Best camera phone

S.G.M.

Looking to buy a new phone with a top quality camera.

Was looking at the Huawei P30 Pro as its camera is supposed to be brilliant but I'd miss the headphone jack.

What would be a good alternative?
Thanks

If you can wait for Q1 2020, then potentially the S11 will be worth waiting for by all accounts.
The S11 will supposedly step up the mark in the camera dept.

If you're looking for something cheaper then maybe a Pixel 3A or Xiaomi Mi Note 10 with its Samsung 108p camera.

S11 won't have a headphone jack..

Pixel 4XL.

Perhaps, not yet confirmed 100% until the phone is officially launched by Samsung.
Also it could be the case that not all S11 models will have it removed.
Take a wait and see approach on this perhaps?

Thanks for the recommendations folks. Was looking at the Pixel 3a with Vodafone's offer but I'm already with them so can't avail of it.
@Peatys would that be a realistic option with the headphone jack insert? That looks like it could be awkward to carry around.

If the camera is the most important feature for you, I'd recommend you follow Adrian Weckler (Tech editor, Irish & Sunday Independent) on Twitter. The camera seems to be the only feature he cares about when he reviews new phones.

If he’s an Irish tech journalist (and I’d use the word tech loosely in this country) then he won’t acknowledge anything other than iPhones exist.

If you want the best overall camera on Android then you won't go far wrong with any of pixel 3/3a/4/XL

Have the mi note 10 and I'm impressed

I thought the lack of a headphone jack would be a head wreck, but I've adapted to using an adapter quickly and it's no biggie.

I have a Samsung s7 & recently bought a pixel 3a for my wife. I haven't done too much comparison but compared the cameras on them.
The s7 pictures seemed better in daylight, the 3a colours were a bit more real but the s7 pics looked better. In low light the 3a was far superior.
Only based on a few pictures taken 1 day but I would have thought the 3a would have been better in daylight. The low light pictures were ok but not anything special, grainy if you zoom in.
If the camera is the main focus why not buy a good camera?

They really aren’t. They’re more versatile but they don’t take better pictures.

Good to hear he's ( son,phone for him)into the photography ,thanks

If it’s for a chap and they’re mainly into photos then the 3A would be the one. Good price and camera.

Have we come to a conclusion? Lol

not breaking the bank but very good camera -> pixel 3a. as good a camera as most need tbh. takes excellent photos day and night. if you port a number over to vodafone you can get it for €180 until jan 2. complete bargain

money no object -> latest huawei pro phone e.g. mate 30 pro, latest samsung note.

Best of the best but won’t be able to stray too far from an electrical socket ever again -> Pixel 4

They’re very good (I’ve one myself and the zoom is class) but they don’t take as good a photo as the Pixel.
I’m not sure how the headphone jack helps with photography.
