pls what is the best android phone to use.?

Cell 'phone cameras are NOT "real" cameras. Cell 'phone cameras are an added feature to attract buyers, not serious photographers. They're all OK for snapshots but when you say "Photography," you're talking about a totally different matter.

First, do you have an idea of the difference between a snapshot and a photograph? Snapshot and photography are NOT truly synonymous. Anyone can find and press a shutter button (did you see the famous photo on the Internet of an ape that took it's own selfie?); few can compose, use a selected aperture and shutter speed with a selected ISO, referring to the camera meter and use White Balance control to get a good exposure with great details in the highlights and shadowy areas, that's why they take pride in calling themselves "photographers" as opposed to snap-shooters that rely on a toy to do all the thinking for them.

Let me try to clarify this differently. A cell 'phone snap-shooter does not know how to use a bona fide camera on Manual or Aperture Priority or Shutter Speed Priority... but can probably get along on Full Automatic (where the camera does all the "thinking").

IF you're serious about photography, then get yourself a DSLR, an entry level or mid-range level camera and kit zoom lens, and take a formal, organized Beginners' Photography class. What you learn in a matter of 12-14 hours, usually spread out to one or two weeks, will otherwise take you 7-8 months of trial and error (that's often discouraging and frustrating if you don't know what you're doing) and many, many hours of reading and viewing instructional or tutorial videos. The advantages of taking a formal class are that you learn more in a shorter period of time, you get immediate feedback from the instructor, you learn how to get around difficult lighting situations, camera features, functions and options, and you learn from your mistakes, with aid of the instructor.

Or are you only interested in taking nice snapshots? Well, go to Youtube.com and write in the search engine the device you intend to use; you'll find instructions on how to use it, explanation of its features and limitations and suggestions on how to get better images.

The "best" device to use is one you understand and know how to use. And no matter how much some will shout, "A cell camera is just as good..." well, it simply AIN'T; they fool themselves and misguide you, too.

First, cameras have better lenses and specifically designed, engineered, manufactured and assembled lens elements with superior quality glass; those devices you mention all have cheap and inexpensive wide angle lenses (made with plastic or cheap quality glass) that can often cause distortions (for example, individuals standing too close will seem to have larger noses and larger eye-ridges, and photos of tall buildings, or lampposts will appear to bend toward the center as a result of wide angle perspective).

Also, cameras have lenses that are specifically coated to prevent aberrations (e.g., flare and ghosts) due to light and color problems; cell 'phone cameras do NOT; you decide. Camera lenses are designed to produce clear images, with great color rendition.

You'll probably get better results from a $200-$300 dollar point & shoot camera with a larger sensor, better/stronger image buffer, more pixel count, better battery life and power, better memory card and better lens. ONLY YOU can decide what you want to do, take nice snapshots or create better photographs. Good luck and best wishes.

Any phone will actually do. Just use it to call the nearest camera store to find out the prices of the latest cameras you're interested in.

"... use for photography" is the main thing here. What do you mean by that? If you mean serious photography where you want to be able to have full creative control of the photos or for something like a class, then a phone is not the answer. For such work, you need a real camera. Even the very best cell phone cameras are very poor as concerns giving you CONTROL. Cell phone photos are also very poor in dim light conditions or when you want to have placement control of an outside light source. If by "use for photography" you mean just typical snapshots in "easy" conditions such as plenty of light, then I have no suggestions for you. I use a camera, not a phone, for my photography.

I've got a samsung galaxy 5 and am very impressed with the photos. I'm assuming the later models would be even better.

I think samsung is the best when it comes it androids

Galaxy s8 or s7 edge. Really no major camera difference and s7 edge is cheaper, better display, better battery, and virtually same camera.
