Considering phones usually have a shelf life of 2 to 3 years I can never understand why so much emphasis is put on the quality of the camera. The majority of money spent on a high end phone is due to the engineering the manufacturer has given to the camera section. I always question, if you're a photographer and invest in a high end camera, or even a mid range camera, would you ditch in in a couple of years and buy a new one? Of course you wouldn't so why do it with a phone camera? I want a phone first with a camera attached not the other way round, especially when the majority of people use them to take photos or videos to stick on social media where the quality is irrelevant.
The top two camera phones available today are the Huawei Pura 70 ultra and Vivo X100. It's ridiculous to publish an article purporting to evaluate which are the top camera phones without considering the two best ones.
We tested four of the best mid-range smartphones for their camera performance: the Samsung Galaxy A55, Google Pixel 8a, Xiaomi 13T, and Sony Xperia 10 VI. A clear winner emerged. Read the full report to discover which phone delivers the best photos.
