Cameras have become one of the most important and interesting elements in smartphones. Some people tend to buy camera phones with high-end specifications regardless of whether the phones are in the mid-range or the flagship, but any company that risks manufacturing a leading device with a low-quality camera will surely make the worst sales this year.
For this reason, phone manufacturers compete to supply their devices with advanced cameras and make sure that they get the highest rating from the DXOMARK phone camera evaluation site.
The site tests and records mobile phone cameras, screens, audio, and batteries according to how they perform. Today in this article, we review the top 5 phones with the highest DxOMark score based on camera performance.
