Camera Testing Methodology:
Each test includes Photo and Video components, with individual scores for the main, ultra-wide, telephoto and front camera. The sum of these individual camera scores forms the overall Photo or Video score, while the total Camera Score is an average of the two.

Camera Testing Conditions:
Camera testing conditions:All camera tests are conducted using the default camera app in automatic mode, with factory settings (HDR, AI scene detection, and stabilization left as enabled by default).
For fairness, each phone is tested under identical lighting conditions as the others.
Photo testing includes measurement of color accuracy, detail, exposure and more. Video testing includes measurements of color accuracy, detail retention, stabilization and exposure consistency.
All tests are performed on new retail units running the latest available firmware at the time of testing.
Note: Real-world camera performance may vary depending on lighting, software updates, and user-selected settings such as filters or manual modes.
