Cameras have become a marquee feature for smartphones, and the quality is getting closer with good unique digital cameras.
Fox News compiles a round of smartphones with the best cameras.
IPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max
The 5G (on all iPhone 12 models) is not only Apple’s first phone, but the 6.1-inch Pro and 6.7-inch Pro Max come with three camera systems on the back: an ultra-white camera, a widescreen camera and a telephoto lens.

The wider camera on the iPhone 12 Pro Max has a 47% larger sensor than the iPhone 12 Pro, resulting in improvements in low light conditions. The iPhone Pro Max has a total optical zoom range of 5x compared to the Pro 4x.
Both iPhones have a LIDAR sensor for better low light photography. Other upside is the enhanced Smart HDR, which automatically adjusts the output to create better image, and Apple’s new Prora photo file.
Both phones have been rated “Best Smartphone Camera” by several major research sites, including Consumer Reports.
Samsung Galaxy S20
The high-end S20 Ultra has one spec: it’s a 108MP camera, which can deliver amazing details. It has 100x zoom, which is a combination of optical and digital zoom.
But that spec is not as enjoyable as it used to be because with digital zoom you will lose a lot of image quality at extreme distances. 100x zoom aside, the “native” optical zoom is 4x on the telephoto lens. All S20 phones capture video in the future 8K resolution of video.
For most, the cheaper Galaxy S20 may be enough. “We found all the cameras to work amazingly well, and if you shoot in automatic mode, you are sure to be impressed with the results,” Decrador said of the low-cost S20.
Google Pixel5
This is the best bang for the buck camera. It’s a cheap phone for the 99 699 compared to the iPhone 12 Pro Max and the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra, but its camera is adequate for most consumers. It has a dual 12.2MP rear camera and a 16MP ultra wide camera.
According to Digital Camera World, “But this is the software that makes this camera so great.
Hawaii Made P40 Pro
DXOmark, widely quoted in China-based Huawei’s P40 Pro smartphone camera, presses through the iPhone 12 Pro Max. One of the unique features of the P40 Pro is the 10X optical zoom lens, which surpasses the 4x optical zoom of the Samsung S20 Ultra. “The P40 Pro achieves a great DxOMark camera score … because it’s one of the best or the best devices we’ve tested in almost all genres,” DxOMark’s review said.
However, there is a sticky issue with the Huawei phone, which keeps it from the top of many lists. Google, a Chinese technology company, has been banned from sending applications and services by the US government, citing US allegations that it uses its devices to spy.
