Today the smartphone world growing rapidly. Many
manufacturers release their products with affordable price tags. And also with
different qualities. One of the main thing to consider when it comes to a
smartphone is that it’s camera.
Some people have a misunderstand that a better camera means
a better pixel amount. This statement is baseless. Of course with a good amount
of pixels can capture more details but the overall quality do not rely only on
that feature.
So today techmagister guide you to find a smartphone with a
better camera.
Main Camera
Today almost every phone has at least 8MP main camera. So
that is enough Pixel amount to take good photos. But you have to consider few
more specs too.
- Aperture
Aperture refers to the opening of a lens's diaphragm
through which light passes. It is calibrated in f/stops and is generally
written as numbers such as 1.4, 2, 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11 and 16. A smaller f-stop
means a larger aperture, while a larger f-stop means a smaller aperture. Most
people find this awkward, since we are used to having larger numbers represent
larger values, but not in this case. For example, f/1.4 is larger than f/2.0
and much larger than f/8.0.

- Auto focus mode
Auto focus simply focus on the objects front of the camera
automatically. There are two types of autofocus modes:
- Phase detection auto focus :PDAF
Phase detection auto focus splits the image into two
'copies', then adjusts the lens elements until the two images 'merge', ie until
they're in phase. Its main advantage is speed.
Latest phones with PDAF

moto z play, Galaxy S6 series, Xiaomi mi5-redmi 3s prime-note 3-redmi 3s, LG v20,
Lenovo vibe k5 note.
- Laser auto focus: LAF
The camera unit of these phones is equipped with a laser
transmitter and receiver. The phone will basically emit an infrared laser,
which bounces off the subject and returns to the receiver. The receiver notes
down the time taken by the laser to return. The speed of the laser is constant.
Speed is distance divided by time. And with quick, simple math, the camera
knows the distance to the subject. Just like that, the subject will be brought
into focus, and the image is taken.

Dual Cameras
Basically dual cameras has two camera modules. One with a
larger sensor and other one with a low sensor(1 or 2 MP) . The larger camera
capture the details and the other camera captures the depth information or
light conditions or both. So you can edit your shot in a better way. Focus on
any subject after taking the picture.
Phones with dual camera:
HTC one m8-M8 eye, Huawei Honor 8-p9-Honor 6x, Honor 6 plus
Opticle Image Stabilization: OIS
This is one of the important feature when it comes to low
light photography and hand held videos. OIS simply move the camera lenses
according to the movement of the device so video will note going to be shaky.
Phones with OIS:
Iphone 6s plus-7, HTC one m7-A9,LG G4, Galaxy note 4-5,
Nexus 6,Galaxy s6-s7 etc.
Which one is the best for selfies:
This section is because selfies have become more popular in
these days. To take a good selfies, camera should have a smaller aperture, at
leat 2MP sesor and some other features like BSI sensor and front LED flash.
Lower f number makes low light phptps look great. That’s why iphone selfies are
better. Also HTC ULTRAPIXEL camera is also does a good job when it comes to
selfies.
What is the best smartphone camera
.
This is one of the hardest thing to answer.Some phones have
some features that others don’t, vice versa. But overall in 2016 HTC 10, iPhone
7 series, Galaxy s7, Huawei p9 leica cameras and some xiaomi phone cameras
perform well.
