iPhone 11

Viv0321 · 03/10/2020 12:17

Just the 11 or 11 pro?

Almost all Huawei phones have excellent cameras and videos.

iPhone 11 Pro

(make sure it’s the Pro)

Aridane · 03/10/2020 12:56

It takes brilliant photos in low light

Aridane · 03/10/2020 12:56

Has a wide angle lense

Aridane · 03/10/2020 12:57

Clarity and definition is outstanding

Aridane · 03/10/2020 12:57

I am in love with my iPhone (light hearted)

Samsung S20, Best camera ive had on a phone

kiwiblue · 03/10/2020 13:18

Pixel 3a. It has the same camera as the expensive Google phones but it's much cheaper. It's a great camera, the pictures are beautiful.

kiwiblue · 03/10/2020 13:19

Obviously iPhones have really good cameras but are much much more expensive. The camera was the reason i got the Pixel 3a.

rosiethehen · 03/10/2020 13:20

I have a Galaxy S9 and I'm very impressed with the picture and video quality. I always had iphones before, but the Samsung is far better.

AConvivialHost · 03/10/2020 13:36

I've just got a Samsung S20+ and the whole reason I got it was for the camera, it's fantastic. I'd recommend putting together a shortlist of phones you are interested and then checking them out on techradar or similar sites - you can then compare image quality etc.

Viv0321 · 03/10/2020 14:01

Thanks everyone. I am super fussy and want optical image stabilisation on both video cameras too. Blush

The zoom on the 11 is absolutely woeful.

ABabyPanda · 03/10/2020 14:07

11 pro is the best camera phone I’ve had but even then it’s not as good as I was expecting? Maybe I have unrealistic expectations but hoping to get a better one next time

LilaButterfly · 03/10/2020 14:24

Wait a month for the new iphone, google pixel etc they are all coming out end of oct

Viv0321 · 03/10/2020 14:24

Argh I can’t decide!

Viv0321 · 03/10/2020 16:40

Yes there seems to be lots of new phones coming out?

I love my iPhone for everything, but I still think Samsung’s take better images

lifesalongsong · 03/10/2020 16:58

Ive wondered about the same question but then thought that it's probably better to read up on proper review sites because unless someone here has owned every model of phone there is they can't make all the comparisons and most people have a preference between android and Apple so not necessarily an unbiased view

As you have specific needs Id go with the experts

Viv0321 · 03/10/2020 17:46

Lifesalong- I haven’t stopped reading review sites. It’s quite overwhelming.

S20 plus. Amazing quality

bwfcchick88 · 03/10/2020 17:56

I would wait for the Pixel 5. S20 models are also worth looking at.
