6 Smartphones with Xenon Flash

What's the difference between an LED and a Xenon flash? Well, without getting technical and specifying what the two are made out of (diodes and gas, among other things), these two types of flashes have their specific advantages and disadvantages. The case for the LED flash is fairly straightforward. First and foremost, an LED flash can be made considerably smaller and cheaper than a Xenon flash. Second, LED flashes are still far superior to their Xenon counterparts when it comes to power consumption – quite important with smartphones – and are also generally more reliable. Insidermonkey experts made a list of 6 smartphones with xenon flash.

That's a lengthy list of pro's for the use of LEDs over Xenon flashes, but it doesn't at all mean that the latter is without advantages, too. Sure, they draw more power and require more space to implement, but in return you're getting a vastly superior illumination in comparison with LEDs – especially handy if you're into low light photography. What's more, Xenon flashes are famous for their ability to "freeze" a moment and prevent blur. You can also read our article on smartphones with wireless charging too.
