Real comparison for best camera phone of 2020 should be between the following phones:
1] Mi 10 ultra (Omnivision Sensor and IMX 586 with 5x optical zoom)
2] Mi 10 Pro (HMX sensor and 2x,3.7x optical zoom)
3] Galaxy Note 20 Ultra (HM1 sensor and periscope 5x optical zoom)
4] Vivo X50 Pro+ (GN1 sensor and 2x, periscope 5x optical zoom)
5] IPhone 12 pro Max (IMX 603 sensor and laughable 2.5x optical zoom)
6] Huawei Mate 40 Pro+ (IMX 700 and periscope 10x optical Zoom)
7] Oppo Find X2 Pro (IMX 689 and periscope 5x optical zoom)
8] Galaxy S20 FE (IMX 555 and proper 3x telephoto camera unlike Galaxy S20+)

Poor iPhone 12 needs night mode ON at all times to compete in low light.

It is offering premium experience all round, so much that tons of people have imported that phone all round the globe despite being officially limited to China.
It's way way above your iPhone with 3rd grade hardware.

3). Samsung did dial back the colour saturation slider from S20 Ultra, and while photos look slightly oversaturated at times, it's still noticeably more accurate than on their past flagships. This is especially noticeable in scenes where night mode has been used.

Galaxy Note - Improved a lot over S20 U. Can do better with their abilities
iPhone 12 - Kudos to apple, for catching up with competition within a short time. A huge change within 2 generations say, from iPhone X to iPhone 12
Mate 40 - Disappointed, they have let down themselves. Mate 30 seemed better in most areas.
Sony - Happy to see you back in the big leagues, but there is a lot to cover. revamp the camera app.
@gsm -
1. Pixel 5 should have been included
2. No mention of Astrophotography
3. we understand most of the shots are in auto mode, but please Illustrate the best of each phone in their pro / manual mode

You made a big mistake:
The Low Light Shots in the ultrawide section: the Note 20 Ultra with Night mode are wrong: the fotos are the same as without night mode!
Please correct that!

With the exception of the OnePlus 8 Pro, GSMArena had already done a bunch of camera comparison before with all the phones you mentioned. So I see no point to include those mentioned phones again.

Hmm, I doubt this review comparing from their individual reviews sometimes ago. Though the writer mentioned subjectivity perhaps it may proved to be after all. Huawei camera photography has proven more consistent and this can't prove otherwise. DXOMARK is the place to go for real comparisons

They omitted 1/1.3" sensor from omnivision and 1/1.3" GN1 sensor from Samsung.
A fair comparison would be including Atleast one phone sporting each of the top flagship sensors.
They probably didn't have these phones to check and compare.
GN1 vs IMX 689 vs IMX 555/557 vs HMX/HM1 vs IMX 700 vs IMX 603.
