Best Smartphone Cameras Of 2014-Top 7 by baseg25(m): 4:11pm On Jul 31, 2014
6 Best Camera Smartphones to Shot Fine Pictures

A smartphone is a mobile phone with more advanced computing capability and connectivity than basic feature phones.Early Smartphones typically combined the features of a mobile phone with those of another popular consumer device, such as a personal digital assistant (PDA), a media player, a digital camera, and/or a GPS navigation unit. These days, smartphones include all of those plus the features of a touch screen computer, including web browsing, Wi-Fi, NFC, and 3rd-party apps.
Although, much has been written about the demise of the camera at the hands of the smartphone. As we all know that photographers knows, a good camera offers superior image quality, variable lens focal lengths, faster operation and more creative control, to name but a few benefits. With all these, smartphones are getting better and better every day.
Now, Smartphones cameras now offer innovative features that most cameras can only dream of, and With the image quality, it has now reached the stage where in good light conditions only a skilled eye can spot the difference between the images from a phone and a basic compact.The Samsung Galaxy S4 and iPhone 4 could be regarded as the generation that gave rise to sophistication of cameras in smartphones.

So I'm going to share with you the Best and Top rated Camera Phones in 2014. This Gadget have been listed according to their performance and capability. I've also added some key features or specification for these devices.



Tecno R7

Tecno, surely deserves a place here. Few years ago, it was ejected by elites in some parts of Africa. In recent years, the Chinese phone company has given the likes of Samsung, Apple and HTC a run for their money. The Tecno R7 was released not too long after the S5 was launched. Yes there were comparisons with the S5. In truth, the S5 is a beast of a machine. However, Tecno R7 has scored some points with its impressive ram, storage and most importantly: Camera – it ships with an in-built 13 Mega Pixel that is a beauty and a front camera of 5-Mega Pixel, which is just amazing for taking selfies. It is a complete huge leap from the previous generation Tecno m7 that had just 8mega pixel camera. Back in the day, people were crazy about its camera. It only gets better with Tecno

7.Best for Low-light Photography
HTC One M8

£535 (16GB, expandable)
While other manufacturers have been keen to boost the megapixel counts of their cameraphones, HTC has gone in the opposite direction; decreasing overall resolution in a bid to enlarge the individual light-gathering pixels that populate the sensor. HTC calls these Ultrapixels and the basic premise is that, because they are larger, the M8's camera is better equipped to capture superior images in low light without being plagued by noise. The downside to this approach, as has been well documented, is that the M8's overall resolution is limited to just 4MP. While this doesn't manifest itself on the M8's 5-inch screen, blow your images up any larger and you will quickly notice the lack of fine detail.
Ultrapixels isn't the only novel approach taken by the HTC One M8 either. HTC has also taken the step of fitting the M8 with a separate depth sensor just above the main camera sensor.
The main purpose behind this is that it allows the user to create selective blurring effects after an image has been taken. HTC calls this U-Focus, and it's capable of producing quite good results when used in the right context (but also poor results when used in certain situations).
Elsewhere, other highlights of the M8 include blisteringly fast performance, a glut of built-in digital filter effects, one-touch Panorama and HDR image creation and, last but not least, 1080p Full HD video capture. Overall, if you're more interested in low-light photography than overall resolution, then the HTC One M8 is undoubtedly the smartphone camera for you.

I Went through the said list and I couldn't but wonder why TECNO is leading the pack. Yes TECNO of all smartphone's that technology allowed to have graced 2014.
I'm not a hater on the TECNO brand but, whenever a spade is seen, it's shouldn't be called anything short of a Spade. TECNO is a capital NO!

I'm pretty certain the front camera of my S4 will perform better than that TECNO R7 or whatever you call it. Nevertherless, I must applaud the coy in charge of TECNO's production. Over the course of the years, the improvement on their devices has been seen to have provided a near perfect substitute for people who don't seem to be in the technological rave or people who can't afford the staggering prices of the Samsung's, Sony's or Apple phones.

Take it or leave it, NOKIA's LUMIA 1020 Is The King Of Mobile Photograhy. (Argue in Your Space Please). The design, megapixel is just apt and stunning. Have you seen a video on a LUMIA 1020?? If Not, kindly look for someone to borrow from and check it out.
The rest on my list in no particular order will be,

iPhone 5s - Apple Needs No Introduction. Take it or leave it the camera is clearer that early morning water from the stream!

Sony Xperia Z2 - No words

LG G3 - Equipped with a laser-focus 13 Megapixel. That's all you need to convince you if you're no dolt.

Samsung Galaxy S5 - I personally own an S4 and believe me, pictures on S4 is nothing short of amazing.. S5 blew me out on seeing it.

HTC One M8 - you just doff your hat for this piece of tech.

I disagree. Try a lumia in low light and see.

please stop insulting great phone manufacturers by either delecting tecno from that list or you delect other brands. Your list which included tecno is not acceptable.

AsSabirin:

you may be right..
While performance can be a little slow and shutter-lag times aren't comparable to more expensive digital cameras, the Nokia 1020 nonetheless excels compared to other camera phones. Used in good light oversampled 5MP images display huge amounts of fine detail that you wouldn't be able to capture using other cameraphones. Low light performance is also class-leading compared to other smartphone cameras, with higher sensitivity settings such as ISO 800 and ISO 1600 both surprising usable. Throw in a number of useful features, including high-speed and 1080p Full HD video recording and the Nokia 1020 is just about the best cameraphone in the market.
So nokia lumia is best for Resolution while Htc one m8 is best for low light photography.
