When it comes to the best smartphone cameras on the market, Apple and Samsung rule.

Consumer Reports tested more than 50 of the top smartphones on the market from manufacturers including Google, Apple, LG, Samsung, Hauwei, HTC, and OnePlus. But when it came to the camera, only Apple and Samsung phones cracked the top 10.

Consumer Reports tested phones for both still-image quality and video quality, but noted that there was little difference between all the top-ten phones - in fact, all 10 were rated either very good or excellent overall.

One notable absence from Consumer Reports' list: the Google Pixel 2, which was lauded by critics for its impressive camera.
