2. Samsung Galaxy S2

Now superseded by the S3, Samsung’s original iPhone rival still boasts one of the best rear-facing cameras you can find on a smartphone. Improving on the 5-megapixel sensor found on the Galaxy with a much meatier 8-megapixel sensor, the S2 has a raft of manual controls including the ability to adjust ISO and white balance while Smile Shot, Cartoon and Panorama scene modes are also included.

T3 Says: “Still results are pleasing, the S2 is pretty good at controlling noise, and we’d like them to be a little sharper, colours are very natural.”
