Those are the best camera phone, or the best smartphones for photography you can buy now. But before you go, there are many factors to consider if camera quality factors heavily into your smartphone purchasing decision.
A good way to start is by asking yourself what kinds of photos you see yourself taking. Not all multi-lens cameras are created equal — some have ultrawide lenses for stunning landscapes, others have telephotos for zoomed-in shallow-depth-of-field portraits, and others still have both.
Finally, don’t forget about video. Your cameras shoot more than just still images. Consider what resolution the camera captures video at along with the frame rate.
