  • Best Camera Phones 2012: Nokia Pureview 808 alternatives

1. Samsung Galaxy S3

The smartphone ‘designed for humans’ was rumoured to feature a 12-Megapixel camera, and while Samsung stuck with the 8-megapixel sensor from the S2, there are plenty of new features that make it a decent snapper. With an LED flash, autofocus, and tap to touchfocus on board, like the HTC One Series you can take pictures while filming HD footage, while the usual suspects of face and smile detection and image stabilization rounds off another great Android smartphone offering from Samsung.

T3 Says: “Still, it’s a decent sensor which delivers strong results and you can also capture full HD 1080p video.”
