The quad-LED dual-tone flash is here to stay, as well as the large piece of scratch-resistant sapphire glass that is supposed to keep everything away from harm's way. The wide-angle sensor sits behind the same f/1.8 lens, the telephoto behind a f/2.4 lens, both with optical image stabilization, just like on the iPhone X. The Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL come with a solitary 12.2MP sensor that manages to capture arguably the best looking images in the market in most lighting conditions.The Apple iPhone XS keeps a similar dual-12MP (wide+telephoto) camera setup as the iPhone 7, 8 Plus, and X. While Google has persisted with a single lens at the back, the selfie enthusiasts get an additional lens up front. The 8 MP + 8 MP dual camera setup manages to capture the best selfies among all its peers courtesy of Google’s synthetic lighting techniques that expose the face accurately in all lighting conditions. This is true for regular selfies as well as portrait mode selfied. If that wasn’t enough, the wide angle mode now reduces the need for a selfie stick.Īll said and done, the Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL offer ample options for all kinds of photography enthusiasts and is a worthy successor to the Pixel 2 lineup that topped the photography charts in 2017.Ĭheck out our Flickr album of the Google Pixel 3XL for high-resolution images The Apple iPhone XS Max was quietly referred to as the best iPhone ever, rather than the best phone ever or currently around and for the right reasons. The new Apple flagship may have made headlines for its obnoxious pricing more than anything, but it still has a cutting-edge camera module to make it to our list of best camera phones of 2018. On the surface, it may seem like Apple has persisted with the same 12 MP + 12 MP dual camera set up at the rear but there are some subtle enhancements that take the eventual output a few notches higher than its predecessor. The primary 28 mm wide angle lens has been replaced by a 26 mm counterpart, but the secondary telephoto lens is similar to the iPhone X and facilitates 2X optical zoom.įor starters, it has a new and larger 1/2.55-inch sensor with a 1.4-micron pixel size that captures more light and improves low light photography. Both lenses have optical image stabilisation. IPhone XS and XS Max also happen to be the first from the company to use computational photography and AI in image processing. The new iPhones do a brilliant job in well-lit conditions with accurate colours, high detail and excellent dynamic range. In not-so-perfect conditions, the Smart HDR function kicks in and takes a series of shots with various exposures and then merges them together algorithmically to give you the best image. Borrowing from Android phones of the past couple of years, the portrait mode gives you an option to adjust the background blur to make your portrait shots that much better. The major improvement in the iPhone XS and XS Max over the last-gen iPhones is in low-light photography. Though not the absolute best, it comes close and reduces the gap in performance between the current generation Apple and Google phones as compared to that between their respective predecessors. ![]() When we talk of phone cameras, it’s almost impossible to keep Samsung flagships out of the race, and it is no different this year. While the company recently debuted it’s a quad-camera phone, the ones that actually made it to our list of best phones of the year have just two lenses at the back.
