Cameras are one of the most important buying factors in smartphones these days. While many check the quality of the image, colours, autofocus speed and the video performance, many also take into account the number of megapixels crammed inside one sensor. And the latest trend in the market is 108-megapixel cameras. Yes, this is not new as we have seen this tech in phones last year as well. 

However, the trend seems to be catching up with a whole lot of people as it has trickled down to more ‘affordable' smartphones this year. Brands like Samsung, Xiaomi, Motorola and Realme are already in the game to bring the most valuable smartphones featuring 108-megapixel cameras. 

And if you want to be a part of the 'cult' by buying one of these devices, these should be at the top of your list:
