Amongst the pool of options, choosing the right camera smartphone can get confusing. Every phone seems to promise great photos, but not all deliver in real-world use. If you're someone who clicks a lot, then it makes sense to pick a phone that balances camera features with overall performance.
Start by looking beyond just megapixel numbers. A good camera phone should have features like Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) for steadier shots, a reliable sensor and at least one useful secondary lens.
Don't overlook other basics—battery life, storage, and display quality matter too. A well-rounded phone with a solid main camera often gives better day-to-day results than a phone that’s only good on paper. If you are ready, then here are some options to choose from.

It comes with a 50MP Sony IMX882 main camera with OIS and an 8MP ultra-wide lens. On the front, there’s a 50MP autofocus camera with a wide field of view. The AMOLED display and focus on camera features make it a good pick for content creators and selfie users.
