Best Phone Cameras, By Photo Quality & Hardware Capabilities

Searching for the best smartphone camera? You are at the right place. We test and rank the best camera phones with our Uber-G Camera IQ score, which comes from analyzing photos from up close, and explained in our Mobile Camera Reviews.

When the image-quality (IQ) review is not available, we have our Uber-G Camera HW (hardware) score that tells you how powerful the (rear) camera system is.

Best Mobile Camera by Image Quality

Our camera scoring system is based on four “Pillars” or sub-scores that provides much-needed nuance: day, night, zoom and ultrawide photography.

You can click/tap on each table header (Name, IQ Score, Day, Night, Zoom, Ultrawide) to sort the table by that particular metric.

Best Mobile Camera by Hardware

Note that the camera hardware is 100% driven by data and algorithms. As such, any change in data or algorithm will make the scores fluctuate. We plan on rolling out code changes or data updates from time to time to continuously improve the HW score.

Uber-G Camera HW doesn’t take into account the finesse of software tuning but check our Uber-G Camera HW page, and you will be surprised by the correlation between IQ and HW. It makes sense: great hardware should yield better photos! Check our latest Mobile Camera Reviews

Uber-G Camera IQ and HW logos and awards

To spot the best camera phones at a glance, we have created an array of Uber-G Camera score logos and awards, divided by price category and photography strength.
