I took 100 cat photos on my Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and actually learned a lot about the camera

I’m not a shutterbug. I don’t often mess with the white balance on my photos, and you’ll rarely catch me switching over to Pro mode in my smartphone’s camera app. I also don’t edit my shots, and I’m not savvy enough (or have the time) to throw photos into Adobe Lightroom to make them magical. As such, I’m heavily reliant upon a camera’s point-and-shoot ability, and for me, that’s the mark of a high-quality smartphone camera. Most users aren’t going to have intimate knowledge of photography. However, they still need a camera that will capture their memories and milestones without them thinking about exposure levels.
