Tired of carrying a camera wherever you go? It’s time to invest in a phone with a good quality camera. After all, that is the one device that you always carry. If you haven’t upgraded your phone in a few years, you will be surprised to know how much phone camera performance has improved. To make things easier for you, we’ve got a list of the top camera phones you can check out.

So, what are the best brands for smartphone cameras right now? Here are the top three that you can check out:

1. iPhone 13 Pro Max and iPhone 13 Pro
The latest iPhone Pro models have come with a camera upgrade and have already been making waves. All with good reason though. The 12MP features a much larger sensor size for the wide and ultrawide cameras. Say hello to your ultrawide turned macro camera that can capture objects even two centimeters away.

Apple has done a lot of work to improve the low-light photographic abilities of the iPhone 13 Pro. The new 77 mm telephoto camera captures photos with much more depth, and the new Photographic Styles feature also enables that. The Cinematic Mode that can be found in all the iPhone 13 models allows the focus to remain only on the subject. The result? A 1080p video at 30 fps!

2. Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra
If you’re not a fan of Apple, this is the camera you ought to consider. Two telephoto lenses–something that’s practically unheard of–have earned it the title of best camera zoom on a smartphone. So, zoom in all you want.

The fantastic closeup capabilities of the S21 Ultra don’t take away from the long-range shots on this camera. The Simple Take feature that was introduced in 2020 is better now and can create beautiful slow-mo videos, in 8K. Use both the front and the rear cameras to shoot using the Director’s View. This is a good buy for those who love to shoot using Android.

3. OnePlus 9 Pro
A partnership with camera expert Hasselblad was a smart move by OnePlus. The effects of it show in the camera of its OnePlus 9 Pro. With superior post-processing, the changes in the colors of the photos are very noticeable. From the outside and the inside, this model can rough it out with the likes of the iPhone and the Pixel. Although the Pro comes with an 8MP telephoto lens, low-light photography is still a hit and a miss.

It has a 48 MP main camera, and the 8MP telephoto lens has a 3.3x optical zoom. The 50MP ultra-wide camera is quite good and has a freedom lens design, and there is a 2MP monochrome for those classic black and white pictures.

There’s 8K video recording capability on the OnePlus 9 Pro, and it does well to shoot in both auto and manual mode. All in all, this is a powerful smartphone with a good camera too.
