Camera Phone

I love phone accessories that make your device feel more like a camera, so you can shoot more naturally. Xiaomi's run with that concept on the 17 Ultra Leica Edition, whose camera bump doubles as a ring you can twist to adjust the optical zoom.

The Thermal Master P3 has emerged as one of the most promising compact heat-seeking cameras of 2025, managing to pack professional-level performance into a thumb-sized device for a third of the price of other imagers. There's a reason for the praise.

Honor is hyping up a phone concept that looks too bonkers to be true – and for the moment, it is. The 'Robot Phone' has an articulating gimbal arm with a camera at one end, and the whole thing is hidden behind a sliding glass panel on the back. Why?

Xiaomi's latest flagship handset has launched in China ahead of an expected Mobile World Congress appearance in Barcelona next week. The 14 Ultra's headline feature is a Leica main camera with a new Sony 1-inch sensor.

Former Huawei sub-brand Honor has announced the international launch of the Honor 90 smartphone, which not only rivals the mighty Galaxy S23 Ultra in the camera department but boasts a HDR10 OLED display that's designed to be kind to your peepers.

Late last year, Chinese consumer electronics brand Xiaomi cemented its relationship with Leica when the company launched the camera-focused 13 Series smartphones. Now the 13 Ultra joins the pack to take the flagship spot.

Following a November 2002 launch in China, the Vivo X90 series flagship smartphones have now gone global. With the focus very much on photography, the X90 Pro features a Sony 1-inch-type sensor and Zeiss optics.

Samsung wants the world to witness the power of its fully armed, operational and wildly unnecessary 200-megapixel Isocell HP1 smartphone camera sensor. So it's taken a picture of a cat, and printed it at 1.5 times the size of a basketball court.

Smartphone cameras are capable of snapping some incredible photos, even if their image sensors can't match those of DSLR and mirrorless cameras. Now Sony is bridging the gap by cramming a 1-inch Exmor sensor into the upcoming Xperia Pro-I handset.

Chinese smartphone manufacturer Xiaomi has officially confirmed that its upcoming Mi Mix phone will be the world's first smartphone to use "liquid lens" technology in its camera, allowing super-fast autofocus and optical zoom changes.

Xiaomi has unveiled the Mi Mix Alpha, a concept phone with a screen that wraps around the back – plus a frankly-ridiculous 108-megapixel camera.

Chinese phone manufacturer Xiaomi has reignited the megapixel race, long after most of us thought it was over. Along with a 64-megapixel flagship phone for its Redmi brand, the company announced it's preparing to debut a 100-megapixel phone camera designed in conjunction with Samsung.
