    Man answer is very easy. Apple and SSamsung are available to sell in 202 out of 206 countries in the world.
    Apple and Samsung marketing which is like 4 billion per year and its rising by half billion every new year does very good job.

    If brand like Xiaomi, Realme, Vivo, Oppo, Meizu etc would be available in 200+ countries to sale they could be very easy winners,
    Since to Chinese brand is allowed to be sold within any physical stores in North America region US and Canadian citizens cant have hands on on cheaper but obviously better phones.

    Wish governents all across the world would ban all brands which dont sell complete devices i mean charger, earplugs, earphones, maybe a slot for SD card and case included in the box. So once again wish that incomplete devices wouldnt not be possible to sell anyhere within the world many would be solved.

    Also wish all brands should be available to be sold anywhere within the world.
    Then your favorite Apple and Samsung woudlnt be even top 10 maybe not even top 20 because for 1/2 or 2/3 of the price most chinese manufacturers output a lot better devices a proper flagships with chargers, earophones, and case in the box included.

    Is simple as that.

    Just another example Elon Musk Tesla brand is most sold EV brand in the world and Elon Musk and Tesla never spend even a single penny on any kind of advertising.

    To prove your company is worthy customers, family and friends do the advertising for you because once you are happy with said brand you will stick to it for as long as it does not fails you at least twice. Easy reason why many people loves chinese brands over Samsung or Apple etc.

    Its simple as that.
    If you desied Samsung and Apple were such great they wouldnt spend several billions a year for advertising because good things sells on its own without need to spend several billions on a useless but usually false promotion where in the end you get what you want by force from company in case of advertising which been easily proved it was an obvious fake but when you realise that its usually too late.

    Just my 5 cents.
    Anyway wish a great day to everyone.

        Man still Honor magic is the best followed by Huawei which is obvious and well known fact.
        When comes to camera Huawei brand and sub brand were always kings past 5-10 years no matter how much others were trying.

          It is visible that Samsung has less details, but it is pure pixel peeping. I,m glad that Samsung with 23U finally stopped oversharpening. I hope it keeps this way. 70mm lens is the weakest point.
          Vivo looks best of them all.

            I prefer Samsung and Xiaomi, VIvo overexposes the image a bit sometimes and make photos more oversharpened. I think VIvo X90 Pro+ is overrated.

              If the Vivo X90 Pro can beat the ultra flagships here .imagine what theX90 Pro+ could be capable of??? Vivo should release it outside china...I'm gonna get one soon..upgrading from my X60,most loved phone ever used

                      comparisons are mostly nerds, majority of people will be happy with any of them and may even like punchy colors and over saturated and over sharpened photos.
                      Its us nerds, that want the in depth comparison to see which takes the most realistic and true to life photos.
                      Dont praise punchy and over sharpened photos, dear GSMArena.
                      And remember, there are many guys like me that make decisions based on GSMArena reviews, please stay real.

                        I think the best night time shot is the realest one. I dont want "brighter" photos that is nothing like what my eyes see.
                        I think the default option in any phone should be the realistic photo. The closest thing a pair of healty eyes can see. If you want more vibrant or punchy color, then choose the option. If you want over sharpened photo, choose that. Brighter is NOT better.

                          Instead of using two xiaomi phones, you could have included another phone like the moto edge 30 ultra, for example. Or sony´s latest flagship and an iphone ,just for comparison.

                            Anonymous, 18 Mar 2023why is apple not in this contest? to not lose its reputation?Probably due to this: "testing the best Android phones for photography", they only included Androids in this one. If the title was "best phones for photography", then they would have to include Apple as well as it's a broader test in that case.

                                        samsung will probably milk small sensors till 1 inch for at least 3-4 more generations and people will still buy it
