Key camera features in 2025 flagship phones
Advanced AI computational photography
- AI is no longer just for image touch-ups; in 2025, it is deeply integrated into the photography process. Features include:
- Scene recognition: AI automatically identifies the subject (e.g., a pet, landscape, food) and optimizes settings for the best result.
- AI-powered night mode: Advanced algorithms blend multiple frames to produce sharp, detailed, and vibrant low-light photos with minimal noise.
- Intelligent editing: On phones like the , AI can suggest the best photo crop, remove unwanted objects, and even expand the scene using generative AI.
Larger and more advanced sensors
- To improve image quality in all conditions, manufacturers are fitting larger, custom-designed sensors.
- : Features a 200MP main sensor that captures exceptional detail, especially when zooming.
- : Uses a second-generation quad-pixel sensor for high-resolution images and improved low-light capture.
- : Boasts a custom 35mm optical system with a large sensor for better light intake and superior low-light performance
- Enhanced zoom with periscope lenses
- Periscope telephoto lenses are becoming standard on premium devices, providing longer optical zoom ranges in a compact form.
- : Includes a dual telephoto system with both 3x and 5x optical zoom lenses, reaching up to 100x Space Zoom.
- : Features a 200MP Zeiss APO super telephoto lens with 85mm equivalent focal length and powerful AI object tracking.
- : Adds a 5x telephoto lens, expanding Apple's zoom capabilities to better compete with its Android rivals.
Professional-grade video features - Flagships are pushing video recording quality to cinematic levels.
- : Introduces 4K 120fps Dolby Vision video recording and improved spatial audio capture. It also supports ProRes and Log recording for professional users.
- : Captures 8K video at 30fps and offers Super Steady 3.0 stabilization for incredibly smooth footage.
- : Offers Video Boost and Night Sight Video for enhanced video quality, even in low light.
Innovative hardware and software combinations
- Companies are combining proprietary hardware and software to maximize camera performance.
- : Uses a dual-core imaging system with dedicated chips (VS1 + V3+) for AI-based noise reduction, enabling detailed night and astrophotography.
- : Features a quad-camera system with Leica co-developed lenses and customizable color profiles (Leica Authentic and Leica Vibrant) for a personalized shooting experience.
