You told us: Truly terrible camera phones are tough to find nowadays
June 02, 2025
Modernsmartphonespack pretty adeptcamera systemsthat perform well in most scenarios. Sure, older devices may struggle to keep pace with newer phones in this department, but even modernbudget devicessnap adequate shots. But do you believe the smartphone you currently own shoots great photos? We posed this question to our readers in arecent poll, and the results are now in.
Do you think your smartphone takes great photos?
This poll saw more than 1,600 votes since it went live on December 22. Unsurprisingly, most (46.7%) of respondents feel their current smartphone is capable of “great photos.” A similar number of voters think their phones shoot “good” or merely “okay” photos, with a combined 48.2% of the vote. Only 5.1% feel their phone no longer stands up to scrutiny. Considering how difficult it is to find a modern phone with an awful camera, this slim figure is entirely understandable.
Of course, feeling your device takes “great” shots is entirely subjective, but that’s what matters most. We can only really tell the difference between two phones’ photographic prowess when viewing their images side-by-side. This isn’t something you’d be doing daily, either.
