The Very Good Smartphone Cameras You Aren’t Considering | The PetaPixel Podcast
This week on The PetaPixel Podcast, Chris Niccolls, Jordan Drake, and I are joined by PetaPixel‘s mobile and computing contributing writer Ted Kritsonis to talk about the very good smartphone camera systems that North Americans might not know about or have outright disregarded.

Vivo, Xiaomi, and Honor have been closing the gap on Samsung, Google, and Apple for several years now, and Kritsonis says that in many ways, they’ve exceeded the capabilities of the “big three” by leaps and bounds. It’s not just software, but hardware, too and while these Chinese brands aren’t quite up to the same level when it comes to AI, that won’t be the case for long. Their fierce competition with one another has created an environment where they’re constantly trying to one-up each other and that results in a better product for the end consumer.
