Phone cameras are getting better, more advanced, and more powerful. But are phones replacing cameras? Not yet, though cameras are losing their relevance in today's time.
Phones have all you can ask for -- three or even four cameras, bizarre megapixels, bigger sensors, and software tricks – all that can make you a better photographer.
Every phone is trying to be a camera replacement. While Samsung, Apple, and Google have jumped aboard the megapixel train, Chinese smartphone makers have long departed it. Now, they are trying to make you believe that their phones are indeed cameras.
Thus, we see smartphone makers partnering up with these traditional camera makers, those with a legacy of over a century, to sell their phones as cameras. Xiaomi has partnered up with Leica, a century-old German camera manufacturer, co-engineering the Xiaomi 13 Pro.
While we usually talk about how good of a phone, a phone is. With Xiaomi 13, it is how good of a camera this phone could be. There are three 50MP cameras – one of them is a 1-inch sensor coupled with a Leica lens and some tuning. It all looks good on paper, but how good photos can it click? (With inputs from Agencies)
