I carry the best camera phones with me every day, but sometimes, a special event provides an opportunity to compare. The New York Botanical Garden in New York City is hosting its annual orchid show, so I brought my favorite camera phones and my own dedicated camera to see how these phones perform.
I used the Apple iPhone 16 Pro, Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, and OnePlus 13 to take hundreds of photos - more than 300 samples each - of the thousands of blooms to see how they managed to capture these perfect spring memories, and the results shocked me!
