The best of mobiles with xenon flash camera

In today's time, when people want to carry their world with them, camera performance for any smartphone is one of the critical focus areas. Bearing this in mind, companies too have been packing in higher megapixels lenses in their smartphones.All in all, one cannot rule out the importance of smartphone cameras in our day-to-day life. 

As most people know, smartphone with Xenon flash provides brighter and faster flash than dual LEDs which are popular for phones. As the megapixel race continue from 8Mp to 12Mp or  higher in mobile phone camera, light intensity demand will continue to grow. Only Xenon flash light delivers super high intensity light to reach longer distance, short burst of light to freeze motion for sharp crisp picture and close to sunlight color for its natural tone. Various Xenon flash features also improve the night and indoor photography experience.

Here's our list of top 5 camera phones with the best camera experience with Xenon Flash in the market. 

1. Nokia 808 Pureview - Released 2012
Nokia's latest Symbian device had made a big splash at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2012, and rightly so for packing in a 41 MP sensor camera with Carl Zeiss lens. The company claims that it took them a full five years to develop this technology and their efforts are quite evident from the image quality that Nokia PureView is capable of delivering. Zooming on clicked images on this smartphone is quite breezy as all one has to do is slide their finger up along the frame to the element one wishes to focus on. This smartphone is also capable of capturing videos in Full HD 1080p videos at 30fps. For all those who are serious about photography and want their images to have no jerks at all, Nokia is also selling an optional tripod mount adapter.

2. Nokia N8 - Released 2010
Till the time Nokia had not announced its much talked about PureView 808, the Nokia N8 enjoyed the title of being the best camera smartphone from the stable of this Finnish handset giant. Though the title is no longer with this handset, it still makes it to our list of top six camera smartphones that are available in the market. Nokia N8 packs in a 12MP autofocus lens with Carl Zeiss optics and xenon flash. It has a 1/1.83-inch image sensor and the images that are captured through this smartphone are quite crisp. However, the flash on board is not the best one would find on a camera smartphone.The Nokia N8 is capable of recording videos in 1280 x 720 resolution at 25fps.

3. Samsung Pixon12 M891 -Released 2009

Samsung Pixon12 M8910 is by far probably the best camera phone on the market – hands down. It packs some improvements in hardware and software over the original to really make this a worthy successor. With such robust offerings like a stellar camera quality, quick interface and a gorgeous screen, the Pixon12 has everything going the right way. We are confident to say that this will leave a mark on just about anyone who uses it. One of the best things about it is that it combines two handy products into just one that has an overall pocketable form factor. We're not going to say that it will replace high-end digital SLRs, but point and shoot cameras will have to bow down and hail the Samsung Pixon12 as their equal.

4. Nokia N82 - Released 2007
 The N82 is an update and refit of the European model of the N95, 2007's Editors' Choice smartphone, which does practically everything, including supporting Wi-Fi and GPS and integrating a 5-megapixel camera.What stands out is the way the N82 handles media, whether recording or playing back video or photos. On the back of the phone, there's a 5MP camera with a Carl Zeiss lens and true autofocus (but no optical zoom), protected by a lens cover. The N82's xenon flash revolutionizes indoor photo capture on camera phones. It's the first camera-phone flash I've tested that's worthy of the name, and lets you take good photos indoors even of moving objects. 

5. Sony Ericsson Satio - Released 2009
The Sony Ericsson Satio rocks a 12.1-megapixel camera with advanced editing options and video recording. The Symbian-based phone offers 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and full e-mail support. The Walkman-style music player is also a nice bonus.The Satio's piece de resistance, however, is its12.1-megapixel camera. It's probably one of, if not the, highest megapixel cameras we've seen on a phone, and it's got a load of editing options to boot. Not only do you get a Xenon and LED flash, 16x digital zoom, and autofocus, you also get five shooting modes, including panorama and BestPic (takes nine pictures in 1 second), face and smile detection, red-eye reduction, exposure settings, and image stabilization, just to name a few. In addition, the Satio's camera can record VGA video at 30 frames per second.
