Valid point.
I hate those websites and YouTubers who biasedly rate their favorite phones. Just want to grab money and gain views. What I need is discover a trusted and knowledgeable person (not someone who just wants to advocate for a brand or takind side of a smartphone in particular) to provide accurate info on phones through testing them directly and share the results.
a glance at Snapdragon test.
With the camera, I'd check the blind test, comparing mobile phone photos without knowing which photo was taken from which phone's camera and finally checking the results to see which images received the most votes. I think camera is the most important thing and normally people spend a lot of money on it, to me I love shooting street photography scenes, at this point almost all phones in the same range would offer that to me and if i want a phone with high quility camera i think i should go for flagships.
