  2. Why do you say confusingly? I mean it’s just a fraction. You would never say that one half is smaller than 1/4 because 2 is smaller than 4 😂

  3. While the light score is a good scale, its certainly not a tell-all. The Huawei Pura 80 Ultra is the top in every category, but the quality of images are not nearly as good as the big 3, OnePlus, Huawei, Vivo, or Oppo’s past 2 flagships

  4. Thank you for explaining the factors that affect a good quality photo.
    Thank you for sharing theTable of LIGHT SCORE of each camera too.

    The ready available Table helps me to consider which mobile phone camera I should buy for my photography interest (portrait, landscape, macro or telephoto).
    I came across your YouTube through Google search about camera sensors
