This is a list of the best camera cell phones.

Methodology
To be included in the best camera phones, phones must have:

  • ...received a high average review score
  • ...minimal camera requirements: high-resolution camera, special imaging features, etc.

We believe this approach most accurately results in a list of the absolute best Camera phones, based on multiple opinions, not just a single one.
