Which phone has the best camera?
Looking for picture perfect photos and cutting-edge software, all in one stylish package? Look no further than epic Samsung Galaxy smartphones. With unique design features, unrivaled display technology, and state-of-the-art hardware there’s a lot to love. With Samsung's phone cameras rivaling even the best traditional cameras we share what makes two of Samsung’s camera phones truly stand out from the crowd.
What is MP in cameras?
With so many acronyms and numbers involved, we are here to break down the jargon and help you find the best camera phone for you. For camera classification, MP is widely used to determine the image resolution your camera can produce. MP stands for megapixels which basically means one million pixels. A 12 MP camera, for example, can produce images with 12 million pixels per inch (PPI) - the higher the number, the clearer your photos will be no matter how much you zoom in or crop the pictures.
A minimum of 6 MP is recommended for daily camera usage. But if you want higher quality photos for printing, uploading onto websites, or clear night photos, opting for higher megapixels is always a good idea.
Which phone has the best camera quality?
Deciding on the best camera phone can be complicated. What camera quality is best? Is it good for selfies? And what about video recordings?
