BEST CAMERA SMARTPHONES IN 2018 TO BUY

Cameras on flagships have simply changed to another level. These cant be even compared with similar grade DSLRs, as they now come with high grade features that can't be found on a single camera. For example,  the new Sony Xperia XZ2 comes with the High Frame Recording in FULL HD 1080p at 960fps. The similar specific feature can be found on a RX100 MARK V. Much of the camera phones released has huge sensors (Huwaei P20 PRO), wider apertures (S9 PLUS) and many comes even with their own Image processors. The Result? You can take the mobile photography trend to a whole new level and that too with the help of a simple smartphone.

The Galaxy S9 is one of the best camera smartphones ever made
