While budget phones with eye-popping camera features are the trend right now, sometimes, the raw power to cater to our social media needs isn’t enough. With that said, upping the budget a little bit to P10k and above will provide you decent hardware along with a better smartphone camera.
The Chinese company continues to deliver on all sides with its latest Huawei Y9 2019. It has quad-camera setup for all your bokeh needs whether it’s portrait or selfie.
Glaze Blue or Dark Green of Oppo A7 2018
Although the Oppo A7 is marketed as a gaming device, it still packs decent camera hardware to use. It features 13MP + 2MP main camera with 4K video recording capability along with a decent 16MP AI-powered selfie camera.
Considered as one of the top 5 midrange phones in late 2018, the Honor 8X is a fan-favorite with its impressive spec list – 20MP + 2MP main camera, 16MP selfie camera, Kirin 710, and 128GB storage.
When the Honor 10 Lite launched, it faced a steep competition against the Honor 8X. But if you’re more into selfies, this midrange phone is a beast with its 24MP selfie lens along with the 13MP + 2MP main camera.
Xiaomi is not the type to sit around and watch other brands dominate its best market segment. With no further ado, the Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite features a 24MP selfie camera, 12MP + 5MP main camera, and a Snapdragon 660 under-the-hood.
While Realme 2 Pro isn’t heavy on the spec sheet, it still delivers balanced hardware for its price with its 16MP + 2MP main camera and 16MP selfie camera.
White Nokia 5.1 Plus
While HMD Global isn’t known for its cheap phones, the Nokia 5.1 Plus is, by far, the only phone that comes with a dual-main camera under this budget segment.
If selfie is the game, the Vivo Y95 offers a more than capable 20MP selfie camera together with a dual-main camera setup.
