We review a lot of phones at Tom's Guide, and that means testing a lot of cameras. And our 200-photo face-offs are a big part of that testing process.
Every phone we review goes through a series of tests, including ones where we try out the cameras in different shooting scenarios. That's because it's nowhere near enough just to rely on the hardware specs to guess how a camera will perform — instead, you have to take a bunch of photos to see for yourself how accurate the cameras are, what kind of colors and tones you can expect from photos, and what kind of photo processing prowess each camera phone offers.
