The debate about whether smartphones can replace dedicated cameras is as old as… Well, the first decent camera phone. Some of us still argue that there’s no way we would switch to phones, while others already have, at least occasionally. And to be honest, it’s becoming harder and harder to figure out which photos have been taken on a camera and which are phone shots.
This is why we decided to make a quiz and ask you if you can tell them apart. Out of these 19 photos, can you tell for sure which ones were shot on a phone and for which I used my DSLR? Answer the questions and let us know how you did!

14/19 correct, but now one with just portraits – so so different! (have to agree, phones are getting better)
Good idea! I had it in mind too, but I rarely shoot portraits (both with phone and with camera) and I used only my own photos. But I may just start for the sakes of the quiz and make another one! :)
Yeah thanks! I sucked at this! LOL! Interesting test. Had you used my sister’s piece of junk Motorola phone, I would have done better 😀 Love my iPhone 13, but don’t love it more than my cameras.
“Motorola phone” :) I remember those
Man, me too… My dad had one. I feel ancient :D
Haha I used an oldish model of Huawei and a slightly newer Xiaomi. :D I’ve switched more to phone lately since it’s way more convenient to carry it everywhere with me and take photos whenever, wherever (read this in Shakira’s voice haha).
But yeah, for more “serious” shoots and for concerts, I also love my camera more. :)
at social media sizes for the images and in good lighting, not much difference
Agreed :)
Why would it matter? Whatever gets the job done. However, some “shot with an iPhone” stories are more like: “Now, that I have a hammer, everything looks like a nail to me.”.
When viewing images that are the size of a thumbnail it is very difficult to tell the difference. If each of these images were shown at size, the difference would be much easier to see.
With small photos they both look good. You can tell if you blow them up to make prints. I’d use whatever I have in hand. But a phone camera can’t replace a good camera.
Managed to get 10 out of 19. For some of them I ended up picking the opposite of what I truly thought, and was wrong. Should have gone with my first gut feeling.
I have an idea. Blow them up or make large prints of them. Then do the test.
