DxOMark review process has been updated with the addition of two new scores – one for ultra wide-angle cameras and one for night mode. Various phones were tested using the new protocols, updated reviews and recalculated scores.
You can get more info about how the Night score and the Wide score are calculated. You can also go back to several old reviews to read details on how they performed in each category (note that DxOMark is still in the process of updating the reviews, some just feature the recalculated score for now).
