Huawei P20 Pro |
1. Huawei P20 Pro - The Huawei P20 Pro is the new king of DxOMark with a record breaking score of 107 total points! According to DxOMark, the camera quality of the P20 Pro is few generations ahead of the competition. It has a triple camera setup that consist of 40MP f/1.8 RGB + 20MP f/1.6 monochrome sensor + 8MP f/2.4 OIS telephoto sensor w/ 4D predictive focus, AIS, 5x zoom, 4K video recording, 960 fps slow motion, and dual tone LED flash.
Both Apple and Huawei dominated the top 10 list with 3 phones each inside DxOMark's top 10 list. But, Huawei has the stronger impact since its lowest ranked phone is just as good as Apple's highest ranked phone.
Next is Samsung with two phones, Xiaomi with 1 phone, and Google with 1 phone in the list.
