Here's How Megapixel Does Not Define the Camera Quality in Smartphones

With the competition intensifying in the smartphone industry, brands are now in a race to offer better cameras with higher megapixel count when they unveil their new smartphone models. But when it comes to the camera’s picture quality, more isn't always better. 

The size of the image sensor plays an important role, along with the type of lens, and the megapixel count. That said, squeezing a lot of pixels into a small sensor inside a compact smartphone will not produce great picture quality. 

Thus, over-emphasizing the megapixel count on a particular phone may not always be fruitful. If you are looking to purchase a budget smartphone with exceptional camera quality, we have curated a list of mobiles under 10000 INR that is available in the Indian market today. 

1. Realme C2

The first phone on this list is the Realme C3 smartphone, which is available for Rs. 8,999. This smartphone flaunts a 12MP AI dual camera, with Chroma Boost and Slo-Mo video features. The phone’s portrait lens’ algorithm has also been updated to create beautiful bokeh portrait shots, and the smartphone is available in Red and Electric Blue colour variants. 

2. OPPO A3S

One of the best mobiles under 10,000 INR is the OPPO A3S, which comes with a dual-rear camera setup, along with an 8MP front camera with AI Beauty 2.0 feature, enabling you to take stunning selfies.
