Which Phone Has The Best Camera?

So you want to buy a new camera and a new phone, but you don't have enough money to get both.
It is possible to get a phone with a decent camera in this day in age however a physical camera will always be better. Today we will compare phone cameras from 5 different carriers. The first phone on the list is the best and the rest aren't in any particular order.

Verizon Wireless
1. Samsung Galaxy S4/Note 3
Camera: 13MP
2. Motorola Droid Ultra/Maxx/Mini/Moto X
Camera: 10MP
3. LG G2
Camera: 13MP
4. HTC One
Camera: 4MP
5. Nokia Lumia 928
Camera: 8.7MP


Sprint
1. Samsung Galaxy S4/Note 3
Camera: 13MP
2. Moto X
Camera: 10MP
3. LG Optimus G
Camera:13MP
4. HTC One

5. iPhone 5S

2. Moto X

2. iPhone 5S

3.Samsung Galaxy SIII

4.  Samsung Galaxy SII

All of these companies have great phones to offer but the best is definitely the Nokia Lumia 1020. The only problem with this phone is that it is only availale through AT&T. If you have a different carrier you should look into either the Moto X or the Galaxy S4. We hope you found this helpful in choosing your phone.
Phone Cameras Through the Ages

The first camera phone was invented in 1997 and ever since then cameras in phones have gotten more and more popular. Personally I don't like most phone cameras but they are very handy at times. Today we will compare the cameras of several different mobile devices.

Using 5 different devices I took a photo of the same thing. The phones date from 2009-2013. Unfortunately we could not get are hands on some older phones to compare.                                                                                     

Device: iPod Touch 4th Generation
Release Date: September,20,2010
Main Camera: 0.7 Megapixels
Front Camera: VGA 0.3 MP
Flash: No
Phone: LG Cosmos 3
Carrier: Verizon
Release Date:  April,16, 2013
Main Camera: 1.3 Megapixels

The clear winner is the newest phone the Droid Ultra. Megapixels aren't everything however the 10MP camera was obviously better than the 0.7MP camera.
