We asked, you told us: AA readers prefer camera quality over quantity
June 19, 2025
Just about every smartphone maker has a different approach to photography. Depending on who makes your smartphone, you might have access to a super versatile multi-camera setup, a single lens that takes fantastic photos, or somewhere in between. But what’s thebestcamera setup?
Last week,I asked youto choose between two options: a single camera that takes great photos but isn’t very versatile, or a triple-camera setup that’s more versatile but doesn’t take great photos. The results are in, and there’s a clear winner.

Would you prefer one great rear lens or a versatile triple-lens setup?
Out of nearly 3,000 total votes across the website andTwitter, 74.31% ofAndroid Authorityreaders said they would prefer a single camera that can take great photos. Say what you will about the Pixel line’s lack of shooting options, but their ability to take solid photos with minimal effort has proven popular with smartphone enthusiasts as well as a more general audience.
Just 25.69% of voters said they’d rather choose a more versatile setup. I can’t say I blame this group for voting this way. Whenever I switch over to a Samsung phone, I get a little obsessed with wide-angle and periscope photos.
