camera phone
Smartphone's imaging feature
A camera phone is a mobile phone with a built-in camera, allowing users to take photographs and often video.
The term emerged in the early 2000s when phone cameras were a novelty; now virtually all smartphones include cameras, making the distinction largely obsolete.
Back when camera phones were new, the image quality was terrible.
