Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra

A The four-camera system on the most recent Galaxy flagship is excellent and includes wide, ultra-wide, telephoto, and super-zoom sensors. The first of these sports a 108MP sensor with an 85-degree field of view, an f/1.8 aperture, and Dual Pixel AF. The f/2.2 aperture and 120-degree field of vision are highlights of the 12MP ultra-wide camera. Additionally, there are two 10MP telephotos: one with an equivalent three-times zoom (f/2.4), and the other with a ten-times zoom (f/4.9). Not to mention the selfie camera, which has a 40MP resolution, an f/2.2 aperture, and the ability to record 8K video at 24 frames per second.

In general, this is a big, attractive, and potent smartphone. Its 6.8-inch AMOLED screen is out of this world, with 500 pixels per inch resolution, smooth action, vibrant colours, and stunning brightness.

With the amazing S Pen stylus, you can be as productive as you were previously only able to be with a Galaxy Note. The phone has a strong 5,000 mAh battery to keep it running for hours, and although the design and appearance are straightforward, we think they are extremely beautiful.

Google Pixel 6 Pro

The new Google flagship has a lot to live up to. The Pixel 4 fell short for us because to rehashed camera technology and overheating internals, while the Pixel 5 was fantastic but unquestionably wasn't a top-end smartphone. Google achieves its goal with the Pixel 6 Pro.

The main (26mm wide-angle) camera sports a 50MP 1/1.31 sensor with 1.2-micron pixels, omnidirectional phase-detection autofocus, laser autofocus, and OIS. Its triple rear-facing camera system has undergone a complete hardware overhaul. A 12MP 17mm ultrawide camera module is also available for a wider perspective.

The new periscope zoom camera on the Pixel 6 Pro, though, is undoubtedly its most remarkable feature. The telephoto module uses a 48MP sensor and a 104mm lens with an f/3.5 aperture to provide about a 4x zoom. The sensor itself is only 1/2 inch in size, but because to Google's software expertise combined with OIS, it's still a fantastic addition to the phone and significantly increases the value of the 6 Pro compared to the normal Pixel 6.

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra

The S21 Ultra served as the flagship model up to the release of the more recent Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, and it is still an incredibly complex smartphone with a lot to offer. A 108MP f/1.8 main camera, a 12MP f/2.2 ultra-wide camera, and two 10MP telephoto cameras—one with an f/2.4 aperture and a powerful 3x optical zoom and the other with an f/4.9 aperture and an enormous 10x optical zoom—are all included in this camera phone's four back cameras. A great 6.8-inch screen is also included. The Dynamic AMOLED 2X display has a 1500-nit peak brightness, HDR10+ support, a 120Hz refresh rate for fluid navigation and gaming, and a 1440 x 3200 resolution.

Google Pixel 5

The a might be the right phone for you if you're searching for a hassle-free, functional point-and-shoot photography phone. The Google Pixel 5 may not have the most cutting-edge technology, but it more than makes up for that with dependability and practicality. The Google Pixel 5's back dual camera system includes a 12.2MP 27mm f/1.7 sensor and a 16MP ultra wide f/2.2 camera, but the software is what really makes this camera stand out as exceptional. For a lag-free camera phone experience, the Snapdragon 765G CPU pairs nicely with the Android 11 OS. A 90Hz refresh rate display, water resistance, and wireless charging are just a few of the amazing flagship features that the Google Pixel 5 has to offer.

Sony Xperia 1 III

When it comes to smartphone videography, the Sony Xperia 1 III is the sole device available for video professionals and movie fans who want to go manual. It has full manual control, can capture video at up to 21:9 for a cinematic look, and has a gorgeous flat colour profile that makes it ideal for post-production in Premiere Pro or Da Vinci Resolve (opens in new tab). Fortunately, practically everything else about this phone is superb as well, including the eye-catching 21:9, 4K HDR screen, the simple UI, and the quick CPU that ensures plenty of power inside. Fans of Sony cameras will enjoy all the Alpha components that have been included into the Xperia camera UI.

Apple iPhone 13 Pro

Even though the iPhone 13 Pro's camera upgrades may not be as significant as those of the iPhone 12 Pro's, it still comes with some useful additions. A valuable new macro option has been added, and the ultra-wide camera's low light performance has been improved. While the Cinematic video mode is a fascinating feature and nice to have if you're an aspiring movie-maker, new picture styles are worth exploring with.

Regarding the iPhone 13 Pro's camera hardware, Apple chose a triple lens setup that includes a regular, ultra wide, and telephoto lens. The 26mm (equivalent) normal lens and the 13mm (0.5x) ultra-wide optic have the same focal lengths. However, the telephoto lens has been increased from the iPhone 12 Pro's 2x lens to a 3x (78mm) offering.

Overall, the iPhone 13 Pro is without a doubt the best iPhone for photographers (opens in new tab) to date and provides incredible image and video quality, but it's not for people who are particularly budget careful, especially if you already own a 12 Pro, which is very nearly as excellent.

iPhone 13 Pro Max

With the same cameras and technology as the iPhone 13 Pro but a larger screen, the iPhone 13 Pro Max is the largest and greatest of Apple's current generation of iPhones (6.7 inches versus 6.1 inches). Additionally, the Pro Max offers a significantly longer battery life of up to 28 hours of movie playback as opposed to the smaller '13 Pro's up to 22 hours. To have "the best of everything," it could be tempting to choose the Pro Max model over the standard Pro model. Why not go one step further and purchase the larger screen when the standard Pro is already expensive enough? Well, other people could only find it too huge to use comfortably on a daily basis.

HOW WE TEST CAMERA PHONES

As a photography website, we pay special attention to the photo and video quality of camera phones in the context of what rival cameras can do, and where there are any special features, such as ‘night modes’ or ‘portrait modes’, we check that these perform as the makers describe. Camera phones are all-round digital assistants too, of course, so we will also check general handling, usability and practicality – such as battery life.
