    Still a shame that the emphasis continues to be so much on iPhone photography, while Huawei, Google and Samsung, for example, are now putting cameras in their smartphones that are at least as good. The new Samsung Galaxy S9+ received the highest DxO score ever for smartphones this week, and the camera of Google's Pixel 2 also scores better than the iPhone X.

    @R K; I think it's a popular phone among photographers. You're also welcome to write an article about tips for a Samsung or another Android phone. We'd be happy to publish it. vrolijk

    @Elja: in previous articles I wrote for Photofacts, I myself deliberately mentioned as many possible Android alternatives as possible, for example when it was about specific iOS apps.

    In the above case, the title could just as well be "How to take better photos with your smartphone". The fact that the maker of the video happens to use an iPhone is not really relevant here.

    By the way: I decided for myself not to write any more articles about mobile photography, because I noticed that Photofacts readers aren't interested in it. But that's another story.

    I’ve adjusted the title. vrolijk

    I think more and more photographers are realizing that you can also take beautiful photos with a smartphone, so who knows, maybe these articles will become more interesting for Photofacts visitors again.
