Nowadays, our smartphones have become extensions of our own selves. They capture our fondest memories, keep our deepest conversations, and help us with our tasks. If it isn’t on your phone—on your camera roll, your notes, or your messages—then it probably never happened.
Since you’re basically carrying your phone with you wherever you go, it is practical to think how capable it would be to capture the breathtaking sights and life-changing occurrences you will undoubtedly experience. All thanks to innovation, smartphones with the best camera features are now out in the market, and here are some of them.
1. OnePlus 5T

Portrait mode is another feature of its camera.
OnePlus is a phone brand from China that’s currently raking in rave reviews, with some of them even saying that it is “the best Android you can buy at any price.” Equipped with a 16 + 20 megapixel camera that is optimized for low light and portrait photography, this smartphone also has an Electronic Image Stabilization video feature which keeps high-resolution videos clear and lucid even when shot with shaky and unstable movements. Its camera’s Quick Capture and AutoFocus features also make shooting subjects in motion possible.
The Samsung Galaxy S8 comes in six colors to choose from.
Samsung is probably the most popular Android smartphone brand not only in the country but in the entire world. Their Galaxy S8’s camera is promised to work as efficiently during the day as it does during night time. The front camera has a resolution of eight megapixels while the rear camera has a resolution of 12 megapixels. Its camera also has a Pro Mode feature which lets you adjust its shutter speed, exposure value, color tone, and manual focus.

3. LG V30
Price:Starts at PhP35,560
The LG v30 camera is also equipped with a quick video editor.
Another widely popular phone brand is LG. For its V30 model, its camera has similar features to a high-grade DSLR camera such as a wide focal length of 1.6 apertures resulting in impressive low-light shots. Its 10-bit high-dynamic-range-imaging sensor also delivers better detail and definition in your photos, while its control zoom speed feature gives the user more control when taking footages.
The Huawei Mate 10 Pro camera also has a bokeh effect feature.
Huwaei’s contender against other smartphones with impressive camera features is the Mate 10 Pro, the world’s first smartphone with Kirin AI (artificial intelligence) processor, a hyper-fast mobile chip that enables a “faster, stronger, and seamless smartphone experience.” Its New Leica Dual Camera boasts a focal length of 1.6 aperture with 20 megapixels monochrome sensor and 12 megapixels for the RGB (red, green, blue) sensor. Its intelligent photography algorithms also automatically adjust the shot’s color, contrast, brightness, and exposure, ensuring optimal quality for all your pictures.
