Newer phones with fantastic up-close/macro pictures?

[Tengis]

I use my phone to take pictures of products for me website basically ever since I had my OnePlus 7t. have a good digital camera but it is 1000x more convenient to take pictures with my phone... in the same amount of time I can basically finish whatever I am doing while with the camera I have to take pictures, transfer to PC, edit, post/upload, etc.

Ive currently got a Google Pixel 7 but Im really trying to justify the 8 Pro or a OnePlus phone. Optical zoom basically lets me take macro shots really well with good detail.

Thoughts?

Are you stuck to Android? iPhone 14 Pro / 15 pro takes some of the best macro shots, especially in low light.

I havent used an iphone since the iphone 1... while Im not necessarily against it, I really dont have a taste for Apple when it comes to just about anything.

Some research into how they have the best camera , well the pro models no contest might change that. Also if you ever got anymore Apple products like a MacBook, the integration and workflow make doing things like design so much easier.

As far as android, someone else can chime in for recent phones.

I use a jeweler's loupe - any convex lens actually works when placed in front of the camera. May be a little too close! ;-)

iPhone 15 Pro/Max pretty much tied with Pixel 8 Pro, Huawei leads the pack though.

I have the P8P, and my wife has the 15 Pro, and I can confirm that the photos they take are practically identical in every way, from far away to very close close ups to fast action video..... the only REAL difference I notice is that the 15Pro generates slightly larger file sizes, but only by a few Kb/s or so (100 or less), basically insignificant in the overall scheme of things, unless you are micro-uber-mega picky about that kind of thing

Here are some macro shots taken with my S24 Ultra.
The pen tips are 0.5mm. Basic mouse for scale.
