DxOMark has been existing for over a decade but it came into light after the company started reviewing smartphone cameras. The original Google Pixel was one of the first phones to be advertised with the DxOMark score. Last year, the company even began to review audio performance of handsets. Having said that, it has now released the list of best camera, selfie, and audio smartphones.
DxOMark Camera and DxOMark Audio teams review smartphones on a regular basis when new devices hit the markets. They never publish stories on best smartphones for camera, selfie, and audio since it can be easily known from the website’s homepage.
Surprisingly, they did publish them now and here we are doing a PSA. The company has posted three different posts for each category and listed the best device along with runner-ups. That being said, let us take a look at the winners.
DxOMark Best Smartphone Cameras
DxOMark has divided this category into 6 sub-categories and the Huawei P40 Pro wins 4 of them since it is still the unbeatable king with an overall camera score of 128.
Anyway, here are the winners and runner-ups of DxOMark best smartphone cameras.

The Huawei P40 Pro excels in the camera department unlike any other smartphone released so far as per DxOMark. Unfortunately, this handset is hard to recommend due to the lack of GMS (Google Mobile Services) and other crucial daily used apps.
