Picking the best camera phone in 2019 has become harder, with new front-runners in recent months, including Google, Huawei and Samsung. Surprise, they're all better than iPhone when it comes to taking photos. Apple's competition has caught up.

Our testing doesn't come down to the latest iPhone or the camera with the most megapixels. So much of the camera unit's quality is determined by how well the smartphone has optimized its software to snap photos or record videos.

Note: We're always updating this best camera phone list, and as new software tweaks happen and additional phones come out, we'll keep everything fresh and continue to test everything we get our hands on.

It's also important to consider which photos you'd want to capture, since some smartphone cameras can handle certain scenarios better than others.

We’ve tested all of the top camera phones in a multitude of lighting conditions, scenarios, and with a wide range of subjects. Knowing how each camera performs at different shooting tasks will help you determine which can capture the moments you want to save.

So, before you settle on the best camera phone for you, you’ll want to figure out your photographic needs. Great front-facing sensors with a wide-angle lens (or two) to snap better selfies? An array of different sensors on the back for versatile shooting? Knowing will help you decide which phone best suits your uses.

We saw a few deals for top-end snapping phones last year on Amazon Prime Day (which is coming on July 15 this year) - for instance, the Note 8 saw a top deal in the US with a dizzying amount off.

Google could also be doing a wider sale this year to phones like the Pixel 3, so it's worth keeping an eye on the price tags during July.https://www.ttspy.com/live-phone-cameras-streaming-for-parental-con...
