1/5 The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is our favourite! Samsung’s colour tuning is amazing and its 108MP camera can do wonders at night. The 10X optical zoom camera is great for photographers, and the video recording performance is impressive. Even portrait photos have great bokeh effects and subject cutout, both from its front and rear camera sensors. Great deal on Amazon right now: Rs. 99,999 for the base 256GB model.

The macro mode is great and the 3X zoom is impressive too. If you care for videos, the iPhone impresses with its unmatched dynamic range and great noise suppression. Starting at Rs. 129,900 for the 128GB iPhone 14 Pro, there aren’t many overall camera packages as great as the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max. (Amritanshu / HT Tech)

3/5 At Rs. 49,999, the iQOO 9T is a good deal for those who want good cameras and reliable performance. It impresses at night and offers brightly lit and saturated photos during the day. The iQOO 9T also offers a 2x zoom portrait camera for good portrait photos. The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip and the V1+ chip keep the phone cool and help with image processing. (Amritanshu / HT Tech)

4/5 The Google Pixel 7 Pro comes to India at a price of Rs. 84,999 and is a superb phone for photographers. It has impressed us with its colour tones and great exposure management. It even beats the iPhone with its skin tones and superb Night Sight photos. The 5X optical telephoto camera helps while zooming , and Google’s AI and ML algorithms can enhance the photos to offer a highly desirable effect. (Amritanshu / HT Tech)

5/5 The Xiaomi 12 Pro, which is the company’s flagship in India, at Rs. 54,999 is another great camera smartphone you can buy. With a triplet of three 50MP cameras at the back, the Xiaomi 12 Pro offers bright and colour boosted photos in most lighting situations. The 50MP zoom camera is of great help while taking portraits, and Xiaomi’s various camera modes are fun to play with as well. (Amritanshu / HT Tech)

Apple Inc is cutting production of iPhone 14 Plus within weeks of starting shipments as it re-evaluates demand for the mid-range model, the Information report.d on Tuesday, citing two people involved in the company's supply chain.

The Cupertino, California-based company told at least one manufacturer in China to immediately halt production of iPhone 14 Plus components, according to the report.

The move comes at a time when the global smartphone market has been softening, shrinking 9% in the third quarter compared with the same period a year earlier, according to estimates from data research firm Canalys, which expects weak demand over the next six to nine months.

Apple did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

The iPhone 14 Plus, part of a new lineup announced on Sept. 7, is positioned as a cheaper alternative to its more expensive iPhone Pro models and started being shipped to customers on Oct. 7.

Last month, Apple dropped its plan to increase production of the new iPhone models as an anticipated surge in demand failed to materialize, according to a Bloomberg News report.
