1. Huawei Mate 40 Pro
Huawei Mate 40 Pro was launched in November 2020. First things first - the Mate 40 Pro has one sad flaw, and it’s a deal-breaker for most users out there. Users cannot access Google’s own app store because of the Google trade ban in the US, though it is not in India but you never know.
The Mate 40 Pro has 50MP (wide, f/1.9) + 12MP (periscope telephoto, f/3.4) + 20MP (ultrawide, f/1.8) and 13MP (ultrawide, f/2.4) front camera. The Mate 40 Pro is the best camera phone in the world, giving the best overall complete package. Both regular and ultra-wide angle shots look amazing in day-light and low-light conditions, while the 5x optical zoom performs outstanding even in lower light too. Focussing is pretty fast and catchy, and the front-facing selfie camera can help you capture groupfie, thanks to its wide-angle lens. It has super-stabilized video with impressive HDR for good measure, and it is a smartphone with a camera that’s capable of excelling at any task you use for. If you are into photography more than anything else, this is the best smartphone to opt for. The smartphone is priced at roughly ₹1,05,000.
2. iPhone 12 Pro Max
Apple iPhone 12 series was launched in October, 2020. The iPhone 12 Pro Max ranks second in the list as one of the very best camera phones in the world.
