Click. You’re in the right place at the right time and have just snapped the perfect picture. Maybe it’s a sunset on the beach, or maybe it’s a flawless selfie. But whether you’re planning to share it on social media or just preserve your memories for your own future nostalgia, there’s no denying how fun and fulfilling it is to have a good camera on your smartphone.  

Camera quality matters a lot to most smartphone users. A survey of smartphone owners revealed 86% consider the quality of the camera one of the top five factors in choosing a smartphone, along with storage and battery life. Smartphone cameras have appealing qualities that make them some of the best and easiest digital cameras on the market to use. They’re light and compact as well as snapping and sharing photos with them is easy, and you’re unlikely to forget them when you leave the house.

Refurbished smartphones offer the chance to save hundreds of dollars (sometimes even a grand or more) on a high-quality phone while still being covered under warranty. Considering how important phone cameras are to most users, it probably comes as no surprise that it’s a factor many consider when they’re looking for the best-refurbished phones in Australia.   

Whether you prefer iPhone or Android, it’s easy to find refurbished smartphones that cater to the demand for outstanding cameras, with big-name brands like Apple and Samsung Galaxy consistently pushing the boundaries when it comes to new releases.

Do the cameras on other Android phones measure up to Samsung Galaxy cameras? For all of these questions and more, OzMobiles is happy to help.

Refurbished iPhones with Good Cameras

Fast, easy to use and simple to integrate with the entire Apple ecosystem, there are many reasons iPhones sell in such high volumes. You may have heard good things about iPhone cameras and be wondering about the benefits of the iPhone Pro Max’s photography or if the iPhone 14 Pro camera is worth it. Here are some of the best-refurbished iPhones in Australia and what makes their cameras great:

iPhone 14 Pro Max

With its massive 6.7-inch screen, reviewers have called the iPhone 14 Pro Max’s camera “the best iPhone camera phone to date”. Powered by the A16 Bionic chip, the most powerful chip in any smartphone, it features a 12MP TrueDepth front camera and three rear cameras, including one ultra-wide. That big, generous-sized screen allows you to admire your shots in detail. It will leave you in no doubt about the quality of the iPhone Pro Max model’s photography or the fact that the iPhone 14 Pro camera is worth it.  

iPhone 14 Pro

If you want the best available camera for photography in the smallest possible size, the iPhone 14 Pro is the phone for you. It features a more compact offering with the same camera specs as the Pro Max, including a 48MP camera sensor and a selfie camera with autofocus. The iPhone 14 Pro camera is worth it by itself, but it’s only one of the many qualities that make Apple’s iPhone 14 Pro model great.  

iPhone 13 Pro Max

The older iPhone 13 range still upholds the positive and well-deserved reputation of iPhone Pro Max photography.  A stunning camera with cinematic mode and a 77mm telephoto lens, it lets you admire the photos you take on a striking 6.7-inch screen.
