IPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max
iPhone 13 Pro Max 128 Go | iPhone 13 Pro, 128GB | |
---|---|---|
1179€ | 859€ | |
1187,24€ | 759,00€ | |
1 064 € | 759€ |
The iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max are phones with stunning cameras. Each has a 12MP f/1.5 main sensor with large 1.9µm pixels, a 12MP f/1.8 ultra-wide and a 12MP f/2.8 telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom.
The new Photographic Styles feature and Cinematic mode are also impressive, although we suspect they won’t be widely used by most buyers. But with an improved Portrait mode, the return of ProRAW and an excellent shooting experience, the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max are photography beasts.
Huawei Mate 40 Pro
DxOMark named the Mate 40 Pro the monster of the dynamic range with a total score of 136 points. For photos, it scored a monstrous 140 points. For Zoom, it scored 88 points. For videos, it scored 116 points. The average score is 136 points and it is now the highest rated camera phone in the world according to DxoMark’s testing protocols.
The Huawei Mate 40 Pro outscored the previous leader, the Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra, by 3 points. 3 points is a significant gap in DxO’s tests. It’s also 4 points ahead of Huawei’s own P40 Pro, with 132 points.
Google Pixel 6 Pro

Its triple camera system at the back has received a full hardware refresh: the main camera (26mm wide angle) has a 50MP 1/1.31 sensor with 1.2 micron pixels, omnidirectional phase detection autofocus, laser autofocus and OIS. For a wider perspective, there’s also an ultra-wide 12MP 17mm camera module.
But perhaps the most impressive camera on the Pixel 6 Pro is its new periscope zoom camera. Using a 48MP sensor with an f/3.5 aperture and a 104mm lens, the telephoto module gives you a zoom of around 4x. The sensor itself is tiny at 1/2 inch, but thanks to Google’s software know-how combined with OIS, it’s still a great addition to the handset, and really makes the 6 Pro worth picking up over the regular Pixel 6.
Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus

$1,049.99 |
The Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus’ photo features aren’t as comprehensive as the S22 Ultra’s. And the S22 Plus’ cameras are quite capable, especially after Samsung increased the megapixels on the main shooter to 50MP. The sensor is also larger on the phone, so the Galaxy S22 Plus lets in more light for sharper photos in more challenging environments.
It’s not just the main camera that has been improved. The Galaxy S22 Plus’ telephoto lens now supports a 3x optical zoom, instead of the hybrid zoom that the S21 Plus offered. If you’re looking for a smaller version of this phone, check out the Galaxy S22. It has the same camera features as the Plus, but in a smaller and slightly cheaper package.
Sony Xperia 1 III

The Sony Xperia 1 III is the only choice for video professionals and film enthusiasts who want to use smartphone videography manually. It’s capable of shooting footage up to 21:9 aspect ratio for cinema-style capture, offers full manual control and has a beautifully flat colour profile, suitable for post-processing on Premiere Pro or Da Vinci Resolve.
Fortunately, almost everything else about this phone is excellent too, with a striking 21:9 4K HDR display, a clean user interface and a snappy chipset providing plenty of power under the bonnet
Google Pixel 6

While it may lack a telephoto lens, the Google Pixel 6 is still a powerful camera phone. You get the same 50MP main and 12MP ultra-wide sensors in a slightly smaller body. Photos come out clear and sharp.
Still, the Pixel 6 is the best camera phone for most Android users. You’ll get stunning landscape photos, portraits and selfies. And with all the new AI-based photography features, like Magic Eraser, you have a lot at your disposal.
