Let me clarify: we have shuffled the order of the phones for each scene.

It is so easy to recognize the pixel in the selfie picture.

the competition was tight tbh, although there is one phone that does not compare to the others (in the bad way) want to know which one is it

add 100% crops or zoom on a particular object in each section, this way voting needs to load all images and takes some time

You will be able to see such crops in an upcoming camera comparison.

My personal opinion is that 100% crops do more to mislead in such comparison, as they focus solely on how detailed a picture is. Anyway, you can always do this check yourself by looking at the full-res photos.

HTC U11 plus would have been a strong contender you missed out.

Yet another blind comparison for best camera of year 2017 that totally skipped HTC U11 or even better U11+. How is it possible? :)

I don't like it when there are so many camera, it really is difficult to conclude a winner. Would it be possible to keep these comparisons between 2-4 with comparison champs included in the "best" comparisons. A single window pane would be helpful for comparisons sake

no sense in continually including cameras that have consistently performed below others.

I remember last time they made 3 a comparision between 3 phones, several people commented why there is no Pixel 2 or Huawei there, so I guess it is caused by that.
I would prefer as you said only 3 phones.

PhoneArena, I would much prefer if somehow you could manage the voting in such a way that I can see which one I voted to when next time I see the results.
For example: Canon phone has 55% while Panasonic (Your choice) has 30% and Nikon has 15% .
I usually write them so I see which phone suite me more.
I understand that this could be hard especially since not all voters has accounts,and it could be a bad idea for some reason I didn't thought of, but I hope you consider that.

Seems a lot of people have tendency to vote for the brighter image, brighter isn't always better.

if that what most people think it looks better and more pleasing to look at then it is better ( it is no nuclear science hidden with mysteries )

Here’s a idea PA. Do another camera test.

Good grief.

When iPhones were lagging behind the competition in dynamic range, we never saw photos with difficult dynamic range in PA's blind comparisons.
Now that the competition is better in detail and low light, you can't find any 100% crop or low light photo. :)

This what I commented in another comparison. The comparison should use a good mix of photots so that the comparison is not unintentionally/intentionally geared to the strengths of a camera for a one particular situation that may occur.
