Best Camera Phones for Video Recording (2020) | Vlogger's Delight

Review round-up of the best smartphones for shooting video in 2020, which is especially important for any wannabe vloggers or directors who want a portable, affordable camera. While the likes of the Pixel 4 sport great optics for capturing photos, I’ve found that only a handful can film fantastic home movies – and here’s my favourite mobiles out of all I’ve reviewed.

Samsung’s flagship mobiles are a solid choice for video. These cameras capture up to 4K resolution movies at 30 or 60 frames per second. Image stabilisation is impressive, audio quality is just as great and you get the likes of live bokeh if you grab the Galaxy S10 5G or Note 10.

Apple is also one of the best out there for video, its iPhone 11 camera offering a choice of standard or wide angle views. Stabilisation is again very impressive, as is the sound pickup. And if you’re not that loaded, try the OnePlus 7T smartphone. This can again shoot 4K 60FPS footage, on a tighter budget.

I love the Cinema Pro mode on the Xperia 5 and 1 from Sony, which delivers total control for a film-like finish. And Asus’ Zenfone 6 impresses with its flippable camera, perfect for vlogging.

What are your own favourite camera phones as we hit 2020 for shooting video? Hit me up below!

    Where did you buy Asus ZenFone in the UK? I’m struggling to find it with reputable websites

    Excellent reviews but could be better if you speak slower. Too fast and confusing. You don’t make a pause to talk about the next phone. By the way, what kind of phone or camera did you use to record your video?



  8. AJ Stosz on July 1, 2021 at 2:15 am

    Awesomeness great stuff thank you



  9. Ferry Sandria on July 1, 2021 at 2:16 am

    S10 and s10+ same quality for video??



  10. sharon nora on July 1, 2021 at 2:16 am

    If I have to do that, I’ll do it again, although it was heartbreaking. It is better now than later. I accept that it is the beginning of the healing. I had an abusive relationship that I hired cryptedhacked@gmail.com to hack into my spouse account and phone I found that he is married and we have been together for 1 year. I’m glad I did that



  11. swamp thing on July 1, 2021 at 2:17 am

    I like s10 s10 plus, Xperia 1 Xperia 5, oneplus 7t, Asus zenfone 6,

  15. Travel with Alan Hill on July 1, 2021 at 2:20 am

    Great video dude, very informative and funny,



  16. Tushar Singh on July 1, 2021 at 2:22 am

    Why does no youtuber understand that all i want is 1080p 60fps with extended dynamic range video (without those jello effects – and other smartphone’s video camera shits)…. which unfortunately is not available literally on any smartphone right now ……Someone suggest me phone which can do 1080p 60fps with extended dynamic range …..

    (oh and i am blind to apple phones because of no right to repair, costly insurance on top of unworthy-priced phones, costly and incompatible accessories, pricing, much more restrictions and less freedom than what i want to have as the owner of the phone)



  17. Trip Two on July 1, 2021 at 2:24 am

    Buy a GoPro



  18. Irene Lick on July 1, 2021 at 2:25 am

  20. Dario Rota Foto on July 1, 2021 at 2:26 am

    Hi. I think it can be useful if you pop out the name of every phone at least once.



  21. Toju Aboderin on July 1, 2021 at 2:26 am

    I have a Samsung note 10 , but for some reasons my finished videos looks like it has a weird white covering on the surface(not clear)



  22. Marcio Pires on July 1, 2021 at 2:28 am

    0:46 Samsung S10
    1:50 Iphone 11
    2:46 Xperia 1 & 5

  23. Zena Matthews on July 1, 2021 at 2:29 am

    S10 is better than S20 Ultra?



  24. Dihelson Mendonca on July 1, 2021 at 2:30 am

    *Why ALL smartphones footage you presented here looks like they were filmed at 14 FPS, like loosing frames, bumpy ? The bus is at one place, then jumps to a near place, there´s no a continuous movement. Why :*



  25. Christa Healey on July 1, 2021 at 2:31 am

    In need of a reliable and genuine hacker, kindly contact cryptedhacked@gmail.com he’s indeed a genuine hacker named Hill Hendrix and highly recommended online.. I was skeptical at first when I read reviews but when I contacted him , he finally got me access to a phone and social media account, which was of good intentions… he’s indeed a professional hacker and one of the best Hackers.



  26. Djilali Ramdane on July 1, 2021 at 2:34 am

    Lovely video content! Forgive me for butting in, I would love your thoughts. Have you thought about – Riddleagan handling camera Remedy (just google it)? It is a good one of a kind guide for making sales videos super fast and make money without the normal expense. Ive heard some great things about it and my cousin at very last got excellent results with it.



  27. Charlotta Bendz on July 1, 2021 at 2:36 am

    We filmed an entire 24 episode Christmas Saga on an iPhone 7+, using Filmic Pro in 4K. Equipment budget was approx. 200 USD. It turned out amazing! English subtitles. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sv3YWj97kpw



  28. Mardana Nanak on July 1, 2021 at 2:36 am

    Not a serious review. No side by side comparisons. No mentions of which phones have any manual control. Waste of time.



  29. Kaming Mag-Ina Vlogs on July 1, 2021 at 2:38 am

    THanks for the information



  30. The Numb Feeling on July 1, 2021 at 2:40 am

    wait a min! is that Aya Wolf in blue dress?



  31. Po Mei Kwong on July 1, 2021 at 2:44 am

    Thanks! Love your accent and way of expressing yourself!
    A great way to create income with so many viewers would be having affiliate links to the products you mentioned. 🙂



  32. Vrinda Kishori Stories on July 1, 2021 at 2:44 am

    I’m confused. Why is the Huawei not on here? I thought they were one of the best if not the best?? Am I wrong?



  33. Slainiae on July 1, 2021 at 2:44 am

    Any chance of a 2021-update to this video?



  34. Shawn Schaller on July 1, 2021 at 2:45 am

    Hey, I’ve watched several of your videos and they’re really helpful as I start my search for a budget phone with the best possible video quality <$300 USD. I’m looking at Motorola Moto G9 Plus v. Xiaomi Redmi Note 9, what are your thoughts?



  35. Matt Lawton on July 1, 2021 at 2:47 am

    Tighter than a nut’s bunghole. Classic



  36. Seth Aaron on July 1, 2021 at 2:54 am

    i have to turn on the subtitle to confirm you are speaking english…



  37. Paintology on July 1, 2021 at 2:55 am

    I just uploaded a video that I shot with the LG G8S ThinQ, you can view it here… https://youtu.be/0R68jh-p4DM
    I initially thought the smartphones could outperform my Canon DSLR SL1, unfortunately not, I retested and the video quality is way superior to the smartphone even though it was shot at 1080p. Let me know what you think.



  38. yehiel dahan on July 1, 2021 at 2:55 am

    Hi, can I ask what was your sound pickup hardware for this clip pleas?



  39. Христо Спасов on July 1, 2021 at 2:56 am

    Wtf, seriosly?!!?! Fix it, try note ultra and mate 40 pro



  40. Andrew 'Wilko' Wilkinson on July 1, 2021 at 2:57 am

    subscribed at ‘poop shoot’ Zappa fan?



  41. Muhammed Sahal on July 1, 2021 at 2:57 am

    How to improve the quality while instagram video uploading* ? ( I’m a OnePlus user )



  42. rollerblading geek on July 1, 2021 at 2:58 am

    thanks for a video of your bald head and face but one was looking for in-camera video footage comparisons. Perhaps I was a little too expectant of a video titled "best camera phones"



  43. Ghadi Elshami on July 1, 2021 at 2:59 am

    Thank you



  44. Kshitij Srivastava on July 1, 2021 at 2:59 am

    Any chances you are planning a 2021 update video?



  45. John Nick on July 1, 2021 at 3:00 am

    Instead of Sony you should have included LG V60. Lg’s Manual mode is unmatched.



  46. Jason Arlaud on July 1, 2021 at 3:00 am

    Made me laugh re young Tik Tokers lol. Thanks for the review



  47. Akshay on July 1, 2021 at 3:01 am

    What’s the gear used for shooting this video?



  48. Leonardo Da Vinci on July 1, 2021 at 3:02 am

    You should do an updated version for 2021!



  49. Dennis Daniels on July 1, 2021 at 3:02 am

    All about the video, what about the audio?Which of these devices supports remote/radio/blue tooth lavaliers?



  50. aishi 001 on July 1, 2021 at 3:05 am

    I recomend all the sony phones are best for camera
