With smartphone technology advancing rapidly, there’s hardly any need for a compact camera these days. Unless you are a professional photographer, most of your photography needs can be fulfilled by a good-quality camera phone. Most smartphones in the market come with advanced specifications like increased megapixels, image sensors, burst shooting, and digital zoom, and keeping a separate, bulky camera is now redundant.

Here are some of the top-rated smartphones with the best camera quality:

• Apple iPhone 11 Pro
  Released in September 2019, this latest offering from Apple boasts of a triple camera array, including a 2MP, f/2.2 TrueDepth front camera and three rear cameras with 12MP 13mm f/2.4, 12MP 26mm f/1.8, and 12MP 52mm f/2. With fantastic portrait effects, the camera gives a true-to-life image.
  It also comes with an ultra-wide back camera that produces distortion-free and sharp images, making it perfect for travel photography. The Apple iPhone 11 Pro gives consistent image quality, as the colors, exposures, and tones are the same across all the cameras. Also, unlike other phones that use excessive HDR, noise reduction, and image sharpening, the Apple iPhone 11 Pro never makes the photos look over-processed.
• Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G
  Arguably the best among the top-rated smartphones, the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G features an impressive list of specifications that include a 108MP primary camera, 5G future-proofing, and up to 100X zooming capability. There are four rear cameras: 108MP camera with a primary, f/1.8 lens, 26mm, a 12MP camera with ultra-wide-angle f/2.2, 13mm, a 48MP camera with telephoto lens f/3.5, 103mm, and a ToF depth-sensing camera. The front camera is 40MP with an f/2.2, 26mm lens.
  While the battery life is an issue, the smartphone more than makes up for this one little flaw with its 8K video feature, excellent telephoto images, and storage of up to 128 GB.
• Google Pixel 4 XL
  One of the top-rated smartphones in the Android segment, the Google Pixel 4 XL comes with an excellent primary rear camera, an astrophotography mode, and a 2X optical zoom feature.
  The Google Pixel 4 XL has an edge over other camera smartphones, thanks to its Astro mode. This feature holds the shutter open for longer, allowing you to capture the night sky in brilliant detail. It also boasts of a sharper screen that produces realistic images and longer battery life.
• Huawei P40 Pro
  Among the top-rated smartphones that are also value for money, the Huawei P40 Pro boasts of a 50-megapixel main lens with a 1/1.28-inch sensor, 12-megapixel telephoto lens, 40-megapixel ultrawide-angle lens, and a 3D depth sensor. The smartphone offers up to 256GB storage, a 5X periscope zoom on its telephoto lens, a depth sensor, and is designed to use AI stabilization for zooming up to 50X. Its monochrome feature allows you to take brilliantly-artistic shots, and the bokeh blur effect has excellent edge detection.
