The first smartphones weren’t the photography behemoths that today’s flagship devices have become. Back then, if you cared about image quality, you had to lug around a dedicated camera alongside your smartphone. Not anymore. Just about any smartphone today will deliver decent images, and some, like the Google Pixel 6 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S22 series, perform well in even the most challenging scenarios. But while computational photography often receives all the attention, larger image sensors deserve just as much credit.

New flagship smartphones get released every year, but we thought that buying an older phone such as last year’s flagship makes more sense than ever before.
It’s easy to see why, as performance is still great on many older devices and several brands offer long-term update support. But are readers open to buying an older phone though? That’s a question we posed, and here’s how you answered it.
TL;DR
OnePlus has tweaked the behavior of the OnePlus 8 Pro color filter camera. The phone now combines data from the special camera and main camera. The effect isn’t as strong in mixed lighting though. The OnePlus 8 Pro’s color filter camera is one of the more gimmicky features we’ve seen in recent times, shooting low-resolution images with grey and copper colors.
Now, OnePlus has told Android Authority that this isn’t actually the case and it’s still using the color filter camera to create these effects.
In the past year or so, we have seen new flagship smartphones come on the market with 6 GB, and even 8 GB, of RAM inside. However, for the vast majority of handset owners, phones with 4GB RAM should be more than enough to not only handle all of your apps, but offer solid performance for them as well.
Best of all, these phones typically cost much less than the current flagships that may have more memory, but offer little in the way of better performance overall.

Smart home privacy is a tough balancing act. While apps, devices, and cloud services all need a base level of user data to function and improve, tech firms are sometimes caught collecting more than they really need. That can pose risks if the data is stolen by hackers, shared with authoritarian governments, or sold to marketers that don’t mind harassing you. Some people simply object to anyone having a glimpse into their habits.
