Is posting about DALL-E 2 too obvious? Naah, the results speak for themselves:

Putting so little effort (if any) in making photo outcomes equal should be forbidden. You literally can't describe the processing of S22 Ultra as a whole, because the variants are completely different.

They're a huge corp, at their disposal are DSPs, GPUs, CPUs and most basically ISP tuning itself. With proper work, basing on the ISP alone, they could reach barely distinguishable difference (at least without looking very close). With help of external block and implementing true raw processing, they could absolutely reach the same kind of output, using the same processing code.
What's more crazy is that it isn't the first generation of Samsung flagships with drastic photo differences.
My POV: Nothing is yet to prove itself as company providing anything but uncommon design, it's very likely that dev-side stuff won't go any further than OnePlus (despite Nothing *NOT* being owned by Oppo nor BBK as a whole). Squashed kernel source and its extensions and pretty much no other public resources is what I personally expect.

My Hanlon's razor is full of doubt. Nothing would really have to hire highly incompetent people for them to misinterpret SoC characteristics so much. Otherwise it's just a lie they (rightfully) thought nobody big is going to undermine.

For reference: the plus stands for only the boosted CPU and GPU clocks, while they absolutely contradict themselves by saying that "Qualcomm added features just for this phone" just right after a sentence claiming they belong to the SoC. As much as we can't rule out whether Qualcomm helped in design past offering the QRD as basis, charging features mostly belong to the PMIC of choice. If anything real world can be concluded from their words, it's that it's likely that their PMICs are solely Qualcomm-made, which is pretty typical in the industry when OEM doesn't target higher BOM cuts or features going beyond Qualcomm's offering.

(sure, it also can be that inputmag people misinterpreted a very vague response from Nothing, that would satisfy Hanlon's razor the most)

That would be the fourth message in short period of time, but an absolute rule for any competent writers: always put the whole statements in text. As much as no one can forbid your writing just because of your lack of insight, that doesn't mean you can't be more transparent to the reader. It really helps in accountability, when the slip isn't on your side, but on the quoted entity.
If you thought that physical pixel pitch of IMX989 is 1.6μm, you're wrong. As an 8PD sensor, its physical design is shared with Samsung's S5KGN series, meaning there's 100 million photosites at 0.8x1.6μm. Thanks for tuning in.

Wait, Xiaomi, you spent millions on engineering a sensor that was already in a Sharp in May?
Smartphones are a commodity, and that's how you can get away with a lot, as media outlets oriented at mainstream consumers aren't interested nor have the research abilities and incentives to spend effort on something that won't get them lots of recognition, and therefore money. This way, OEM claims are taken as is, without question, despite their notorious bending of reality, tricky use of words, if not outright lying.

Take for example top of the line laptops, top of the line keyboards, cameras, PC, historical PDAs, and then the opinions, prevalent forms of tests surrounding them. The atmosphere that you'll see will be way more professional, way more granular. Someone who does rather common tests there will look like a collosal professional in comparison to an average smartphone review around. And that's the entire thing: what's written is dictated by whoever reads.
