Instead of focusing only on bigger numbers and specs, the Xiaomi 17T seems to address practical photography challenges like lighting, distance, and motion.
Since the phone supports Expert RAW, I wanted to know how people edit their photos. Do you edit on the phone itself or move files to a PC for software like Lightroom?
As much as I saw, Nightography is probably the feature that stood out on the Samsung phones. Custom presets are something that saves time. Can anyone here share how I can use it on my Galaxy S26 Ultra?
I do not want to stick to Galaxy S26 Ultra for gaming. I want to learn more about photography. Can its AI editing skills create DSLR-like images?
Are smartphones too focused on cameras? Do you think it is still worth buying a phone that is camera-friendly, or are all phone cameras good enough for photography?
Many flagship smartphones today feature 50MP camera systems and AI-enhanced photography, helping us capture social-media-ready posts. Any professional creator, I want to hear from you. Do you agree that smartphone cameras can become sole reasons for buying flagships?
Megapixels usually get all the attention, but things like better low-light photos, stronger contrast, and less lens flare often make a bigger difference in everyday photography.
Telemacro photography can be surprisingly useful. From flowers, foods, pets and small objects, it's one of those features that becomes more fun the more you use it.
Having several portrait focal length choices gives users more flexibility and makes mobile photography feel closer to using a dedicated camera.
The wider and upgraded aperture has enhanced night photography. I have clicked some of the images in low light on the Samsung Galaxy S26 . I observed that the images were clear and even brought rich details in deep shadows. Often, capturing photos in low light, the dark tones lose their colour. Have you gone through its camera feature? Which one is your favourite?
I have been exploring low-light photography lately. I clicked some low-light photos using S26 Nightography feature, and the snaps were really clear and vibrant. I can see the intricate detailing even in a dark environment. The brightness looked natural, and it did not even wash my skin tone. Has anyone tried any night shots? How has your experience been?
I love wildlife photography, and I think it is one of the toughest jobs to do. Last week, I went on a safari trip carrying my Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, and I captured a lot of photos of the jungle, animals, and even shot a mammoth elephant. Honestly, I did not feel the need to take out my DSLR for clicking pictures. Even the long-distance shots were good enough under harsh sunlight.
Are you also the one who is annoyed with night photography with your smartphone? I have seen that most of the phones capture daytime photos clearer and stabilised. I checked images on my Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra and found the Super Steady mode really fantastic. This spec is really good, but just thinking if it can stabilize walking shots properly at night.
The Vivo X300 Ultra is now finally coming to India! It has been in the news for months because of its advanced imaging capabilities. I have noticed that Vivo flagships focus heavily on photography, especially portraits and zoom. Do you think X300 Ultra will seriously compete with Samsung and Apple cameras this year?
Are Ray-Meta glasses waterproof? Can I use them for my street photography during the heavy rains? I checked its IPX rating, though, and that makes me nervous. Has anyone tried these in monsoon? Can they really survive?
Virtual Aperture mode on the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra gives pro users control over background blur. It sounds like something photography enthusiasts will love. Do you guys actually use Expert RAW or just stick to the main app?
My budget is 45000, and I’m looking for a smartphone with advanced camera features that can capture good daylight photos as well as night photos. As a photography enthusiast, I recently went to Jaisalmer and noticed that my front camera photos were blurry. With a good camera smartphone, the Oppo Reno 15 and Vivo V70 are highly recommended. However, I am looking for a few other options that can support 4K video within this budget. Any suggestions?
Is there any specific difference between the camera on the iPhone 17 and the iPhone 16 in daily use? I’m thinking of buying one and am interested in knowing about improvements in photo quality, colour accuracy, low-light performance, zoom capabilities, and video recording features. Has Apple really introduced an upgrade to hardware or software systems suitable for everyday photography? Have these changes shown really significant improvements?
Samsung has launched new Agentic AI features with the Galaxy S26 series, but I’m not entirely sure how it actually works. I want to understand what these AI capabilities are, how they work in real use, and what benefits they bring to the phone experience. I’m especially interested in learning whether it improves other tasks, such as photography, productivity, voice assistance, or everyday phone interactions, compared to previous models.
I just read that Apple is testing a variable aperture lens for the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max. There’s also talk of a new telephoto camera with a larger aperture for better zoom shots. Do you think this is enough for Apple to catch up with Vivo and Oppo in mobile photography?
