                why did they put the S21U on top of the list, the N20U takes WAY better photos in comparison

                  What!!! GSMArena , you replaced Realme 6 Pro with Realme 7 Pro , The 6 Pro had a telephoto camera with much better zoom clarity ( Actually no justification to drop 2x zoom module ) then 7 Pro dedicated 64Mp. ( Provided you have 8Mp telephoto ) but that's not the case. Again Night Mode , photos though excellent & sharper then 6 Pro they are dark thus providing less details , colours , contrast ( See your own review where you said 7 pro night photos are dark ). Again videos are all better in 6 Pro ( Only no EIS in 4k but clarity is more )
                  Disappointed with your change.
                  This is only for camera review though other things are better.

                    The Xperia 1II and 5II deserve a place as a separate photo smartphone, finally it is not the smartphone that takes the photo but the user.

                      I never understood why OnePlus phones are always listed at the top of the camera phones. Even OnePlus CEO agrees that their camera quality is bad and needs improvements.

                        I think both Oppo Find X2 Pro and Sony Xperia 5 II deserve a place in this list.

                          YourGuide, 11 Dec 2020They forgot to put LG and Sony in the list. LG V60 Thinq an... moreYep both of them have such a good camera they should have been on this list. I think gsmarena is not putting that much effort now a days in their website. The mi 10 ultra stands no chance against sony xperia 5 II.

                            They forgot to put LG and Sony in the list. LG V60 Thinq and Sony Xperia 5 II, in my opinion, have good manual camera and can shoot more realistic and flat pictures. I don't know why but these phones has better camera software than the others.

                              It might be worth mentioning which variants of the Samsung devices are on the list. The photography as well as the performance on the Exynos takes a huge hit and for the most might might not be that high on the list.

Maybe they missed a model here and there , but I have seen more baised sites , already DxoMark ratings are looking fuzzy as per my earlier comment.

( which means excellent cam.) , apart from daylight , nothing is good in evening or night light , including Primary , whereas Realme x2 pro got 92 despite having telephoto & much better nightmode. Some phone ratings are good , some ratings are just confusing.
