras? Seriously?
Even the older Xperia takes better photos or they're comparable!
The low light shots are not good at all. Extreme noise reduction.
What were Dxomark thinking? Goes to show that they're really being paid to present favorable reviews for certain devices.
I wouldn't be surprised if Sony paid them at some point too.

I have both of them, not much difference. Screen and speakers are better on the Pro, and camera if you really like to zoom in and pixel peep

djst, 18 Apr 2018Just compare it with 2 years old S7 edge and you'll see tha... moreSeen it, no thanks. S7 edge is too much oversharpen and overexposed, noisier image. P20 looks more 'clean'.

I don't see a reason to buy the P20 over the now cheaper mate 10 & mate 10 pro

davidletterboyz, 18 Apr 2018Finally a proper review to compare the P20 and P20 Pro's ca... moreMarketing ploy to push customer to the pro ver. Many big brand do that, samsung with s9+ and iPhone also with plus model, even Sony with regular xz2

Finally a proper review to compare the P20 and P20 Pro's camera. Quite a number of reviewers mentioned the P20 has an inferior image quality but I personally compared their outputs, I could not find any difference at 12 and 10 MP. In fact, sometimes the non Pro's 12MP has slightly more details!
The only part which this review forgotten to write about is the 4GB RAM. IMHO, this is the only deal breaker because 4GB is just adequate nowadays. Not as future proof as 6GB.

Great camera quality. Lose the telephoto, 5x lossless zoom and a bit better low lights in pro. The size is good and in my country, u can have this p20 for $490, 2 years contract with local telco for 128gb version. Such a bargain.

On the penultimate page it says you'll be limited to 2x rather than 3x lossless zoom on the pro, but the pro has a dedicated 3x telephoto sensor and 5x lossless zoom.

Pixel.size does not matter. Photographers that comment on DPREVIEW laugh a lot when they read tech sites writing that.
12MP / 1.55 micron sensor is nothing popular among all phones.
The 12MP/1.4 is used much more.
The 13MP/1.12 micron is the most popular sold by Sony.
