Discover the cell phones with the best editing tools

In an environment where content creation has become a key source of income and visibility, having a phone that allows you to record and edit video directly from the device is increasingly valued.

According to a recent report by Noticias Caracol, several high-end and mid-range models already offer built-in tools advanced enough to replace popular apps like CapCut or InShot.

Below are five phones that stand out for their built-in video and audio editing capabilities:

This device features Samsung Studio , which allows you to cut clips, join videos, adjust speed, and apply filters. It also offers audio editing with noise reduction and automatic syncing, as well as 8K recording with AI stabilization.

Using the S Pen facilitates precise frame-by-frame editing, making it a solid choice for professional editing right on your phone.

The Apple model comes with iMovie and Clips pre-installed, offering templates and effects ready for social media. It stands out for its ability to record in ProRes format and Cinematic Mode, with synchronized and clean audio editing.

Its performance is backed by the powerful A17 Pro chip, allowing for a stable and smooth experience.

This device includes a Google Photos editor with features such as color enhancement, stabilization, and blurring. It also features the Audio Magic Eraser tool, which removes background noise, and allows for 4K HDR recording with artificial intelligence applied to both image and audio. It also offers cloud storage for backup.

With a gallery editor that includes effects, cuts, transitions, and music, this phone features an automatic vlog mode with templates designed for social media. It also offers multi-track audio editing. Its main attraction is its high-end features at a competitive price.

Designed specifically for audiovisual creators, this model features the Cinema Pro and Video Pro applications, allowing for professional recording and editing with manual control of audio, gain, and compression. It also incorporates ZEISS lenses, renowned for their cinematic quality.

Opting for a phone with built-in editing features has clear benefits for content creators: avoiding third-party app subscriptions, saving time by being able to edit directly on the device, and achieving professional quality with 4K or higher recording options and advanced color and audio editing.

On platforms like TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube Shorts, where speed and visual quality are crucial to standing out, having a complete and self-sufficient team is a strategic tool.

These five models represent an effective option for those looking to produce high-quality content without the need for additional equipment.

However, in parallel with this advancement in smartphones, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, recently outlined a radically different scenario for the next decade.

In a statement that has sparked widespread debate in the tech industry, Zuckerberg said that cell phones will be replaced by smart glasses within ten years.

In his words, smartphones have reached a point of stagnation in their technical evolution: “Cellphones are small, they distract you, and they distance you from face-to-face interactions.”

In contrast, he explained that augmented reality glasses will offer a more fluid and less intrusive digital experience by superimposing virtual elements directly onto the physical environment.
