They re-reviewed the Pixel with a new test protocol, and the iPhone 8 is being compared to the results from that new test, whereas you're quoting the old values: https://www.dxomark.com/google-pixel-camera-review-retested-...

They did that about a week before issuing the iPhone 8+ review... I wonder why.

Edit: Also one day before the iPhone event on September 12. The purpose was clearly to create a situation under which they could have the iPhone win.

If it is true they do stuff to please sponsors it's equally suspicious they never reviewed the iPhone 7 Plus camera when Google used their numbers while presenting the Pixel phone.

Because the Pixel was the previous best device.
