Overall score

I

t probably doesn’t come as much of a shock, but the phone that is basically a

camera with a phone attached is our pick for best camera phone. The HTC

Desire Eye has done a good job with its powerful front-facing camera and it

does pick out a lot of background details, but for overall quality of phone and

camera, the Samsung reigned supreme. Its front-facing offering did an admirable

job, while the rear one is just fantastic. If you are a regular at festivals or sporting

events, this will take photos your friends will be incredibly envious of with its

razor-sharp 10x optical zoom. The LG G3 is one of our favourite phones, but when

focusing just on its camera features, the handset falls short. The rear-facing

camera is clear, quick to focus and sharp, but the front-facing one is

disappointing. The Samsung beats it on pretty much all fronts, although if we

were talking about the phone as a whole, the LG would have it beaten. The Honor

6 was the surprise package of the four, keeping up with its rivals despite the price

difference. Both cameras were effective and easy-to-use but it was just lacking a

bit of fi nesse and clarity. If you are a keen phone photo taker but don’t want to

shell out the mega bucks for a fl agship model, the K Zoom will take care of all your

basic needs while delivering a truly fi rst rate camera experience.
