Galaxy S21/22/23, if you dont mind shutter lag
Zenfones, if you dont mind 3 times more faulty hardware than other brands, shit software support, bad software optimization, meh camera and bad VFM
Xiaomi 12, if you dont mind MIUI or installing custom ROM
Xperia phones if you dont mind remote control aspect ratio, shit software updates, meh camera and insane price
Pixel 8 if you dont mind waiting, it should be under 70/150mm judging by display size
There is a Samsung addon called Camera Assistant. It integrates with Samsung camera's settings, and allows the photo button to make a photo "on press" (while the default is set to "on release").
Holy hell thank you so much. You jusy solved a problem I didnt even realize I was dealing with. I always felt like my camera was delayed, but I thought it was just how things were on every device.
Here is a tip for the selfie camera, you can set it up so that it will take a Pic if you hold out your hand like a wave(it will do a count down so you will know). Done that multiple times when I can't click because of different reasons. Otherwise I usually just take pics with the side button instead of the on screen button (s21)
Glad to help 🙂
be aware that this option lowers the already low image quality
I am aware of that, but already low quality photo (compared to Pixel/iPhone) has even worse quality with this option.
None of these are small phones...
those are Android phones available in the market, if you want usable smaller new phone then good luck finding one because they dont exist
I migrated from LG G6 to Samsung S22 after really, really, trying to like Pixel 6.
The Pixel was just too big and the camera bar made it top heavy. I hold the phone by the bottom third of the back and it was making my small hands sore. Definitely dropped it on my face while lying in bed.
I don't like the Samsung ecosystem at all, but form factor won out. It's basically my G6 but it runs modern apps. I told the Samsung store to eff off and it works ok without Bixby et al.
