With the craze of cameras in the smartphone rising wildly, we have also seen a hike in the camera performance of smartphones these days. Many OEMs have focused their attention on the camera module in their upcoming smartphones. This has led to the arrival of some heavy camera beasts in the smartphone market which are nothing less than any highly equipped DSLR or something. Talking about cameras, the Mi Note 10 held the top spot as the best camera smartphone with a Dxomark score of 121.
Well, the Mi Note 10 was no longer the talk as soon as the Oppo Find X2 Pro launched. The Oppo Find X2 Pro doesn’t have larger sensors compared to the Mi Note 10. However, thanks to the better optimization the Find X2 Pro dethroned the Mi Note 10 and became the best camera smartphone with a Dxomark score of 124.
Although, the Oppo Find X2 Pro also couldn’t hold its position for too long. Huawei launched its all-time killer flagship series of smartphones. The Huawei P40 Pro was Huawei’s answer to every other flagship out there in the market. Within days of its launch, the Huawei P40 Pro shattered the record of the Oppo Find X2 Pro. The Huawei P40 Pro scored a whopping Dxomark score of 128 out of the back camera and 103 out of the front camera. With that, the P40 Pro gained the top spot of the best camera smartphone and the best selfie camera smartphone as well.

We had earlier expected the Galaxy S20 Ultra to score at least 125. But looking at the current trends where larger sensors don’t really matter, we might see something interesting coming soon. The Find X2 Pro, as well as the P40 Pro, didn’t, have 108 MP sensors or anything. But, they managed to beat smartphones that had 108 MP sensors.
Well, the Galaxy S20 Ultra is the best yet flagship offered by Samsung. With this device, Samsung has put in all its efforts to bring out the best ever flagship they could manufacture. The Galaxy S20 Ultra features a 10x Optical zoom compared to the P40 Pro’s 5X optical zoom. Also, Samsung has very neatly optimized the cameras for clicking great pictures and recording awesome videos. The Galaxy S20 Ultra uses a newer ISOCELL Bright HM1 image sensor and not to forget the awesome 100x Space Zoom feature.
Keeping all these in mind we now expect the Galaxy S20 Ultra to score anywhere between 128-134. We also have high expectations that the Galaxy S20 Ultra would be able to beat the Huawei P40 Pro. Let’s wait and see if it would be able to dethrone the P40 Pro and become the new king or the P40 Pro would be able to keep its position safe and sound and remain the camera beast.

Talking about the videos, the devices does a fairly good job with videos that have a nice saturation and skin tones. The color rendering is also pretty good in the videos.
