Top 10 phones of 2017: Best cameras

17 December 2017
Our recap of the year 2017 continues with a look at the best rear cameras.

Sort by:

While some excel in stills, they got lame stereo/ mono. Overall I would place then U11 & V30 as the only ones trying to be better and unique in both fields. Still I see sony colors and resolution as superior, even if not so accurate, there is something on them different(probably thx to different sensor tech), also being sole brand to offer hw camera shutter, its not something you will get with software update...

    Should i take galaxy A8+ 2018? i dont really use double front camera though

      A poor Sony fan who is trying to defend is favorite brand. Pathetic!
      My old iPhone 6 is still intact same as my sister Note 5 and my Lg G6 work perfectly since april.

Xperias haven't been relevant past the z3 and if you can't accept that and instead sugarcoat every small yet not as significant feature sony has dished out since they killed their z line as if they're the best thing since sliced bread then be my guest. You'll only make yourself look more of a fool than you already are but i really don't care about you so keep doing what you do. And i'll keep doing what i do.

              All the thing's left is to implement it.
              And before you say such things;

              Samsung has 200 Billion Dollars that they can invest.
              Sony has 150 Billion Dollars that they can invest.
              LG has 50 Billion Dollars that they can invest.

              Sony wouldn't be making something that is out of their budget. Besides, they have JDI on their side to take on Samsung and LG in the OLED race.

              Vaio went that way because it wasn't Sony's thing.
              Xperia, on the other hand, is different. I remember you already said that in the past, but I'm still waiting the day it actually comes true.
              Xperia will be an independent brand that would remain to Sony for a long period of time, until the innovation stops (seeing what Sony is doing right now, I don't think it'll happen soon enough).

                  AnonD-441601, 17 Dec 2017Well its no wonder Sony is only expensive aopart from that ... moreSony phones have high price tags because of great quality over the long period of time.
                  Samsung has screen burn in and color shifting.
                  Apple has color shifting too, but to a worse extent.
                  LG has poor OLED black illuminance issue on their supposedly "best flagship" of this year.
                  Xiaomi isn't widely available, yet even when it is, it is below the league of the rest.
                  Huawei has poor IPS LCD panel (the amount of black illuminance is horrible, even worse than the XZ Premium), the Pro is super expensive while offering less.
                  OnePlus has poor camera implementations and jelly screen scrolling effect.
                  Razer made a 120Hz display but takes a lot on the brightness (XZ Premium can run 120Hz in 1080p, yet it is way brighter than the Razer).

                  See, with almost all manufacturers having so many problems in quality, Sony is the one to take care of the overall quality seriously.

                            And if we put a camera Motomod on Z2 play it will be 1 in line of this topic with score beyond believe compared to the rest of the competition.

                                    Sony is expensive very expensive and more and more people turning back from Sony.
                                    Their Notebook Vaio division ended for a same reason.
                                    Soon or later Sony brand will be taken over by another company.
                                    Probbably Xiaomi which preforms much better on the field with their high sales.

                                        Times where half of the back body was a camera are long time gone.
                                        And if they could add Z2 play a camera moto mod ill guarantee you it will be 1 place in this chart.
