The following list of the best Android camera phones has been put together by selecting key flagship devices of major mobile manufacturers. Considering the number of Google-branded smartphones that are currently flooding the markets, you have a lot of options to choose from in this particular category. But, if you wish to settle for nothing but the best, here’s our roster that will put an end to all the confusion surrounding your next mobile companion. Read on.
1 – Samsung Galaxy S3:
The hype surrounding the Samsung Galaxy S3 definitely has its reasons and the handset seems perfect for those of you who do not want to compromise on features, whatsoever. Although it acquires multitasking properties from a quad core processor, its US-bound version ditches the chipset for a dual core one. But, the device more than makes up for it with support for 4G LTE connectivity and 2GB of RAM.
It tags along a 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED display of 1280 x 720p resolution, an 8MP primary snapper and a 1.9MP front-mounted webcam to go with it. Moreover, the handset ships with Ice Cream Sandwich and its US version is expected to receive the Jelly Bean update very soon.
Price: $199.99 (16GB, Verizon, with a two-year contract)
2 – HTC One X+:
Although there are a number of HTC devices worthy enough to be mentioned on our lineup of Android camera phones, the one that we have added here is the latest of the lot. The HTC One X+ flaunts a 4.7-inch Super LCD 2 720p HD multi-touch screen which is coated with Corning Gorilla Glass 2 for resistance from scrapes and scratches. Resting snugly under the hood, is a 1.7GHz Nvidia Tegra 3 quad core processor along with 1GB RAM.
Furthermore, the Android Jelly Bean smartphone comes with 64GB internal storage and is armed with an 8MP primary shooter as well as a 1.6MP front webcam. It draws power from a 2100mAh battery.
Price: £395 (unlocked)
3 – Motorola Droid Razr Maxx HD:
It is very important for a smartphone to cough up the juice for a long time, considering that a large number of users carry out their tasks on these gadgets. Sadly not many devices manage to impress those for whom long battery life is a pre-requisite. But, the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx HD is here to bring all your battery-related woes to an end. It claims to be charged up for a whooping 32 hours or lets you enjoy HD video playback for close to 13 hours.
You can even expect a 4.7-inch HD display resting comfortably on the 9.3mm thick profile of the device, a front-mounted webcam and an 8MP imager along with an intuitive user interface powered by Android Ice Cream Sandwich.

4 – Sony Xperia T:
The Sony Xperia handsets are, without any doubt, some of the finest options for snap-happy people and one of the devices from this range deserving of a reference on our array of the best Android camera phones is the Xperia T. Drenched in shades of silver, white and black, the Ice Cream Sandwich smartphone employs a scratch-resistant 4.55-inch capacitive multi-touch Reality display powered by Mobile Bravia Engine.
A 1.3MP camera graces the front panel, while a 13MP snapper with LED flash and auto focus lays claim over the back. And if that’s not all, you can launch multiple applications on the handset, thanks to its 1.5GHz dual core Qualcomm Krait processor and 1GB RAM.
Price: £414 (unlocked)
5 – LG Optimus G:
Now if you are the resident of the US and on the lookout for a quad core phone that lets you enjoy 4G LTE network speed, you should wait for the LG Optimus G to go live through AT&T and Sprint. It gains steam from a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro processor with 1.5GHz quad core Krait CPUs and 2GB RAM, while the Ice Cream Sandwich platform teams up with the phone’s interface to deliver an improved UX.
Its front panel accommodates a 4.7-inch WXGA True HD IPS Plus display and a 1.3MP webcam and the flip side houses a 13MP or an 8MP imager. A 2,100mAh battery provides an uninterrupted talk time of close to 15 hours.

The second generation smartphone-tablet hybrid has already been added to wishlists of many and that’s basically why it graces our compilation of Android camera phones. It treats users to Android Jelly Bean and hides a quad core processor that can clock in a speed of 1.6GHz to ensure multitasking on the move.
The handset proudly flaunts a 5.55-inch Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen that renders high definition visuals in 1280 x 720p resolution, an 8MP auto focus shooter and a 1.9MP front-mounted webcam. And similar to its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is packaged along with the S Pen.

Fueled by a 1.5GHz dual core processor, the handset not only facilitates multitasking, but also handles 3D games.
