Many Spaniards are already in the middle of their summer holidays and have in their hands the best tool to enjoy them and remember them forever: their mobile phone. Modern smartphones not only have applications like Google Maps to avoid traffic jams in summer, but they also have high-quality cameras that allow us to take snapshots that until recently were only possible with a professional camera.
In fact, one of the things that most holidaymakers do is take photos, especially portraits or “selfies”. This is one of the conclusions of the latest study published by HONOR, the smartphone manufacturer, which also revealed the preferences of the Spanish during the summer holidays.
Specifically, more than 45% of Spaniards who participated in the HONOR study said that the type of photography they take most in summer is portraits of themselves on the beachThese are special moments, and 60% say they take more portraits during this time to properly document them and remember them later.
But special moments don’t just happen; having a good background is always useful, and in this case, the beaches that received the most votes in the study leave no doubt: Canary Islands are the favorite place take a photo on the beach, for 21.2% of respondents. Next come the Cantabrian coast and the Balearic Islands.
Interestingly, the answers change a lot if you’re looking for a good place to take pictures at sunset. This is not a random question, since HONOR claims that it is one of the most photographed moments in Europe. In this case, The Calas de Menorca win by a wide margin with 31.1% of responses
Interestingly, for the Spanish, beaches are the favorite for taking summer photos, and despite this, the second option is the Picos de Europa mountains, with 27.3% of the responses.
To take a good souvenir photo, certain conditions are necessary. For the majority of respondents, 42.6%, the big problem is that the majority of tourist places they are saturated; although poor lighting is also partly to blame.

The mobile phone we carry can have a considerable weight when it comes to taking a good holiday photo. Factors such as storage were highlighted by respondents, and image quality This is, with 68.6%, the main aspect appreciated by the Spanish on a mobile phone.
Obviously, to do this, it is necessary to have a mobile phone with good cameras, both on the back and on the front; This is where HONOR comes in, having carried out this study to promote the new HONOR 200 Pro, which we recently hailed as the best mobile for portrait photography. The key lies not only in the lenses, but also in the use of the HONOR AI portrait engine, which enhances photos with natural “bokeh” effects.
