It’s hard to believe that mobile phones were only used for calls and texts once upon a time. Today that feature seems to have taken a side step, and people are more interested in the plethora of other features advertised. One of the most important characteristics of smartphones today is its camera. So which camera has the highest pixels, clarity, and ability to take the best shot? This article will answer those questions for you, so read on to know about the best smartphone cameras of 2020.

Apple iPhone 11 Pro

Released in the month of September 2019, the iPhone 11 Pro’s camera is a triple-lens one with 12 megapixels in the rear and front. It offers a 26 mm f/1.8 lens with an additional telephoto lens that gives 52mm f/2.0 aperture. Its front camera has an f/2.2 “TrueDepth” feature that has brilliant image processing clarity. It’s a good phone for travel photography that produces sharp and clear ultrawide images. A dream phone of every amateur or professional photographer, Apple has clearly outdone itself at least in terms of camera quality this time.

Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus

This one’s camera pixel resolution is the same as Apple, 12 MP in the front and rear lens. With an f/1.8 aperture and 64MP telephoto, Samsung has raised its own bars. One thing that sets it apart is the 3x optical zoom, which is great if you’re taking long shots. What the lens does, is essentially pixel crops the image, meaning it is not technically zooming in. However, even a simple image clicked with shaky hands and poor lighting will give you a great shot. So if you like to take snapshots on the go, this one is definitely worth it.

Google Pixel 4 XL

It has two rear cameras, one is 12.2MP, which is equivalent to a 28mm wide-angle lens or f/1.7 aperture. The other one is 16MP with 45mm telephoto and f/2.4 aperture. The front camera has a resolution of 8MP and has a 22mm wide lens. It also boasts of a 90-degree field of view. When it comes to the best smartphone cameras, the Google Pixel captures very clear, sharp, and stunning images and shows you a real-time preview of what it will look like once it has been processed by the camera app. The camera app also lets you directly share the photo clicked with other applications, saving you a bit of back and forth.

Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G

This iconic phone was launched in March 2020 and comes with 108 MP and 12 MP primary and ultra-wide lens that is clearly one of the best smartphone cameras in the market at present. It features a 100x zoom, which according to most reviews, does not live up to the hype. However, that being said, the phone camera still has a lot going for it. It has one of the best dedicated night modes for those in love with the night sky and all its wonders. The phone camera also has a great focus and the automatic HDR processing lets you take vivid and sharp pictures, nevermind how glum the day really is.
