Experts have chosen the best camera phones for New Year's shooting

New Year's holidays – a time for fun, reflection and, of course, creating unforgettable memories. Modern smartphones with their advanced mobile photography capabilities have become a powerful tool for taking stunning photos. GizmoChina has selected the best models for documenting New Year's celebrations, and the first place went to iPhone 16 Pro.

What else is known

iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max topped the list with a powerful 48MP main sensor and Quad-pixel technology, which delivers exceptional image quality with high detail and dynamic range, even in low light. The 48MP ultra-wide-angle camera with autofocus and macro allows you to create creative shots, while the 5x telephoto lens (now available on both Pro models) brings distant fireworks and festive events closer.

Advanced computational photography features, such as the Photonic Engine, ensure great results in any lighting conditions. Support for 4K video recording at 120 frames per second and spatial audio create a cinematic effect that conveys the atmosphere of the holiday. Despite its high price, the iPhone 16 Pro is recognized as the best choice for New Year's photo and video shooting.

Among other worthy competitors noted by GizmoChina, – Oppo Find X8 Pro, which is distinguished by its zoom capabilities and screen quality, Vivo X100 Ultra with an innovative camera and 1-inch Sony LYT-900 sensor, as well as Xiaomi 14 Ultra with a versatile Leica Summilux camera system. Each of these smartphones offers unique capabilities for photo and video shooting, but the iPhone 16 Pro took the leading position in terms of overall characteristics. Vivo X200 Pro with 50-megapixel main sensor and 200-megapixel telephoto lens is also mentioned.
