6 Smartphones with the Best Cameras

Taking a photo has never been so easy. We have the ability to take high quality images from the devices in our pockets – our smartphone.

Compact and DSLR cameras are becoming a thing of the past. With technology rapidly improving, the smartphone world has upped its game in the camera department.

People assume that the more megapixels a camera has, the better the image quality.

But while megapixels do aid in the quality of your photos, it’s mainly to do with the hardware, quality of the lens, its ability to focus, and the use of flash.

DESIblitz has a look at the top contenders of quality smartphone cameras.

iPhone 6

Apple prides themselves on their camera phones that produce high quality images.

The iPhone 6 is one of the big contenders of the best smartphone camera. It rocks an 8-megapixel camera.

The Focus Pixels allows a quick autofocus and adds clarity to your shots. For those photographer enthusiasts, you can also manually control the exposure.

Samsung Galaxy S7

Samsung have stepped up their game in the camera department.

The new Samsung Galaxy S7 has been said to be a top contender for the best camera smartphone around.

The 12-megapixel camera has a widened lens (f/1.7), which means that it is great in low light.

LG G4

The LG G4 sports a 16-megapixel camera with an aperture of f/1.8.

Moto X Pure Edition

The Moto X Pure Edition is similar to the Nexus 6P with the extensive camera features.

The major difference is the megapixels between the two. The Moto X Pure Edition has a 21-megapixel camera.

The face detection is a feature that lets you track an object and keep it in focus. This is useful for group photos.

Sony Xperia Z5

Sony Xperia Z5 prides itself of the mega-quick autofocus.
