Imbukwa, 30 Dec 2024Wonderful review. GSM arena reviews are honest compared to ... moreI was thinking the same.
All other websites have to an iPhone, a galaxy and a pixel for the top 3 spots. No real effort at finding the BEST camera phone but GSMarena does an excellent job at true analysis

            Sony should be on the top of the list cause it's the leading manufacturer of mobile phone camera equipments and it introduced optical zooming in smartphones

              I own xiaomi 13T pro and Iphone 11. 13T pro produced fake to life photo, Iphone 11 create true to life photo. Xiaomi 13T pro is for daily life, Iphone 11 is for photo shooting for work.

                Anonymous, 15 Oct 2024We need a new list.True, this is terribly outdated. Just look at the recent Oppo/Oneplus/Vivo launches.

                  Vivo x200 pro and x100 ultra should top the list regardless they are released to global or not

                      Thelost41, 27 Aug 2024Why are Vivo x100 pro and ultra models not included?Vivo X100 Pro is mentioned right behind Xiaomi 14 Ultra, X100 Ultra is not, because it's not global.

                        Why are Vivo x100 pro and ultra models not included?

                          where is the vivo x100 ultra in the advices? there is no mention at all...
                          even if is not globally spread... but everyone can buy from every place... at least an honorable mention???
                          Easy to use with the play store... the 99.99% can use with their things... and can take very good photos specially with great zoom in low light vs the others

                            R3mba, 12 Nov 2023Can anyone recommend some under 400€ phone with good camera? The Tecno Camon 30 premier is a good idea

                              I suggest GSMArena add the Tecno Camon 30 premier. It has everything it takes to be in this list

                                I'm surprised the Vivo X100 pro and Ultra do not appear on this list too.

                                  For the Best Camera Phones 2024 list, there should be a much more affordable option than the 13T Pro, like the Camon 30 Premier. As the 13T Pro isn't exactly "Most Affordable". Thanks in advance.

                                    Initially I thought Gsm Arena is not partial, but after checking that Vivo X100 Pro, Oppo X7 Ultra and Huawei is not in list. My respect for GSM arena is gone.

                                        No Huawei Mate 60 Pro Plus which topped the DXOMark score?

                                        These days GSMA looks lazy by not reviewing phones that weren't handed to them.

                                        They should make an effort to buy phones such as the Mate 60 Pro themselves for review instead of waiting for sponsors.

                                        Those days GSMArena were THE source of information for mobile phone. Be it news, specs, reviews. No other sites hold such authority.. But now sigh.. You guys really have let down your predecessors.. Sigh..
