Apple's smart AI optimization is also out in force here, with the company's Deep Fusion used to tweak your pictures to make them as wonderful as possible. Low light performance particularly impressed us in our tests, and that's something that iPhones are known for, but whatever type of shot you’re aiming for, the iPhone 13 Pro or Pro Max should be able to do it justice. And, while they lack a dedicated macro lens, they’re still competent at taking close-up photos. While they don’t have the lens numbers or optical zoom length of some phones on this list, their performance is sublime. The iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max are stunning camera phones, each packing a 12MP f/1.5 main sensor with big 1.9µm pixels, a 12MP f/1.8 ultra-wide, and a 12MP f/2.8 telephoto, with 3x optical zoom. Both have the same cameras, and their key difference is the phone screen size, so we've bundled them into one. Our favorite older camera on a phone remains the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max.

If you like to edit your snaps, you might also appreciate the S Pen stylus, which we found to be more precise than a finger so could be really useful in image editing apps. However, 30x and 100x Space Zoom images are truly special compared to before, and you won't find the iPhone above to get even close to 100x. You'll notice this particularly when zooming in.ģx and 10x optical zoom looks solid and offers clear images of distant objects that enable you to crop in on details with little pixelation. Samsung has improved on optical image stabilization, digital image stabilization, and image processing. It's not just the lenses that help here though, with the software helping out massively.

With these four rear cameras, not to mention the super-high-res front one, the Galaxy S22 Ultra is the best handset on this list for versatility - you can jump between a wide field of view or a super-zoomed in one easily. There’s also a 12MP ultrawide with a 120-degree FOV, and then there’s the 108MP main wide camera (f/1.8) with an 85-degree FOV.

These include two 10MP telephoto lenses: one is f/2.4 with a 36-degree field of view (FOV) and the other is f/4.9 with an 11-degree FOV. The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra builds on the success of the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra.
