Video blogger Marques Brownlee named the Asus ZenFone 7 Pro the best camera smartphone in a blind test. The corresponding video is available on the blogger's YouTube channel.
As part of the testing that Brownlee conducts annually, the author selected 16 smartphones from various manufacturers released in 2020. The list includes devices from Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei, OnePlus, Asus, LG, Google, Sony, Microsoft, Oppo and Motorola. The blogger divided the devices into pairs and took the same photo on the camera of each device. Brownlee then uploaded the pictures to his Twitter account with 4.4 million followers and invited users to blindly vote for each photo.
The blogger noted that following the results of the first round of voting, top smartphones from OnePlus, Google, Microsoft, LG, Oppo, Xiaomi, as well as the current flagship iPhone 12 Pro Max, took off from the test. Four devices remained in the semifinals – Huawei Mate 40 Pro, Asus ZenFone 7 Pro, Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra and Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra.
The final vote was won by the flagship Asus, which overtook its rival Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra with 54 percent of the vote. In conclusion, the blogger noted that each photo was taken in automatic mode and was not post-processed.
In 2019, Marquez Brownlee conducted a similar test, according to which the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ was the best cameraphone of the year. The device reached the final of blind voting, ahead of the Samsung Galaxy S10e.
