when it comes to smartphone camera quality the megapixel spec seems to dominate the conversation megapixels are determined by multiplying the number of horizontal pixels the cameras capable capturing by the vertical ones for example the iPhone 5s takes 32 64 by 24 48 resolution images that's roughly 8 million pixels or 8 megapixels but just because one camera has more megapixels in another doesn't guarantee higher-quality images the size of the cameras sensor also plays a huge part the larger the sensor the bigger its pixels can be bigger pixels means more light can be captured which eventually leads to more accurate and colorful images and with a larger sensor you can also expect better low-light performance less noise and more dynamic range before light can even reach the sensor to create an image that has to pass through the lens and a good lens can make all the difference in the quality of the picture and its aperture controls how much light actually reaches the sensor list it as an F number in lens specs a larger aperture can lead to better low-light pictures and potentially less motion blur but don't be confused with apertures the lower the F number the larger the actual opening and then you have what happens after the image is captured the actual processing of the picture how well an image is processed really comes down to the manufacturer of the phone bottom line the camera is more than just as megapixels with plenty of other factors from the camera's firmware to how well it handles image processing to the quality of its LED flash that ultimately determine the camera's image quality you
