Which smartphone has the best camera?

Alison needs to replace her smartphone and she wants one that will take good photographs in a wide range of lighting conditions

Continuing the theme from last week, I need advice on replacing my Huawei smartphone, following an unfortunate incident involving a car door. My phone is also my camera, so my main criterion is that it will take good shots in most lights. The Huawei, while fine in other ways, fell short in the photography department. I'd be interested in recommendations at different price points. Alison

Smartphone cameras are now amazingly good, and if you buy a top-end smartphone, it's increasingly hard to take a bad photograph with it. We've therefore started to see some Darwinian-style speciation as manufacturers look for profitable niches. Over the past five years, we've seen more dual-lens cameras appear with extra wide angle or telephoto features. Some manufacturers have improved the front-facing camera to target people who mainly take selfies. Some phones are waterproof, like the Apple iPhone 7 and the Samsung Galaxy S7.
