I am coming across this site for the first time, is this a reputable one? What is the global ranking they use?

  Among the most reputed. They've been rating cameras and lenses forever, and also make software for post processing and corrections (https://www.dxo.com/ https://www.dxo.com/). I think they're now different companies, but the site is quite credible.

  Yes. It is the gold standard test for phone cameras. However, they do take payment for conducting tests on prerelease hardware, and there have also been controversies when they adjusted the test methodology to advantage certain new features - for example when they added a 'zoom' category just as apple added in a zoom lens, making that years iPhone win.

  They're old now, but I remember when they were used to show off the first Pixel photos. Not sure if that was astroturfed. Their scores are their own composite rankings. But does it matter anymore? Everyone just picks a side now and sticks with it. Objectivity doesn't really factor into it anymore, sadly...

  It is a fairly reputable one, but it had become so "reputable" at one point that there was some weird possible conflicts of interest with them working with camera manufacturers/phone manufacturers to improve their cameras which kind of brings into question the neutrality of those reviews. For a while on a yearly basis there'd be some new smart phone that would pass all the other ones and get a new all time high DXO mark. With that being said, they do pretty good coverage at least with regards to camera lenses and sensors, including the ones in phones. It's quite a thorough review and they provide a lot of sample images for you to peruse through to make your own judgements.
