Hi Everybody!
Welcome to BestUnder.in and today we bring you the Best Dual Camera Phones under 20000
Rupees.
Initially we thought of Ranking the phones according to their dual camera performance
but we ended up finding that each of these phone cameras excelled in one or the other
department and hence an overall ranking conclusion was impossible.
It's completely up to you to decide what you want from your Dual camera setup and which
ones the most apt for you!
So, without further ado Lets start the listing in increasing order of their prices
The first unbeatable pick on our list is the Xiaomi Mi A1 priced at around 15000 rupees.
This phone brings a dual camera setup on the lines of iPhone7 and OnePlus 5 with a 12MP
regular wide-angle and 12MP telephoto lenses.
Both combine to shoot photos with DSLR-like real bokeh effects.
The primary rear sensor uses large 1.25µm pixels, has a focal length of 26mm and a F2.2
aperture while the secondary telephoto sensor uses 1µm pixel size, has 50mm focal length
for 2x lossless optical zoom and a F2.6 aperture.
If you are a person who shoots lots of outdoor pics in daylight conditions then this phone
is just the right grab for you.
As promised this is the Best Bokeh capturer under 20K range and also the 2x optical zoom
works very well without any noise.
But if you shoot indoors or in low light conditions then this phone will disappoint you with lots
of noise and poor edges even in Portrait mode.
Regarding video, the Mi A1 does produce good colors and dynamic range but the lack of any
kind of stabilization makes the focus to hunt and the video to be very shaky.
To click best photos, you will have to use the Mi A1 in bright daylight.
Anything less, and its performance goes down.
Next on the list we have the Honor 8 from the previous year which was launched at around
30K but is now available for 16000 rupees.
The Honor 8 has two 12MP cameras with f/2.2 apertures for slightly better composite shots.
Both the cameras have a pixel size of 1.25 μm.
There’s also a laser module for laser auto focus, which is utilized in synchrony with
contrast detection and hence improving the Honor 8’s auto-focus speed.
Being a camera centric phone Honor 8 had one of the best cameras in its range last year
and even today it has a very good dual camera setup that takes very good pictures.
In fact, if only still shots are to be considered then Honor 8 has the best camera under 20K.
The color reproduction and dynamic range is excellent and while taking macro shots you
can adjust the aperture which is really handy.
The low light and indoor performance is also the best among all the four phones mentioned
in this video.
The place where it lacks is while taking Bokeh shots where it sometimes doesn’t recognize
the edges perfectly.
Talking about the video Recording, the Honor 8 disappoints with underexposed video and
lack of colors when comparing to the still images.
Auto-focus transition is smooth but the lack of OIS results in a bit shaky video.
So, if you are a person who takes mostly normal shots or wants aperture control while Bokeh
Effects or shoots mostly indoors or in low light, then this phone is up for grabs!
Next up, at the same price we have a similar dual camera setup but this time from Motorola,
the Moto G5S Plus at 16000 rupees.
The G5S Plus uses two 13-megapixel rear cameras, with a lens aperture of f/2.0.
One sensor shoots in color while the other one shoots in monochrome for better image
quality in low light conditions.
Again, the dual cameras are used here for background blurring.
Additionally, The Moto G5S offers phase detection auto-focus and depth editing software.
Regarding performance the Moto G5s Plus doesn’t disappoint especially during daylight conditions.
The colors are sometimes a tad bit over-saturated making the pictures unusable but for the most
part the shots are very good.
The low light performance is also good, in fact better than the Mi A1.
The depth effect shots are also good but sometimes the edges are not detected properly.
Also there’s an option to change the background of the Bokeh shots which is really handy.
The one big problem with the Lenovo Moto G5S Plus camera is that it suffers from significant
shutter lag.
There’s a bit of a delay between pressing the shutter button and the shot being captured
and being able to take another.
Regarding video the Moto G5S Plus takes great videos even in dimly lit conditions and has
Electronic Image stabilization that only works at 1080P at 30FPS.
So, if videography in good lighting condition or playing with depth effect output is your
thing then Moto G5S plus should be your pick.
Last but certainly not the least, at 18000 rupees we have the recently launched Honor
9i.
The Honor 9i’s key feature is the dual camera set-up on both sides.
The front panel includes a 13-megapixel and 2-megapixel camera, while the back packs a
16-megapixel and 2-megapixel camera.
The additional 2MP sensors on both front and rear capture depth data to produce images
with the "Bokeh" effect.
Additionally, there are many functions like the Gesture Selfies and smart selfie toning
flash etc.
For still photography the Honor 9i is a good contender and takes great pictures with sufficient
details.
The Bokeh mode with the rear cameras is also good but it does not rival the Mi A1.
Regarding videos the Honor 9i’s quality is good but the lack of stabilization just
renders the video unusable.
For videos this just isn’t the right gadget.
The place where Honor 9i actually shines is the selfie department where you can even do
bokeh shots.
The picture quality comes out to be very good and undoubtedly this is the Best selfie phone
under 20K.
So, for selfies and stills this is the choice to make.
So, these were the Best Dual camera phones under 20000 respective with their respective
powers and weaknesses.
If Portrait mode is your sauce then go for
Mi A1 but Low light photography is what you should avoid with this phone
If still photography and low light performance is what you desire then go with the Honor
8 but refrain from Videography.
This just isn’t the best choice for it.
Next if videography or low light performance is what you desire, go with the Moto G5S plus
but shutter lag will annoy you, so be patient.
Lastly if great selfies with bokeh are your thing then Honor 9i is the phone you should
pick but videography or Bokeh from rear cameras is not in par with competitors.
Please Don’t get me wrong none of these phone cameras are drastically bad from one
another.
In Fact, the difference is very minimal and justified for the price!
But buying according to your needs will make you happy and that is the very reason we made
this video.
So, hope you like the video!
