Choosing the perfect camera phone just got a whole lot easier. Many smartphone cameras today boast of impressive features and are no longer simply point and shoot. Smartphones have features like 48-megapixel sensors, zoom capabilities, ToF or time of flight cameras with depth perception, and even multi-camera apparatus.
The camera today is not only for regular people; even professional photographers are increasingly capitalizing on their smartphone in their pocket. With the advent of computational photography, newcomers like Huawei and Oppo, dynamic range, low light shooting, and optical zoom capabilities are now an everyday phenomenon that’s available in the palm of your hand. Here are some of the best smartphone cameras in the market today:
1. Honor 20 Pro
The Honor 20 Pro has been chosen over the P30 Pro because it’s a lesser known alternative with a more attractive price and has many similar features of the more established P30 Pro. The phone has astonishing four rear-facing cameras, including a primary camera that stands at 48 MP and an aperture of f/1.4, which is one of the best of any camera to date. This allows for superior quality images in near-pitch black conditions. The phone also features a telephoto camera of 8 MP with 3x optical zoom. The 16 MP ultrawide camera, which is equivalent to focal length of 13 mm, is another impressive feature on this phone. Finally, we have the macro camera with a max distance of focus of 4 cm. The macro camera is 2 MP. The phone is a bargain compared to the higher end iPhones and Samsung’s flagship Galaxy range of phones.
2. OnePlus 7 Pro
One of the major selling points was the pop-up selfie camera and the all-screen fascia of this phone. The OnePlus 7 Pro has several other features that make it hold its own in a very competitive market. The primary camera packs a wallop with a 48 MP sensor and is a wide-angle camera with an f/1.6 lens. This is used to get as much detail into every picture as possible. The phone is also very versatile and caters to all kinds of needs with a telephoto camera with 3x zoom and an ultrawide camera that is 13 mm. Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) is available across the cameras. While the night mode may not be able to compete with the industry-best like the Pixel 3, it is still preferred because of its attractive price and great value for money across the board.
3. Oppo Reno 10X Zoom
When it comes to the best smartphone camera at a relatively better price compared to Apple and Samsung, Oppo has to be mentioned. The main feature is the periscope camera, which boasts of a 5x optical zoom. The phone also has an impressive 48 MP wide-angle camera and even an ultrawide snapper, so it delivers versatility. The immersive screen and breath-taking AMOLED display along with enviable internal specs make this an obvious contender for the best smartphone camera.
