Five Best Budget Smartphone Cameras



1. Lenovo Zuk Z1 (13,499)
The Lenovo Zuk Z1 has an 8-megapixel front camera and a 13-megapixel rear camera. In our review, we were pleased with the camera's ability to take sharp and detailed pictures and we were satisfied with the low noise and grain in pictures taken in low light. The rear camera features 60fps video recording and both cameras can record video at up to 1080p, making this a good camera for photos and video. It features optical image stabilisation and dual-LED flash. 

2. Asus Zenfone Max (2016) (8,999)
Asus Zenfone Max (2016) costs less than Rs. 10,000, and its cameras are among the best even compared to more expensive smartphones in the under-Rs. 15,000 category. It has a 13-megapixel camera at the back, a 5-megapixel shooter on the front, dual-tone LED flash, and laser autofocus. Its cameras are capable of recording video at up to 1080p-30fps. We praised this phone's camera in our review, with special mention for how good it is at taking macro shots.

3. Moto G4 Plus (13,499)
Moto G4 Plus is a great phone overall but from a photography standpoint it has some room for improvement. While the phone has a 16-megapixel shooter with f/2.0 aperture and Phase Detection Autofocus (PDAF), its performance in low light wasn't the best. However, as we noted in our review, the camera is great in daylight. We felt it records good quality video at 1080p in both daylight and low light and were pleased with its 5-megapixel front camera too. So, while it isn't the best camera under Rs. 15,000, it's in the top five, and the phone is a good one too.

4. Lenovo Vibe S1 (12,999)
Lenovo Vibe S1 has a 13-megapixel rear camera with dual-tone LED flash, and a dual-camera setup in the front. One of its front cameras has an 8-megapixel sensor while the other has a 2-megapixel sensor and detects depth-of-field. Both cameras can record full-HD video. In our review, we noted that the phone is capable of taking crisp photos in all lighting conditions. After a recent price cut, the Vibe S1 has become one of the best camera phones under Rs. 15,000.

5. Xiaomi Redmi Note 3s (8,999)
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 3s is one of the best phones under Rs. 10,000 but it has a better variant priced at Rs. 8,999 with 3GB RAM and 32GB storage - the one we recommend if your budget is under Rs. 15,000. The Redmi Note 3s has a 13-megapixel rear camera with a wide f/2.0 aperture. In our review, we noted that the phone's camera has good colour reproduction but objects weren't very sharp under low-light conditions. Its rear camera can record 1080p video.
