[News](=) [Reviews]( [Best Lists]( [Videos]() [Community]() Dear {NAME}, ​ Today, we are turning the spotlight on the unsung heroes of smartphone photography—the mid-range smartphones priced under $500. Five contenders are stepping into the ring in this showdown. They're budget-friendly, but do they pack a punch when it comes to picture quality? That's what we aim to discover. We have the Apple iPhone SE (2022), Google Pixel 7a, Nothing Phone (1), Samsung Galaxy A54, and Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro+ on the testing bench. They're all great devices, but which truly has the upper hand when it comes to capturing the perfect snapshot? Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to help us crown the champion. We want you, our trusted community, to vote on which smartphone captures the best photos. We look forward to seeing which device you believe deserves the title in the Under $500 Smartphone Camera Showdown. Get ready to scrutinize, compare, and vote!
