With camera usage being a major consideration for many users when purchasing a smartphone, we take a look at some of the best camera smartphones available: the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, Samsung Galaxy S5, LG G3, Sony Xperia Z3, Nokia Lumia 1020, HTC Desire Eye and Google Nexus 6. Thanks to cameras on smartphones, users can now click pictures whenever they want and not miss that special moment either. Moreover, it is not often that people lug around a point and shoot camera with them. If one is on the go, then it is far simpler to snap up a picture with the smartphone rather than a traditional camera. With a plethora of smartphones to choose from, consumers are spoiled with loads of choices but also faced with the dilemma of which device would best suit their purpose.Ī highly sought after feature of smartphones is their camera capability, especially with selfies being all the rage.

It’s the first time Google has made this available to non-Nexus devices, so check it out. Photo Sphere offers the ability to capture full, 360 degree immersive snapshots and is an extension of the kind of feature you’ll find from Panorama, but not limited to the horizontal plane. If used in the right circumstances, Lens Blur works remarkably well at mimicking the kind of depth of field you can capture from DSLRs. Samsung’s requires holding your phone in the same place for a while but produces more reliable results in my experience, and HTC’s needs its dual camera hardware in the new HTC One M8 but offers up strangely similar finished products. The Lens Blur feature in practice is kind of tricky to get right, as it required you shifting your phone upwards while remaining centered on your focal point. Lens Blur offers background defocusing effect like those introduced by most smartphone manufacturers on their latest generation flagship smartphones, so it’s nice to see that kind of stuff democratized. The app offers a 100 percent viewfinder to show you exactly what you’re shooting without blocking the view with interface elements, and also offers a few trick modes for taking pictures including Lens Blur, Panorama, and Photo Sphere.

The new app will also be rolling out to other devices in the future according to Google, so that might expand beyond just KitKat to those on other versions of Android. Google has a new standalone camera app available in the Google Play app store, and it can be installed on any smartphones or tablets running KitKat 4.4 or higher.
