How we choose the best smartphone camera
Putting a smartphone’s camera through its paces is a significant part of the review process at Darkside and each model listed below is top class, for images and overall photography experience.
What makes a good phone camera? It isn’t just megapixel count the majority of the devices in this list don’t feature more than 12 megapixels.
More important are a wide aperture (around f/1.8 or lower), and image stabilisation, whether optical or electronic (OIS or EIS). Other aspects such as a secondary lens for portrait photos and an impressive selfie camera will be more or less important to you, depending on your requirements.
We test each camera in several real-world scenarios, for example, low light, portrait, landscape, light and dark conditions, and then we compare models. You’ll find a dedicated page for each phone’s camera in the reviews below.
