Looking for an Android phone with good camera

Hi to all

I would like to get a new Android phone with excellent camera with large aperture and perform well under low light condition in some fancy restaurants with out turning on flash.

Budget is between $ 300 to 550.

Please kindly advise.

LG G4

Nexus 5X

Nexus 6P

Galaxy S6 - but only if you can live with really shitty battery life.

I have an S6, turned off facebook right away and it lasts a day with my use and 30% left over. Turned off the Samsung battery app too.

not sure about you but i couldnt get more than 2hr30min screen on time out of mine with a full charge. nothing but rainbows and sunshine now with the nexus 6p.

OP, i'm not sure about the issues you speak of with the G4. just google around and make your own decision.

LG G4

Best camera front and back. Removable battery/sim/sd card. OEM quick charger. FREE with contract (Bell). 0 issue.

OEM Battery is fucking beast.

Yep.

If you want the Google updates and developer support, Nexus 5X. 32GB model for $500 taxes in is a great price.

Otherwise, the LG G4.

The camera on the 6p is amazing. Only thing I miss on it is ImageStabilizer

G4 hands down

i only wish my Z5 has OIS/RAW/full manual...oh well that's what a dedicated camera is for.

I am a LG G4 owner, agreed to what the above have mentioned.

except no unlocked bootloader yet, no finger senor, no wireless charging, cheap paint on the edge which means it will start chipping without a case.

Other good camera choice is Asus Zenfone Zoom

Unless you need the manual options that come with G4, Sony Z5 has the best camera/sensor combo in this gen of smartphones.

widspread defective z5 cameras out there (left side blur)...I wouldn't recommend it if mobile photos is important. Luckily mine's OK.

the near instant-AF is also hampered by slow software...takes seconds just to open up the app and so does reviewing photos. SCN (various night mode is needed for lowlight) is also not available at 23MP...only in 8MP oversampling mode.

I'm no camera expert but the Nexus 6P's camera has been really good in low light settings for me. Slightly out of your budget, but for the extra money the phone is much better than the LG G4 in many aspects.

I find that Samsung cameras tend to review better but LG gets more reliable shots in the field.
