Top 3 Best Camera Phone in World
If we look toward the mobile industry there are vast categories of smartphones, that have their specialty in their field. In terms of cameras, many brands are showing high Mega Pixels cameras and claim to provide high-quality footage according to the camera's Megapixels, which is wrong. Here are the three best camera phones in the world that give an unexpected quality image and videos with different features.
iPhone 16 Pro Max
Packing killer video performance
The iPhone 16 Pro Max is an easy choice for the best smartphone camera overall, packing in an excellent main camera, capable telephoto lens, and improved video performance. Meanwhile, Photographic Styles can give your pictures a unique sense of character thanks to their film-like filters. If you want a smaller (and cheaper) phone, the camera's the same on the non-Pro Max variant: the iPhone 16 Pro.
Pros
- Video recording is outstanding, too, with 4K 120FPS video that can be slowed down post-capture.
- Photographic Styles let you add character to your photos.
- A new 48MP ultrawide sensor joins an already fantastic camera system.
- Camera Control button makes it faster to snap a pic.
Cons
- Not as many AI features as Google or Samsung A 1-inch sensor in Xiaomi or Oppo phones will provide more detail than the iPhone's main camera.
Apple impressed us with the camera performance of the iPhone 15 Pro Max, holding our top spot on this list for most of last year. With the iPhone 16 Pro series, though, it's even better. The best part of the iPhone 16 Pro series is that you'll get the same great rear camera system whether you like big or small phones. Both the $1,000 iPhone 16 Pro and the $1,200 iPhone 16 Pro Max have the same camera hardware and software features. In Nepal, the iPhone 16 Pro is available at Rs.1,95,000 and iPhone 16 Pro Max is available at Rs.2,32,500.
Photographic Styles are film-like presets that change the look of your photos. They're completely customizable and let you create photos of your own. With digital and film cameras trending, Photographic Styles are one of the excellent ways for users to get similar results directly from their smartphones. With the new A18 Pro system-on-a-chip, you can apply these photographic styles and make other changes, such as adding bokeh after you have captured the photo.
Although Vivo X100 Ultra might pip the iPhone 16 Pro in a couple of scenarios, you probably can't buy it. What matters is that the iPhone 16 Pro Max outpaces the Google Pixel 9 Pro and the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, and we think that it does.
Google Pixel 9 Pro XL
Always excellent in low-light performance
Improved Camera performance in Google's new Pixel 9 Pro XL has taken a huge leap in the new Pixel 9 Pro XL. Advanced computational photography software can do more with these existing major and telephoto lenses, while hardware upgrades have been carried out on the ultrawide and selfie cameras. The cameras are fitted out with enormous sensors and fast shutter speeds that are great for low-light shooting.
Pros
- New selfie and ultrawide cameras
- Excellent generative AI and photo editing features
- Improved video performance
Cons
- Sometimes overly aggressive colour correction from Google.
- The primary camera and telephoto are identical to the Pixel 8 Pro.
Because Samsung isn't innovating with the Galaxy S24 Ultra, this is essentially a contest between Apple and Google for the best smartphone camera system. Still, Apple leads in this regard, but Google isn't that far behind with the Pixel 9 Pro XL. Just like its biggest competitors, the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro, the Pixel 9 Pro and Pro XL are identical in terms of hardware cameras. You can simply choose your preferred size and then enjoy the same quality camera.
Google replaced two of the four cameras on the Pixel 9 Pro XL with new sensors. The ultrawide lens now boasts a wider f/1.7 aperture, which makes for speedier shooting, and the selfie camera is class-leading. That front camera leaps from 10.5MP to a 42MP f/2.2 shooter that's superior in quality, even in poor light. The 50MP f/1.7 main camera and f/2.8 5X periscope zoom lens are carried over from the Pixel 8 Pro but remain brilliant.
Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra
The hardware is getting old, but it's still a jack-of-all-trades camera.
Samsung didn't noticeably change the Galaxy S24 Ultra camera system. With that being said, it's still an incredibly versatile system packing four rear cameras. The main 200MP might be a bit gimmicky, but the new 5x telephoto lens is best-in-class. It's hard to pay well over a grand for aging camera hardware.
Pros
- 5x periscope lens superior to iPhone 16 Pro Max and Pixel 9 Pro
- 200MP camera, 12MP ultra-wide, 10MP 3X and 12MP selfie camera for versatility
- Night mode shots look more organic with less obvious artificial lighting effects
Cons
- The bump down from 10x periscope lens to 5x may be less exciting to some users
The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is arguably one of the most feature-rich phones in the world, and recommending it is something of a no-brainer - unless you explicitly want the latest and greatest in camera technology. This year, Samsung left the main sensor alone while upgrading the Galaxy S24 Ultra, and that allowed the iPhone 15 Pro Max and Pixel 8 Pro — now the iPhone 16 Pro Max and Pixel 9 Pro — to leapfrog it in some areas. Impossible, however, to leave the Galaxy S24 Ultra off this list. It packs a total of four rear cameras, so there will be a lens on the Galaxy S24 Ultra for just about every situation. This phone is all about versatility.
The big difference is that the 10x periscope zoom lens was swapped out for a new 5x periscope zoom lens. That does sound like a downgrade on paper, but that isn't quite entirely correct. For one, this new sensor is a 50MP lens and that's upgraded from the old 10MP. This means you'll get more detail and quality from the 5x periscope lens. The best part is that you can always use digital zoom to crop in at 10x, and thanks to the larger sensor, the digital 10x photos will still look solid. One area in which the Galaxy S24 Ultra outclasses both the iPhone 16 Pro Max and Pixel 9 Pro is with the periscope zoom lens.
The rest of the Galaxy S24 Ultra's rear camera hardware is much of the same. There's a main 200MP camera, 12MP ultra-wide, and 10MP 3X lens. For what it's worth, based on our testing, Samsung's image processing has been tweaked to produce more accurate colors. So, photos snapped with the Galaxy S24 Ultra might look better than those taken with the Galaxy S23 Ultra, even though both phones use the same main camera.
