Smartphone Camera Shootout: Samsung Galaxy A5 VS Samsung Galaxy A7 VS ASUS Zenfone 3 VS OPPO F1s

A smartphone camera shootout between 4 of the most notable mid-range smartphones of 2016.

When we wanted to photos in the past, we always had a camera of some kind with us. Be it a compact camera or a full-sized DSLR, we just needed it because it wouldn’t be possible otherwise. Soon enough, smartphones began to have cameras built in them. Of course, it wasn’t great at taking pictures initially but soon enough, we saw some good images produced by our very own smartphones.

There was always this misconception that to have a smartphone with a good camera, you have to buy something high end or from some notable brand but that’s not always the case. You don’t have to break your bank account to get a smartphone with a good camera and that’s what we’re going to show you today.

We will be pitting 4 mid-range smartphones against each other in a camera shootout and it will be between the Samsung Galaxy A5, Samsung Galaxy A7, ASUS Zenfone 3, and the OPPO F1s. Here’s a brief look into each smartphone.
