Rkm, 22 Feb 2021Saw someone on reddit using gcam which had portrait mode on 70mm telephoto. It was rather good.If it can, for sure its better than what Samsung provided.

Or did you mean that Samsung has the best marketing team? That seems to be their major effort recently.

This test was done prematurely. 4 updates since release and AUB9 is the latest and greatest.

But the fact is, the most favourites portraits FL by researchers, are at 80/85mm.

Comparing a phone with 3-4 months of updates to the camera software to a new phone with new hardware and no updates is stupid. I bet next patch and we would see dramatic differences

The low light night mode 240mm equivalent photos are very impressive. I wonder whether a tripod was used?

But I think that ≈55mm is the best field of view for portraits. Though in the future there might be smartphone cameras with a lower depth of field, then 65mm could be the best option as there would be more natural background blur at 65mm.

Also theoretically, the S21 Ultra periscope camera hardware has a 1.32x lossless zoom advantage regarding detail per angle (in comparison with the Note 20 Ultra) and an approximately 2.1x lossless zoom advantage regarding daylight noise.

Lol, that's a big "if". All right, go ahead and prove it then. Has there been any instance where they showcased a similar video technology as the one on Mi 11 and GSMArena made an article about it? I don't think so. So where is your assumption (that I'm only reacting because it's a Chinese brand) coming from, huh?
"Xiaomi simply is boosting ISO"
Not really because that would lead to substantial colour degradation and increase in noise level. BlinkAI uses machine learning to analyse each frame and enhance it without degrading their quality (Go check out their demo video), and runs on SD888's NPU for real-time processing. If a simple ISO boost works better then many companies would've done it in the first place.
"many phones today get spanked by old Lumia 808"
808 captures better details thanks to a 41MP Bayer sensor, but that's pretty much it. Take it to more challenging situation and you will see it quickly falling apart.
