Best camera phones in 2024
We've tested all the best camera phones — these are the ones that rise to the top
Ask anyone what’s the most important feature they look for when buying a phone, I guarantee you that a lot of them will tell you that having excellent cameras will influence their buying decision. I’m not surprised by this because the best camera phones offer outstanding optical quality, allow you to zoom farther, see what you can’t see in the dark, and even capture jaw dropping 4K video.
I’ve been reviewing phones for 16 years now and one skill I’ve acquired in the process is understanding the controls and functions of a camera, and how to master them to get the best results.
After testing dozens of phones this year alone, along with my other colleagues, we’ve come to the agreement that the iPhone 16 Pro is the best camera phone around — mainly due to how it shares the same cameras as the iPhone 16 Pro Max, but at a slightly lower cost. It also delivers top-notch quality, and with the arrival of Apple Intelligence with iOS 18, it finally adds some useful AI-assisted features.
If you’re looking for the best camera phone among Android devices, I can tell you that there’s a robust selection to choose from — with each having their own strengths. I’d recommend the Pixel 9 Pro because it has the same cameras as the Pixel 9 Pro XL, which topped the almighty Galaxy S24 Ultra in my 200 photo face-off.
Speaking of photo comparisons, I’ve pitted many of the flagships in the last year against each other in our 200 photo face-off series.

Here's a summary of the best camera phones you can buy right now based on our head-to-head testing of each phone's camera capabilities. Keep scrolling to find the in-depth reviews of every camera phone featured here. And with many…
