The boffins in the DXOMark labs have always put all kinds of new camera smartphones through their paces. This is a website that is renowned and calls itself “an independent benchmark that scientifically assesses smartphones, lenses and cameras” and most smartphone makers are proud to quote it whenever their smartphones come up on top.
As I always say the best camera smartphone is always the one that you have in your pocket since that’s the only option you have — but with bench-marking sites like DXOMark, you can get the feel of the best in class. Don’t be surprised with the scores they give as some phones could be good in photography and another could be way better in the video. The results given by DXOMark have always aggregated results.
At the begging of 2020, the Huawei P40 Pro was on top of the DXOmark list –but how things change in less than 8 months. The table extract below is a summary of DXOMARK rankings, which have served as a valuable reference when choosing to buy a smartphone, speaker, camera or lens.
