With every mobile phone brand coming up with one or the other enhanced camera feature in their device, buying the right camera phone is surely a confusing thing for the consumer. So, what are those features that make a camera phone, a smart camera phone?   Does Megapixels Really Matter? Yes, but that doesn’t mean you will have to buy a phone with 12 megapixel camera. Most of us don’t know that we need higher megapixels in case we want to take poster print of photographs. Number of megapixels determines how an image will look when it will be printed in large size. If you will take a large print out of image captured from camera that doesn’t have enough megapixel, result will be a blurred image. Another thing to keep in mind is that editing or cropping images clicked from low megapixel camera will be lead to fuzzy results. Camera phones with fixed focus will not capture quality pictures because the lens will cover anything that will fall in the...

First reported in Apple iPhone 4, "death grip" can muffle the wireless signals of the phone it's held in a certain way (like in landscape mode). Got my hands on HTC Sensation a few days back, and came to know how the phone can actually get a noticeable signal loss even when the Wi-Fi speed is pretty decent. Watching YouTube videos in portrait mode was a smooth experience, but the moment I switched to landscape mode and clicked on a video, all I got was a lot of buffering time. HTC's back cover could be the reason behind death grip. This removable cover is made of metal but there are plastic areas in between to work as antennas for the phone. If your hand by chance covers these plastic pieces, the result  would be a drop in the signal receptivity of the phone. You might face the death grip problem while browsing Internet on Wi-Fi, Bluetooth connectivity or when you are listening to radio. If we keep aside the problem of death grip, Sensation is a good phone. It...
