With the replacement of compact digital cameras from the market by smartphones, the latter have become more and more like cameras, not only functionally, but also externally.\u00a0Some of them have got massive blocks with lenses, because of which it is becoming increasingly difficult to use them as a phone.\u00a0The quality of the pictures of the best smartphones has become such that in good light conditions it can compete with the work of a good camera.\u00a0We have collected in our selection the best camera phones of 2023.<\/p>\n

\"7.<\/p>\n

7. OnePlus 11 5G<\/h3>\n

Specs:<\/strong> Display \u2013 6.7\u201d |\u00a0Rear \/ front cameras – 50\/16 MP |\u00a0Battery – 5,000 mAh |\u00a0Storage – 128-256 GB<\/p>\n

Pros: <\/strong>Top processor from Qualcomm, optics from Hasselblad<\/p>\n

Cons<\/strong>: No wireless charging, rather weak zoom<\/p>\n

Verdict: <\/strong>One of the best camera phones from China<\/p>\n

Using a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor and a 50MP, 32MP, and 48MP rear camera array developed in collaboration with Hasselblad, we have created a great smartphone for photography lovers.\u00a0A wonderful screen and a capacious battery complete the picture, the only thing that spoils the case is the easily soiled case and the zoom range inferior to the flagships of the market.\u00a0Otherwise, this is an amazing camera phone.<\/p>\n

\"6Google<\/p>\n

6. Google Pixel 7 Pro<\/h3>\n

Specs:<\/strong> Display \u2013 6.7\u201d |\u00a0Rear \/ front cameras – 50 \/ 10.8 MP |\u00a0Battery – 5,000 mAh |\u00a0Storage – 128-512 GB<\/p>\n

Pros: <\/strong>Excellent camera with powerful processing, excellent performance<\/p>\n

Cons<\/strong>: Controversial camera module design<\/p>\n

Verdict<\/strong>: The best camera phone in terms of price and quality<\/p>\n

The powerful Google Tensor G2 processor and a triple-lens module allow the top-end “Google” smartphone, which shoots not only in JPEG, but also in RAW, to produce stunning pictures in both manual and automatic modes.\u00a0Photos look great not only on the native 6.7-inch AMOLED display, but also on a properly calibrated monitor.\u00a0IP68 rating allows you to take photos in all weather conditions.<\/p>\n

\"5.<\/p>\n

5. OPPO Find X6 Pro<\/h3>\n

Specs:<\/strong> Display \u2013 6.82\u201d |\u00a0Rear \/ front cameras – 50\/32 MP |\u00a0Battery – 5,000 mAh |\u00a0Storage – 256-512 GB<\/p>\n

Pros<\/strong>:\u00a0Hasselblad camera module, powerful processor, IP68 protection<\/p>\n

Cons<\/strong>: Not always perfect stabilization<\/p>\n

Verdict:<\/strong> One of the leaders in the camera phone market<\/p>\n

After the takeover of the startup OnePlus, OPPO began to produce excellent camera phones under two brands.\u00a0The latest flagship Find X6 Pro features a huge camera module from Hasselblad with Sony sensors that scores 153 on DxOMark and captures quality images in all lighting conditions.\u00a0The zoom is very good, as is the color reproduction.<\/p>\n

\"4.<\/p>\n

Specs:<\/strong> Display – 6.73″ |\u00a0Rear \/ front cameras – 50\/32 MP |\u00a0Battery – 5,000 mAh |\u00a0Storage – 256-512 GB<\/p>\n

Pros:<\/strong> Quad camera module with 50 MP sensors, Leica filters and shooting modes, powerful optical stabilization<\/p>\n

Cons<\/strong>:\u00a0Poor selfie camera<\/p>\n

Verdict:<\/strong> A\u00a0real camera with a phone function<\/p>\n

In Xiaomi, when creating a new flagship, they decided not to be hypocritical and made it as similar as possible to a camera.\u00a0There is a recognizable shutter sound, and a separate button for shooting, and an artificial leather trim on the back panel.\u00a0The shots look very similar to those taken with a decent mirrorless camera.\u00a0In general, the ideal device for those who buy a smartphone for photography.<\/p>\n

\"3.<\/p>\n

3. Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max<\/h3>\n

Specs:<\/strong> Display \u2013 6.7\u201d |\u00a0Cameras – 48\/12 MP |\u00a0Battery \u2013 4,323 mAh |\u00a0Storage – 128-1000 GB<\/p>\n

Pros: <\/strong>Stunning RAW detail, gorgeous screen<\/p>\n

Cons: <\/strong>Zoom is a bit limited, no manual mode<\/p>\n

Verdict<\/strong>: The best camera phone for Apple fans<\/p>\n

The new flagship of the company will appear very soon, but at the moment the iPhone 14 Pro Max is the best offer from the engineers from Cupertino.\u00a0As usual, the main advantage is the natural color reproduction of images when displayed not only on a professional monitor, but also on the screen of the smartphone itself.<\/p>\n

\"2.<\/p>\n

2. Huawei P60 Pro<\/h3>\n

Specs:<\/strong> Display – 6.67″ |\u00a0Rear \/ front cameras – 48\/13 MP |\u00a0Battery \u2013 4,815 mAh |\u00a0Storage – 256-512 GB<\/p>\n

Verdict: <\/strong>Huawei’s new flagship camera phone<\/p>\n

The triple photo module includes a 48 MP light-sensitive camera with a variable aperture from f1.4 to f4.0, a 13 MP wide-angle camera with an f2.2 aperture, and a 48 MP camera with an f2.1 aperture, an optical stabilization system and a zoom.\u00a0All of these cameras are controlled by the proprietary XMAGE system, which uses artificial intelligence algorithms, and a huge number of settings allow you to take photos in a variety of conditions and modes.\u00a0Camera performance received top marks in the DxOMark system – 159 points.<\/p>\n

\"1.<\/p>\n

1. Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra<\/h3>\n

Specs:<\/strong> Display \u2013 6.8\u201d | Rear \/ front cameras – 200\/12 MP | Battery – 5,000 mAh | Storage – 256-1000 GB<\/p>\n

Cons: <\/strong>Very expensive<\/p>\n

Verdict: <\/strong>You will have to pay extra for the right to have the very best camera phone<\/p>\n

The top model Galaxy S23 is good in every way, but the undeniable advantage over the competition is an incredible 200 MP sensor and the ability to maintain excellent image resolution even at a large zoom.\u00a0The design is also almost flawless – the many lenses on the back of the smartphone do not look bulky.\u00a0The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor processes images instantly, and the traditionally powerful camera software has become even better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
