Unfortunately, the latest camera technologies are always found in the current flagship smartphones. So if you don’t have 1,000 to 1,500 euros to spare for a new cell phone, you’ll have to put up with potato cams – or will you? The mobile phone provider o2 offers the current photo wonders of the mobile phone world in attractive contracts. We present you the best options.
No feature is as popular on current smartphones as high-quality cameras. Our list of the best camera smartphones is visited just as often as our biannual camera blind test. If you fell in love with a smartphone in the two articles, you may have to dig deep into your pocket. The photo wonders of 2022 are called iPhone 13 Pro Max, Galaxy S22 Ultra and Google Pixel 6 Pro!
Straight to the best camera phone at o2
Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max – the overall winner of our blind camera test
In this article, we will introduce you to the three most popular camera phones in the NextPit community in a contract with o2. In doing so, we focus on the contract that we think you should at least choose with o2: the o2 Free M with 20 gigabytes of data volume and 5G included. A short note: o2 gives us a small expense allowance for this article. This has no influence on the editorial opinion of NextPit.
Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max from 1 euro additional payment
Let’s start with the winner of our last camera blind test: The iPhone 13 Pro Max, which won the most votes in the blind test. Means the NextPit community liked the photos of the classy iPhone the best without knowing that it was the iPhone 13 Pro Max. The mobile phone is available from o2 for a deposit of just one euro. The monthly costs are summarized in the table below:

We haven’t tested the Galaxy S22 Ultra yet, you can only find a hands-on from the Unpacked event on NextPit. But we can already see from the previous model, the S21 Ultra, that the quality of the photos is right. With a 108-megapixel main camera, an ultra wide-angle camera and two telephoto cameras, Samsung repeatedly gets top marks for its ultra models.
Google Pixel 6 Pro – the cheapest option
The cheapest camera flagship in the still young year 2022 is the Google Pixel 6 Pro. The cell phone started at a recommended retail price of 899 euros and is therefore almost 350 euros cheaper than the alternatives in this article. Accordingly, the contracts with o2 are a little cheaper.

The highlight of the Pixel 6 Pro: Google’s powerful software that gets the most out of the cell phone’s sensor data. But the Pixel 6 Pro also has a triple camera with an ultra wide-angle camera and a telephoto camera. More information and numerous example images can be found in Camila’s test report on the Pixel 6 Pro.
The “Tag Nix” at o2
If you buy an expensive mobile phone from o2, you are also protected by the “Tag Nix”. This is how o2 describes the reduction in contract costs after 24 months. So you pay a surcharge for your mobile phone for 24 months and then only pay the conditions of the chosen contract. Of course you can also cancel and switch, the tag nothing is basically a safeguard.
As further advantages at o2 you can expect bonus payments when you take your number with you, one of the best networks in Germany, which was rated “very good” by the colleagues at Connect and o2 will also be canceling the connection fee in February 2022.
