Best Camera Phones (2022)

 so here we are it's 2022 somehow and there i see it live seems to

be getting back on track here in plague island we can once again go out and see people we know in real life and drink obscene amounts of alcohol with them in pubs like we used to just in the past week alone i've probably taken more photos on my smartphone than i did in the hall of 2020 and if nothing else

i'll at least be able to then relive these memories when the next massive

disaster drives us all into underground bunkers forever and now that we're all going out and doing stuff in real life again you might be wondering what are the best smartphones for actually capturing beautiful photos and gorgeous home movies of your mates and loved ones well i've tested and reviewed dozens of the biggest mobiles around and here's my

pick of some of the very best that you can grab yourself right now in 2022 i've got full reviews and unboxing videos of

all of these smartphones right here on tech specs definitely check those out and for more on the list and great sec

please do poke subscribe and hitting that notifications bell cheers now

without a doubt the google pixel 6 and pixel 6 pro are two of my favorite

smartphone tuners right now with a majestic camera spread right across the ascent of these fantastic flagships for

the newest generation of pixel blowers google has completely overhauled the camera hardware cramming in a 50

megapixel sensor that's two and a half times bigger than the pixel fives so

google isn't relying quite as heavily on the software smarts when it comes to grabbing great looking picks in low

light and tricky conditions no matter your choice of standard or pro you can bet your nipples that you'll get natural

looking shots both day and night complete with accurate skin tones and

impressive results in hdr situations it's straight up a case of point and

shoot here no brain activity is needed at all now for the pixel 6 series google has added in some fresh new camera

features that you can have a bit of a play around with the likes of the actionv pan for instance which just adds a bit

of motion blur to your more dynamic scenes and unfortunately these new

features did mostly turn out to be a gimmicky sack of pants although i did

love the editing tool which wipes out any pesky background stragglers nowv while both the pixel 6 and the pixel 6 pro sport an ultra wide angle lens which

offers a pulled back view when needed only the pro offers up an optical zoom lens for getting closer to the action besides that you're getting basically the same great bit of camera tech either way home movie results aren't as strong as some rivals and if you are after a

dependable selfie cam then you will definitely want to look elsewhere as

those front fires are a bit of a let down but if you're all about everyday

stills well the pixel 6 and the pixel 6 pro are simply the best out there and

i've done a full in-depth camera review of them comparing the two right here on texpert now google also still offers up the pixel 4a and the pixel 5a for roughly half the cost of those flagships

and while it is all the camera tech packs in there these mid-range mobiles

are still more than capable in fact they're the best camera phones around at this price point once again pumping out

fantastic natural looking snaps in pretty much any scenario if you're on a

bit of a tight budget well stick around

 we'll be covering some of the pixel 4a and the pixel 5s biggest

affordable camera rivals at the end of this blog otherwise i guess you couldvjust use the chapter feature to skip

right to that bit if you've had enough of me banging on about expensive stuff now a hot rival for the pixel 6

smartphones comes courtesy of apple with its latest iphone 13 blowers and they're just as flamboyant camera design if you

want the beefiest hardware out there you'll need to spunk out a grand orca for the pro or the pro max models which

sport a triple 12 megapixel setup like the pixel 6 pro this can capture picks

with an ultra wide angle lens or a telephoto zoom when the standard view

isn't quite enough while colour

reproduction isn't as accurate as those pixels you do get a reasonably natural

result again with a simple point-and-shoot vibe the iphones are

almost as good in low-light and ambient light with a nippy lidar sensor for fast focus however the real benefit here is the blog hops as the iphone 13 pro and the pro max can both record some very slick looking footage at 4k resolution

especially impressing with some dependable image stabilization don't

have the cash to spunk out on these super priced apple blowers or maybe you simply don't fancy cramming something

roughly the same size and weight as an average house brick into your pants every day well no worries because the

iphone 13 mini is actually my favorite of the new phones because it's

pleasantly compact if still somewhat chunky and the camera tech is still

proper decent apple has scrapped the lidar scanner and the telephoto shooter and the primary 12 megapixel sensor is

slightly different here on the iphone 13 many but you'll still get some solid

everyday shots even in quite testing conditions your photos won't be too far off what you see with a naked eye

although subjects in motion do often come out blurry if the lighting isn't

just right and i personally found the iphone 13 mini was just as capable as

its much bigger much more expensive siblings when it comes to selfies as

well once again sporting a 12 megapixel front-facing shooter and if you want to know more than your full reviews of the

iphone 13 mini as well as the iphone 13 pro max right here on texpert now

samsung's fresh new s22 flagships all lurking on the horizon ready for launch but even one year on i still rate the

galaxy s21 series they are pretty damn good at camera phones and they come pack in a absolute wealth of bonus camera mods as well if you want to tinker around and get all kinds of jazzy results the standard galaxy s21 and the

s21 plus serve up a brilliant 12 megapixel sensor just like the iphones

which does a great job with living and more static subjects night and day

whatever you need again skin tones and other hues on quite 100 accurate

especially when you're shooting indoors but only the pixel really does a much better job in that regard there's also

an ultra version of the galaxy s21 which costs a shag load extra but also

upgrades that camera text you've got a 108 megapixel primary sensor which can capture even more detail and nice bright

shots even in really low light conditions you've also got the

ridiculously good and also somewhat just ridiculous 100 times space zoom if you really want to get close to something

that's very very far away indeed all three samsung handsets offer an

excellent range of camera features so for instance you've got the single take mode which shoots up to 20 seconds of

footage and then spaffs out all manner of stills and comedically random clips which always seems to work well for

living subjects video recording tops off at 8k res on all of the s21s if you have a deep desire to absolutely kill your

remain in storage otherwise the 4k res mode works a charm samsung always seems

to nail the video capture on its

flagships and the s21 is once again

dependable with the option to swap

between all three lenses to get the

perfect shot and also now fresh for 2022

we have the samsung galaxy s21 fan

edition which sports very similar optics

but it actually upgrades the telephoto

shoots so now you've got a three times

optical zoom in there and i've done you

a full unboxing of this bad boy my full

review as well should be coming
