Although we would like to zero in on the best smartphone camera in the market, we cannot give you one name and call it a day. This is a complicated niche, and “the best camera” won’t necessarily be the best for everyone, as different brands and phones have a different approach to photography.

Here is a list of some of the bestsmartphone cameras available:

1. Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra
Even though the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra’s camera does not fare that well, this one sure does. It is equipped with a top-notch camera with a 12MP f/2.2 ultra-wide one and 108MP f/1.8 primary snapper. This means that the phone has two telephoto cameras, both of 10 MP. One of them comes with an f/4.9 aperture, and the other has an f/2.4 aperture. The former allows a good 10x optical zoom, while the latter enables 3x optical zoom, and the outcome is beyond excellent. Of course, you will love the non-zoomed shots too, but they might not be as good as the ones you see in S21 Ultra’s top-level rivals. However, with the addition of add-ons, such as the Director’s View, which allows shooting from both rear and front camera simultaneously, and the 40MP front-facing camera, this smartphone camera is every photographer’s delight.

2. iPhone 12 Pro
Ranked second on our list is this fantastic camera phone from Apple. It indeed has one of the bestsmartphone cameras and is equipped with an ultra-wide f/2.4 camera, telephoto f/2 camera, and wide f/1.6 camera. So, its triple camera unit indeed makes it a good photography phone. The front camera comes with a 12MP sensor and TrueDepth feature. In addition, there is an array of nice features, such as the LiDAR scanner, which implies faster focusing even in a low-light environment.

3. Google Pixel 5A
If you need a spectacular camera experience for less than $500, this should be your pick. It is equipped with a 16MP ultra-wide camera. Further, from its predecessor, the camera phone has undergone a severe hardware upgrade. Consequently, it can process the photos better and faster. Moreover, its Snapdragon 765G works well and proves powerful even when you are undertaking serious photography. Further, it has a bigger battery life than 4a.

4. Huawei Mate 40 Pro
Huawei Mate 40 Pro is another phone equipped with one of the best smartphone cameras. Its ultra-wide and regular angle shots look well both in well-lit and low-light conditions. More so, the 5X optical zoom functions well, even in poor lighting. It has a snappy and fast focusing, and the front selfie camera is ideal, even for larger groups, thanks to the wide-angle lens. In addition, its impressive HDR and super-stabilized video make this camera capable of handling everything that you throw at it. Overall, users who appreciate good photography over everything else will find this an excellent pick.
