Smartphone cameras are getting too good. With the creator economy only growing by the day and smartphones becoming better with a greater pace, the camera development in smartphones has also reached new heights. From 1-inch type sensors, to collaborations with legacy camera brands like Leica and Zeiss, smartphone photography is reaching new heights. The kind of results one would have expected from DSLR’s and mirrorless cameras a few years back have very much been achieved in smartphones.

With that thought, let us quickly go through some of the best camera phones that are available from brands like Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi, Vivo, and more:
Vivo X100 Pro
The Vivo X100 Pro is one of the best cameras that we have tested at Digit in the recent past, easily. With that, we get quite a lot of power with the mighty MediaTek Dimensity 9300 chipset, and a brilliant display. The only thing that had to be sacrificed for stuffing all that tech within the 8.9mm frame is the ergonomics. The Vivo X100 Pro comes with a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and FHD+ resolution. The smartphone comes with a 50-megapixel triple rear camera setup which is co-developed with Zeiss. We get a big 5,400mAh battery along with super fast 120W fast charging. With the Vivo X100 Pro, we also get wireless charging and reverse wireless charging.
iPhone 16 Pro
The smartphone making all the news, the iPhone 16 Pro has come across as a game-changer in terms of the camera. The company has not only upgraded the hardware, but also added some features that looked focused to every creator in the world. For example, it is the first smartphone in the world that is capable of shooting 4K videos at a 120FPS frame rate. The Camera Control or the capture button, as many are calling it brings back the old shutter buttons from smartphones, but with a touch of Apple.
