With every new flagship phone release comes improvements to the phone camera. Google’s Pixel 1 set the bar for the flagship phone with an amazing camera. Apple was caught out with the iPhone 7 release, but quickly made up for it with the iPhone 8. Now the camera phone race is neck and neck with the iPhone 11 Pro and the Pixel 4 using the latest and greatest camera sensors and lens arrays. But they’re not the only companies that are looking to push smartphone camera technology: Motorola, Huawei, and Samsung are also putting strong efforts into their smartphone camera research and development.

Having the latest and greatest camera phone is a wonderful thing, but like any tool, it’s only as good as the person who’s using it. And modern smartphone cameras are the equivalent of point-and-shoot film cameras from 20 years ago. What that means is that you can have the best software, hardware, and lens on your camera, but still not get a good image because you went with a point-and-click setting. Smartphone camera software is pretty amazing when it comes to what it can do in terms of creating a good image, but if you want something spectacular from your smartphone camera, you need to go manual.

Smartphone camera apps let you adjust the image so you can get the final image that you desire. Open or close the aperture, use night sight, or use the macro setting to bring a specific detail into sharp focus. Learning how to use the camera settings helps you avoid resorting to the use of HDR+, which can create an overblown effect in your final images. Check out the top phones and those one tier down to determine which make and model delivers what you need from your final image. The learning curves aren’t deep, and you’ll find that you can create good-looking images with minimal effort.
