Envirofone’s Top 10 Rated Camera Phones

Smartphone cameras have come a long way, and for most people they’ve quietly replaced point-and-shoot cameras altogether. Whether you’re snapping nights out, travelling, or just taking better everyday photos, the right phone can make a huge difference. Here’s a look at ten camera phones Envirofone customers consistently rate highly, especially when buying refurbished.

1. iPhone 14 Pro

The 48MP main sensor, excellent low-light performance and Apple’s trademark processing make this one a favourite for people who love reliable results. If you prefer sticking with Apple, you can browse all iPhones here.

2. Google Pixel 7

Pixel phones are famous for their photo processing, and the Pixel 7 is no exception. Night Sight and Google’s portrait mode still impress, even compared to newer devices.

3. Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra

Samsung really leans into versatility: strong low-light shots, punchy colours and a brilliant zoom. It’s a great all-rounder if you enjoy taking varied photos.

4. iPhone 13 Pro

Still a fan favourite thanks to its dependable performance and excellent video capabilities. You can often pick one up at a really solid price when buying refurbished.

5. Google Pixel 6 Pro

The Pixel 6 Pro’s camera system delivers sharp detail and a genuinely impressive zoom for its age. Lots of buyers rate it highly because it punches above its price bracket.

6. Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra

Known for its huge zoom range and very clean images, the S21 Ultra is still widely loved. A great pick if you’re upgrading from something older.

7. iPhone 12 Pro Max

Apple users who don’t need the latest model often gravitate towards this one. The bigger sensor and stabilisation make it brilliant in low-light situations.

8. Google Pixel 5

It might be older now, but the Pixel 5 still produces crisp, natural photos thanks to Google’s processing. A perfect budget-friendly camera phone.

9. Samsung Galaxy A54

Affordable, reliable and surprisingly capable. It’s one of those mid-range phones that delivers far more than users expect.

10. iPhone 11

A classic. Despite its age, many people still rate the iPhone 11 for its colour accuracy and super-stable video. If you’re after a bargain, this is often the sweet spot. You can check current stock for it here.

Camera phones change fast, but the good news is you don’t always need the newest model to get brilliant pictures. Refurbished devices often deliver the same results for a fraction of the cost — and with Envirofone’s testing process, you know exactly what you’re getting.

If you’re browsing for your next upgrade, the full range of certified refurbished phones is available here.
