Which smartphone has the best camera?

Smartphone cameras are now amazingly good, and if you buy a top-end smartphone, it’s increasingly hard to take a bad photograph with it.Some manufacturers have improved the
front-facing camera to target people who mainly take selfies.

Some phones are waterproof, like the Apple iPhone 7 and the Samsung Galaxy S7.have added 4K video facilities. Many offer HDR for high dynamic range images, and some use “stacking”, such as the Google Pixel (it captures a short sequence and combines the results into a single image).

Some have dual lenses and dual sensors and combine the results, like the LG G6. Some phones shoot 4K video or raw images, possibly by using accessory software to extract the image data
before it has been processed.Possible options The Nokia 808 PureView smartphone, launched in 2012, really boosted progress in smartphone photography. Its 38-megapixel sensor captured an amazing amount of detail, and changed the perception of how good a smartphone camera could be.

The 808 and its Windows smartphone
cousin, the Lumia 1020, are still competitive today, though they have been surpassed by more recent models.
Today’s better smartphone cameras typically have f/1.8 lenses and 12MP 1/3in sensors providing a resolution of 4032 x 3024 pixels.That’s the specification of Apple’s iPhone 7, so
try to match or beat that. The Google Pixel –which may have the best smartphone camera – has a slightly bigger 12.3MP 1/2.3in sensor and
an f/2.0 lens.you want something cheaper, the OnePlus 3T has a 16MP 1/2.8in sensor and an f/2.0 lens.

Samsung has also had a couple of goes at the genre with its Samsung Galaxy K Zoom and older S4 Zoom smartphones. Both have 10x optical zoom lenses, much like compact cameras. The most recent example is the 21MP Kodak Ektra ,
which was launched in Europe last year and in the US this week.However, if you’re serious about the photographic aspect, consider buying a good compact camera and a cheap phone. Not only do
you get better results over a wider range of subjects and situations, the camera h handling is dramatically better. This includes faster zooming, framing and shooting.
