What the camera score doesn’t measure
It reads the spec sheet, not the photo.
The camera score adds up what the spec sheet lists: megapixels, how many rear lenses, optical zoom and the front camera. It doesn’t measure image processing, night photos or the stabilizer when the spec sheet doesn’t say. Two cell phones with the same score can take very different photos: look at sample photos from the model before buying.

Frequently asked questions
What’s the best cell phone for photos up to $680.00?
Today the catalog doesn’t have enough camera data in this range.
Do more megapixels mean a better photo?
Not by themselves. Lenses, optical zoom and processing count just as much. That’s why the Radar camera score adds up several items from the spec sheet and tells you what it doesn’t measure.

Where the numbers come from
Included are the cell phones in the day’s catalog priced up to $680.00 (the lowest from a trusted seller across versions). The order is the spec sheet camera score (0 to 10), the same as on each phone’s page; ties go to the cheaper one.
The guide helps you decide and doesn’t recommend a phone for you: the final price is the one at the store, and the spec score doesn’t measure real-world photos or durability.
