This is why no one trusts DXO, even the 16 Pro Max is mid pack. Laughable score.

And exactly who are you? I'll tell you, your a nobody who's phone got beat by the competitor and now feel the need to talk s*** like a keyboard warrior.

Honestly, feel like mobile photography has plateaued. There was that one break through with Pixels and iPhones with using machine learning AI algorithms to improve night mode but since then honestly can't really tell the difference between a phone today and one from 5 years ago in image quality. Not unless you blow up the image on a large 4k screen and zoom in, but on a small phone screen it's just diminishing returns.

The only real improvements now seem to be from brute forcing through hardware. Sticking oversized sensors into a phone like the Chinese OEMs are doing now.

Would of expected night mode video by now but I guess it's just not there yet and we're still a generation or 2 until that becomes mainstream.

I couldn't care less about these phones but I can't resist the temptation to ask - are you the trusted one, more than DxO? Are we supposed to trust you instead, LeKiwi, and your rich references with huge portfolio of tested devices?

Ah yes, dxomark, the userbenchmark of phone reviews. Why care about them, they're paid for(only distinguishing thing between dxomark and userbenchmark who's biased for free), how can so many phones with smaller sensors beat those with 1 inch sensors? It's physics, software and ai/processing can't beat physics and all the one inch main cam phones are superior to everything else on the market, yet the vivo x100 ultra and xiaomi 14 ultra aren't even in top 10 on dxomark, meanwhile the oppo find x7 ultra is 4th I think which is better but not worse conpared to the iphones ahead of it.
