Google Makes The Best Smartphone Cameras | Blind Test Results

Results from Over 20 Million Votes
There are going to be few people who are voting to mess around. But when the sample size is hundreds of thousands of voters that are voting with the intention of finding the best smartphone camera for themselves in a blind test is going to minimize the effect of the "bad votes". The results are more in line with what the technology enthusiasts are interested in. Considering the 18.1 Million subscriber count of Marques Brownlee, there should be many normies among his voters who know very little about technology. I think the video above is based off on a good data set that can be used to make important financial decisions.
Average Elo Rating
Elo rating is a method for calculating the relative skill levels of players in zero sum games created by Arpad Elo. It is not an acronym! You have seen the rating system in actions in many video games with slight modifications such as minimum rating gains, win streak bonuses etc. Elo has proven to be a very useful system.
I am very happy to see Fairphone 5 making it to the test. I did not expect to see it in the list. In a previous year I had Asus Zenfone turn out to be my pick after the blind test. The results were different for me this year. I will share them later down the article.
Elo Per Dollar
There is only a small number of individuals who must have the greatest results from their devices. A high quality is more than enough for most use cases. I want to live as frugally as possible and focus on investing when the markets are primed for some parabolic uptrends. The screenshot above is the most valuable part in the video IMO.
Different Individuals; Different Needs
The best choice for me could be a terrible choice for me. If I switched to a desktop computer, I will do fine because I live in the house of my parents and I have not moved my laptop in months. For a digital nomad, there is no desktop computer that will fit their needs even if it was given away for free. That is why you should go to this website and figure out what the best option for you is.

Consider Getting DeGoogled Android
Google Pixel devices are the easiest and most supported devices to install a DeGoogled operating system. There are many choices and most of them work beautifully on Google Pixel devices getting updates even after Google abandon these devices. Few of your choices are,
- CalyxOS
- LineageOS
- /e/OS
- GrapheneOS
Open source projects are even catching upto the AI processing in the camera. One thing I was worried about was loosing the quality of images and videos in the quest to get rid of Google. I find the loss of quality to be acceptable and the propriatary camera app from Google can be installed on a DeGoogled phone. The owner of the device has a choice!
Interesting to know this vs. From years to know I always listen that the better cameras come fron Pixels and Iphones.
