Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus

Launched earlier this year, the Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus is the most expensive device in the series to date. Featuring the MediaTek Dimensity 1080 processor, the base variant of the phone comes with 256GB internal storage and 8GB RAM, which, on paper, should be enough for most users.

Coming to the camera, the Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus features a 200MP primary sensor with OIS backed by an 8MP ultrawide lens and another 2MP macro sensor. The 200MP sensor can take good photos in both broad daylight and low light. Photos in normal mode have captured most details and if you turn on Night Mode, the images will be on the brighter side.

For some reason, Xiaomi decided to ship the phone with MIUI 13 based on Android 12. It is scheduled to get two Android updates, meaning the last update will be Android 14, which will be out in a couple of months from now. If you can live with MIUI and don’t care about Android updates, the Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus is a good phone. It starts from Rs 29,999.

Motorola Edge 30 Ultra

Motorola launched the Edge 30 Ultra in September last year. On paper, it is the first phone in the world to pack a 200MP camera sensor. The flagship device is powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset and runs on near-stock Android 12 out of the box.

On the back, you get a 200MP Samsung HP1 sensor backed by a 50MP ultrawide sensor and 12MP telephoto lens. While it may not be the best 200MP sensor, in broad daylight, the photos manage to preserve most details.

Those looking for a phone with a near-stock Android and a 200MP camera can consider the Edge 30 Ultra, but Motorola’s track record of Android updates might come off as a bummer for some. The base variant that comes with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage is available on Flipkart for Rs 44,999 without any offers.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra

Samsung’s latest flagship phone – the Galaxy S23 Ultra (review) is definitely one of the best and most powerful Android phones available right now. It packs a quad camera setup, with the primary camera sporting the company’s recently announced 200MP ISOCELL HP2 sensor.

Regular photos taken on the S23 Ultra come out sharp and crisp, but low-light photos are equally impressive. The phone handles tricky light conditions really well. Samsung promises 4 years of Android updates and 5 years of security updates, which is more than what Google has to offer. If price is not a concern, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is hands down the best smartphone for photography. It starts from Rs 1,24,999.
