My partner says she wants a new phone … doesn’t care what it is as long as it takes great photos .. so what phone?
She has had a Samsung s21 since new, it was her choice of that phone, my son and I got s21Ultras (now s23Ultras). S21 she picked because of the size. For ages she has complained about it not taking good photos and said her old Sony took better (Sony isn’t sold in here anymore).
So what’s a good choice? She has a Samsung watch (4, I think) and Samsung tablet 10 but honestly she doesn’t care about brand at all. She wants good photos as number one.
Apps, well mainly Google ones .. messages, gmail, maps, YouTube etc and Facebook, messages, WhatsApp.
Photo backups are Google Photos and an app that backs photo to the hard drive plugged into our router (free app, no cloud)
She was talking to a friend and they were both taking the same photos .. the other phone was apple 16 pro max (she said 16 max so I guess it’s 16 pro max as she doesn’t know or care about models or brands) and said it took much better photos than her old one.
I asked if she wanted one like my s23 Ultra … answer ‘I don’t care as long as the camera is good’
Please , what’s a good photo taking phone? She really is point and shoot, will never go into pro settings .. so it’s zoom, portrait and general photo. Video is not very often.
Phones are so expensive , around $2k for pixel 10 max, much the same for iPhone and Samsung s25 ultra. Doesn’t have to be the latest model.
If OP buying for himself, it is one thought. When OP is buying for her significant other, I question ….Is it worth it? I have iPhone 12. And it runs still ok. It takes picture that I am ok with. What do I know anyway?
What sort of picture is OP's wife going to take?
