There's a powerful 5,000 mAh battery to keep it going for hours, and the design and look of the phone is simple but, to our eyes, very stylish.

The S Pen stylus is brilliant, and gives you the kind of productivity you previously only got with a Galaxy Note. Its 6.8-inch AMOLED screen is to die for, with smooth motion, vivid colors, impressive brightness, and 500 pixels per inch resolution. More broadly, this is a large, stylish and powerful smartphone. And that's not to mention the selfie camera, with its 40MP resolution, f/2.2 aperture and 8K video capture at 24fps. There's also one 10MP telephoto with an equivalent three times zoom (f/2.4) and another 10MP telephoto with a 10 times zoom (f/4.9). The first of these boasts a 108MP sensor, with an f/1.8 aperture, Dual Pixel AF, and an 85-degree field of view. The 12MP ultra-wide camera features an f/2.2 aperture and a 120-degree field of view.

The latest Galaxy flagship's four-camera system is top-notch, featuring wide, ultra-wide, telephoto and super-zoom sensors. Even the best compact cameras (opens in new tab) can still take up the majority of your pocket (if they even fit in at all!), but the best fold phones (opens in new tab) such as the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip (opens in new tab) and the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 (opens in new tab) are incredibly compact. While the best camera phones might not yet be able to beat the best DSLRs (opens in new tab) or the best mirrorless cameras (opens in new tab) for sheer image quality, the one area that camera phones beat out traditional cameras in is their size. Not only will the best camera phones feature powerful imaging sensors (for example, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra (opens in new tab) has an incredible 108MP sensor – higher than most of the best professional cameras), but they'll also have incredible computational photography features that takes a matter of milliseconds to process the images you capture and improve aspects such as sharpness, white balance and more. But to help you find the best camera phone for you right now, we've rounded up a selection of the latest models with a range of budgets in mind.Ĭamera phone technology can really boil down to one simple concept – pure and simple convenience.
