Something about Asian companies then.  Huawei, Samsung, Sony all bribe.  Samsung supposedly even bribes the South Korean government and their CEO went to prison?

Maybe Samsung can bribe someone at DxOMark?

Sony has done it with XZ3, they held off the test results from DxO until recently so that their upcoming Xperia 1 will look better in comparison. DxO already admitted that unlike the very short and rushed camera review on XZ3 they will write the full-length article for Xperia 1's camera performance. Clearly Sony is planning to shock everyone by showing how massively they have managed to improve their smartphone camera system through the collaboration with Sony's own Alpha team. XZ3 users, however, must be very, very upset right now.

Neither Huawei nor Samsung are ethically wonderful companies.  They can go bribe whomever they want, I will not buy either's products.

If anything, Huawei's already done so long ago. Aside from aspects of their testing, highly questionable, but ultimately lacking in hard evidence, they could dictate when DxO releases a score(a la Mate20P, as they publically admitted themselves), while otherwise DxO would release a score at the time of a product's launch or as soon as they conclude their tests.
Also, when the score is the same, results are ordered alphabetically, simply that H is before S, not that the Samsung is behind the other 109's.
