As salt is the main ingredient of a food recipe in the same way camera is the most important thing to check out in a smart phone and of course all cameras do not have same quality. A photography enthusiast would never compromise on quality of camera in a smart phone but if we talk about a layman who do not have sufficient knowledge about the features and complication of a camera cannot identify the quality of a camera in a smart phone easily therefore we have listed here 5 things that should be looked out when you are analyzing the camera quality of a smart phone;

1. GOOD NUMBER OF MEGA PIXELS

A common man can easily be attracted towards high number of megapixels these days because a layman does not have sufficient knowledge about other terminologies of a camera. Although there should be high megapixels, but some other things should also be considered like micron meter/µm pixels that should also be high like latest smart phones are coming up with 1.4µm which will give quite good image. There must be a decent number of megapixels because more megapixels mean more resolution. For instance, if we make a comparison between selfie camera of Samsung galaxy S10 and Samsung galaxy S20 then S20 is better because it has 40MP while S10 has 10MP.

2. TYPES OF LENSES

Shutterbugs are always searching for good types of lenses and they keep changing their mobile phone and getting smart phone with better type of lenses and there are many lenses which are different from each other Wide angle lens: If lens is with focal length of 35mm or wider is known as wide angle lens which also a standard type of lens

Ultra-wide-angle lens: If lens has focal length of 25mm or wider is known as ultra-wide-angle lens. Telephoto lens: It has very high focal length which can make distant object close as much as possible. Apple iPhone 12 has telephoto lens

Monochrome camera(sensor): It shows a different amount of light including all types of black and white photography

Depth camera: Which makes the background blur.

3. VIDEO QUALITY

Video is another important thing to look out when buying a smart phone for better camera. Latest smart phones are coming up with 4K video quality which is quite amazing as compare to the others. Some smart phones are also providing 8K video quality like Samsung galaxy s20. There is another thing that is frames per second (fps) which also makes a difference for instance if iPhone can shoot up to 60fps and Samsung can shoot up to 24fps then iPhone is far better than Samsung.

4. HIGH SPEED OR SLOW-MOTION VIDEO

Now a day’s people are very much into slow-motion videos and you can see this on video making applications. Having a mobile phone with good slow-motion camera is also fun. Good slow-motion video can be recorded when camera shoots a video at high frame rate. But as frame rate increases resolution also decreases and it leads to bad quality of video. High speed camera of smart phone can record moving objects with slow or high speed which can be recorded according to high or slow frame rate that a layman can identify by fps (frame per second) figure.

5. FOCUS AND SHUTTER RESPONSE

Focus is about that how quickly a camera can focus something, and shutter response is the time from shutter release to time when camera is ready to take the next picture and it can happen in micron of seconds or can be extended to a second.

There are many other things that we must look out like different lens types, HDR, ISO control, Camera control options, Flash, Optical image stabilization, Lenses and zoom , Large screen, Bright aperture, extra memory to store pictures and videos, camera must be water resistant, how much battery drains while shooting, how much extensive battery life smart phone has and all about accessories. All in all if we summarize these things into 5 options that should be taken into account while getting a smart phone with good camera then, above mentioned things should be considered first.
