There are many interesting smartphones on the market today with top-end specifications, but for a rather modest price. Evgeny Kharitonov, editor-in-chief of Ferra.ru, named three smartphones that can compete with the iPhone 15 Pro Max cameras, but at the same time will cost buyers much less.

1. Google Pixel 7 Pro

The first on the list is the Pixel 7 Pro, a flagship from Google, released in the fall of 2022. Kharitonov notes that in terms of photo and video quality, this model is not much inferior to the iPhone 15 Pro Max, despite its age.

However, the device has its drawbacks: the basic version offers only 128 GB of memory, and battery life leaves much to be desired.

2. Huawei P60 and P60 Pro

Next in the selection are the Huawei P60 and its improved version P60 Pro, presented in the spring of 2023. The smartphones stand out for their outstanding photo quality, although their video shooting is inferior to the iPhone.

The main difference between the models is the telephoto lens:

  • The P60 Pro offers 3x optical zoom.
  • The P60 has a sensor with 5x zoom.

3. Huawei Pura 70

Completing the selection is the Huawei Pura 70, released in early 2024. This compact smartphone with a 6.6-inch display and three cameras (main, ultra-wide-angle and telephoto with 5x zoom) offers similar shooting capabilities as the iPhone 15 Pro Max or even the iPhone 16 Pro.

The price of all three smartphones may vary depending on the country you are in. But they are all definitely much cheaper than the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
