The phones with the best camera 【2020】? top list?

What are the best phones with the best camera ? The camera is becoming increasingly important in today's smartphones. Therefore, we see how companies work on many improvements to make this aspect better than that of many of its rivals. In this sense, there are some phones that stand out above the rest. We are going to talk about these smartphones below, so that you know more about them.

If we were asking Apple anything, it was greater versatility in the cameras of its terminals, since the competition was doing very well in this regard with panels of up to 4 and 5 sensors. Finally, it has met expectations in its new iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max with its peculiar 3-sensor “glass ceramic”. Above all, we emphasize that it is the best that a content creator can buy if he likes to record live and on the street.

These two terminals have the same configuration: 12 MP main sensor with f / 1.8, 12 MP telephoto lens with f / 2.0 and x2 zoom, and a 12 MP wide angle with f / 2.4 and 120 ° viewing angle.. All of them have optical stabilization, and today we can say that it is the terminal that records the best videos, further opening the gap with the competition. Its stabilization is exceptional even at 4K @ 60 FPS, being able to record simultaneously with the three sensors and recording an enviable sound quality.

The photographic equipment has also risen a lot in level, especially in versatility as we say. They are sensors very faithful to what our eyes see, without exaggerated HDR, with just the processing and a new outstanding night mode. Portrait mode is also one of the best in the high-end. As for the front camera, we have another 12 MP f / 2.2 sensor along with a 3D depth ToF, ranking alongside the best and improving a lot compared to the previous generation, which was perhaps one of its weak points. Among the three phones with the best camera? To take good photos you have to be configuring for a while.

Google Pixel 4 and 4 XL

The Google Pixel is another terminal that from the first generation dominates the segment of high-end (and now mid-range) terminals with the best camera on the market more firmly. He already surprised taking wonderful photos with a single sensor, but he lacked versatility, now we also have it.

In this 4XL we have a dual camera setup consisting of a 12 MP f / 1.7 Sony IMX363 main sensor with optical stabilization and a 16 MP f / 2.4 77 telephoto ^or x2 zoom with optical stabilization. The front camera is a Sony IMX481 8 MP and f / 2.0. This is accompanied by the ability to record in 4K @ 30 FPS, the flagship Google CAM application and the Google Neural Core processor that, among other things, is responsible for image processing.

Few better are seen in the daytime image quality, in short, it was already the best camera in the previous generation and continues to be. The sensor update does record more information, better HDR, and portrait mode that continues to dominate. But the biggest improvement may come in night mode, as the white balance is exceptional and the image's naturalness is fantastic. The benefits in selfi also fall within the top of the high range, although it is true that the competition has risen a lot in level. We only have a disadvantage in all this, the absence of the wide angle.

For us it is in the TOP 1 of mobile phones with the best camera

Google Pixel 3rd and 3rd XL

One of the reasons that can move a user to buy either of these two terminals is the incredible camera it has. Basically it is the same as in the older brothers 3 and 3XL, but at a much lower price and typical of a Premium mid-range, so we will have TOP quality.

We only have a single sensor, which is a Sony IMX363 (same as Pixel 4 / 4XL and 3 / 3XL) of 12 MP with f / 1.8 along with a dual LED flash and a GCAM just as well tuned as in the models of higher price. The work done by this Pixel is exquisite, and practically extensible in what we have said with the 4XL. Color fidelity, white balance, dynamic range in difficult situations with direct light, and above all a night mode that revolutionized the market and is one of the best.

In the front we have an 8 MP f / 2.0 sensor, which offers a good field of view of 84 ^or but it is not the same sensor as the 3XL, being a little lower in performance and detail in the photography. However, it still has a spectacular and high-end-worthy result and without the need for the AI ​​function. Again we can only miss more versatility, since we do not have a wide angle and depth or zoom sensors.

The cheapest option for the best mobile camera. It is identical to that of the Pixel 3 and 3XL, but with more modest hardware. So its price.

Huawei P30 Pro

Huawei has also been dominating photo and video performance year after year with its high-end terminals, and perhaps it is among the top 3 manufacturers. Not for nothing was he one of the first to implement multi-sensor cameras.

In the back we have a main Sony IMX650 sensor of 40 MP f / 1.6 capable of recording in 4K, but only at 30 FPS, wide angle of 20 MP f / 2.2 and with a field of view of 120 ^o, telephoto lens of 8 MP f /3.4 which gives us an optical zoom x5, hybrid x10 and digital x50, and 2 MP ToF 3D sensor for portrait mode mainly. Ahead we have a 32 MP f / 2.0 sensor along with another 3D ToF for depth .

Along with the Mate 30 Pro it is one of the best camera terminals on the market, doing a great job with and without AI, with very natural photos and excellent dynamic range. Especially with that great optical zoom that we have, one of the most powerful without counting that of the Oppo Reno 10X. The portrait mode and night mode also boast an excellent exposure and contrast treatment, giving us natural photos and eliminating those flashes that leave streetlights and direct lights. The selfie also has a very good level of detail in normal and portrait mode. And perhaps the weak point of the terminal is the video.

Huawei Mate 30 Pro

The difference with Huawei P30 Pro is not in this case too great, and in many aspects the benefits are almost similar, but having been one of the last top of the range launched by the manufacturer gives it its presence in this top of phones with the best camera, and it is also a terminal with a beautiful design, and top-of-the-line hardware, although without Google services.

In this case we have the best on the market, with a configuration of 4 cameras in the back and one in the front. Back we have a 40MP f / 1.6 Sony IMX600 main sensor, an impressive 40MP f / 1.8 Sony IMX60 wide angle, 8MP f / 2.4 telephoto lens with x3 optical zoom and a 2MP ToF 3D depth sensor. The front sensor is a 32MP f / 2.0 Sony IMX616 but no depth ToF sensor.

We have one of the highest scores in performance, and that is that this terminal does real crazy, offering what is without a doubt the most versatile camera currently. The result of the main sensor is not different from that of the P30 Pro, and this is very good, but we see an incredible improvement in the wide angle, being the best on the market in detail and brightness. The x3 zoom is transformed into an x5 hybrid and an x30 digital that will delight the most demanding. We also see a very good night mode and portraits, and the selfie is kept at an excellent level.

Perhaps where this Mate 30 has improved the most compared to the P30 is in the video section, since it now records in 4K @ 60 FPS with all its sensors stabilized. It does not reach the level of the iPhone, but it is surely the one that stays closest. And as a demonstration of power we have a 720p slow-motion recording of 7680 fps, a real spare to have fun with our friends.

TOP camera and it was clear that it would be among the phones with the best camera. Its problems with Android services is its major drawback.

OnePlus 7T and 7T Pro

The guys from OnePlus also took the batteries with the 6T and continue to do so with the 7T Pro, although it is a phone that above all bets on the power of its hardware and pure benefits. Here we can perfectly fit the two top range terminals, since ultimately their camera configuration is the same with certain details that we will now see.

Back we have a triple sensor consisting of a Sony IMX586 sensor of 48 MP and f / 1.6, a telephoto lens of 8 MP f / 2.4 and zoom x3 and a wide angle of 16 MP f / 2.2 with field of view of 120 ^o. To this we add a 16MP Sony IMX471 front sensor with f / 2.0. In both cases we will be able to record 4K @ 60 FPS and slow motion at 960 FPS like many of the competition that share the main sensor.

The general result is very good in favorable light conditions, with a great HDR and performance in night mode very well controlled to give us a natural image and they are too much exposure or tendency to yellow. The manufacturer has implemented a couple of curiosities, such as the super macro mode to take photos about 2 cm away, and a super stable video function to improve freehand recordings. Where we do have room for improvement is in the self, which does not have too much sharpness.

In fact, the only technical difference is that the 7T's zoom is x2 instead of x3. And in implementation because we have a vertical row camera configuration in the central part where the laser focus has been taken out of the camera panel. The last deference comes in the front camera, which in the 7T Pro has a retractable system instead of a notch.

Samsung Galaxy S10 and S10 +

Samsung has completely renewed its new high-end, with the Galaxy S10 and S10 +. In addition to a renewed design on these phones, where we find more changes is in photography. New cameras and many improvements in this regard. So the firm seeks to make great strides in this regard. The two models share rear cameras.

A triple combination is used in both. We have a 16 MP sensor with a 123 degree ultra wide-angle lens with f / 2.2 aperture. Next to it we find a 12 Pixel Dual Pixel sensor with a wide angle lens and a dual f / 1.5-2.4 aperture, in addition to optical image stabilization. Then we have the third 12 MP, which is a telephoto telephoto lens with f / 2.4 aperture. Powered at all times with artificial intelligence and software improvements, for better photo taking in all kinds of situations.

On the front we have differences. The Galaxy S10 bets on a single 10 MP Dual Pixel lens with f / 1.9 aperture. In contrast, the Galaxy S10 + uses in addition to that, an 8 MP secondary with f / 2.2 aperture, which is intended to give depth.

Xiaomi Mi A3

And we can not finish without citing another terminal that is located in the mid or medium / entry range according to the evolution of features and hardware. The Mi A2 left the photography ready very high in the previous generation, and the Chinese have secured the position to convert the A3 into the terminal with the best camera below 250 euros. Arguably, it gives the benefits of a phone of 500 euros, both in versatility and quality, having a better tuned software even than the high-end of the manufacturer itself.

At the back we have the well-known 48 MP f / 1.79 Sony IMX582 sensor, which is mounted by many other terminals, an 8 MP f / 2.2 wide angle and a 2 MP depth sensor for portrait mode and giving us a x2 zoom almost at the telephoto level. The technical section is completed with a Samsung S5KGD1 32 MP f / 2.0 front sensor. Recording is limited to 4K @ 30 FPS as normal.

We have recently tested this phone and we can verify that the performance is very slightly superior to the Mi 9T for example or the Mi 9 Lite. Also, the software seems to be more in tune than even the mi Note 10 with its 108 MP sensor. In addition to the great versatility in which we do not even miss the telephoto lens, we have a very natural photography in daytime conditions and a configurable portrait mode in its bokeh effect and very well defined. The night mode has also been improved quite naturally, while the selfie is very similar to other terminals with the same 32 MP sensor. If you are looking for a cheap phone mainly for photography, this is surely the best purchase.

Cheap but high quality option. Purchase highly recommended and is in the TOP of the phones with the best camera.

These are the most outstanding mobile phones with the best camera in this field. There is a great variety and each phone can stand out in some more specific aspects. But in all of them we find some of the best cameras on the market today.
