Phones: Five affordable models with a good camera to give as a gift for Father’s Day

The new strategy of mobile sector is to produce equipment with a predominant function. While some favor screens, others come with a super battery or incorporate exclusive accessories. A few hours before Father’s Day, five camera phones superior category and they cost less than 100 thousand pesos.

And while it’s true that a low-end mobile won’t offer the best photographic experience, there’s no need to resort to ultra models either. In the intermediate zone there are cell phones that stand out, both to be made good photos like in video recording.

The three-chamber module – depending on the consultation TrendForce– represents over 40% of shipments this year. While some are starting to adopt four to differentiate themselves from rivals, those with two cameras are relegated to the most basic.

According to the experts’ view, the lenses, the software, the sensor size and the aperture are among the key aspects. This question is answered by the new Motorola Edge 30, Samsung Galaxy A53 5G, Xiaomi 11 T PRO, Realme GT 2 Pro and TCL 20SE.

Motorola Edge 30

The trend in this category is to combine lenses with different focal lengths, not only to achieve good results but also to offer a greater variety of approaches.

This composition opened the doors to the professional world of night photography, background blur, face detection and the ability to make small details at very short distances (macro).

The three most used rooms are the so-called main, depth and wide angle. And although many times, through software they can work together, each is intended for a type of photography.

The main one is the one that the mobile phone uses by default for instant photos. The incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) allows you to recognize scenes and apply automatic adjustments. The depth one works together with the main one and generates a blur effect (bokeh) in the background.

The main purpose of a wide angle lens is to achieve – between 60 and 120 degrees – a greater depth of field, which is the area in front of the camera that appears in focus. The idea is to widen the viewing angle.

The Motorola edge 30, unveiled on Thursday, incorporates a triple camera system, which includes a 50MP ultra wide angle (UGA) that allows you to capture macro photos, a high resolution of 50MP and a depth sensor.

In addition, it brings a 32 MP front, to capture the best selfies. Record HDR10 video with over a billion shades of color. sold to 89,999 pesos.

Samsung Galaxy A53 5G

Each phone is configured to frame, shoot and post, without worrying about the technical details. is the apparatus that makes all decisions: from lighting, exposure, white balance, shutter speed, image processing, tone mapping, and contrast.

It may also happen that, in some conditions, the system fails to grasp the complexity of the environment and applies techniques that are not the most appropriate. In such cases, it is important to be able to use the camera’s professional mode to adjust the values.

Also, during post-processing, these teams have different software to optimize the information from the sensor. The more advanced the goal, the more options it will provide in the final result.

Therefore, once the shot is taken, they are applied to the images automatic correction algorithms ranging from noise reduction, contrast / sharpness enhancement, to repair of lens geometric or chromatic aberrations.

The Galaxy A53 5G quad system is equipped with a 64 MP (f1.8) OIS camera with optical stabilization (OIS). That main camera adds a 12MP wide angle (f2.2) and two additional 5MP (f2.4) sensors.

One of them is the one that allows you to take macro photos and the other provides depth information. Meanwhile, a high-resolution 32MP front camera. sold to 92,999 pesos.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro

It is increasingly common for a mobile phone to appear, as is the case with the Redmi Note 11 Pro, with cameras with a resolution of 108 megapixels (MP). However, when measuring the dots in the photo, the image is 12 megapixels. How is it explained?

The increase in the number of pixels is related to the size of the sensors and the software’s ability to associate pixels, a technique known as Pixel Binning. What this does is group several individual pixels into an array, so that they act like one large pixel.

Xiaomi’s team packs nine pixels into one, which some manufacturers refer to as “ninth binning”. In this way, dividing 108 MP by 9, we get 12. It also increases the ability of the sensor to capture light, thus generating brighter and more detailed images.

The frame with the 108MP main sensor with wide-angle lens is complemented by an 8MP UGA sensor with a 118-degree field of view and a 2MP macro camera. The image is completed with a 16 MP front panel.

This Redmi Note 11 Pro allows you to record videos in Full HD with a maximum resolution of 1,920 by 1,080 at 30 frames per second. This 98,099 pesos.

Realme GT 2 Pro

Beyond the number of holes that the camera module carries, what really matters is the size of the sensor. The larger it is, the larger the capture surface, which is used to build an image with less electronic noise.

To achieve better focus, it agrees that, at least its main camera, has the stabilizer function OIS (Optical Image Stabilization), compensating for the slight vibrations of the wrist that can ruin a shot.

Optical stabilization allows you to get sharper and better quality images even in low light conditions as the stabilization system allows you to keep the shutter open longer.

Most cell phones today include sensors from Sony’s IMX series or Samsung’s ISOCELL series. Like the Realme, which is equipped with a 50MP Sony IMX 766, accompanied by a 50MP UGA sensor from Samsung.

Its great innovation is a 40x microscope camera. Instead of capturing razor-sharp images, it lets you see skin imperfections, lint on a cloth, or any surface particle in an object’s layer. This 92,000 pesos.

TCL 20SE

The diaphragm is like the iris of the eye, depending on how open it allows the amount of light to pass. The aperture of the lens regulates the passage of light to the sensor. It is measured by the F number, which relates the diameter of the lens to its focal length.

The lower the number, the larger the aperture and the more light reaches the sensor. To get an idea, an f / 2.0 lens lets in twice as much light as an f / 2.8 lens.

In its photographic facet, the TCL 20 SE presents itself with an 8 MP (f / 2.0) front and a rear quad composed of: a 16 MP (f / 1.8) main sensor, a 5 MP (f / 2.2) UGA ), a 2 MP macro sensor (f / 2.4) and a 2 MP depth sensor (f / 2.4).

The two cameras record at 30 fps, in HD resolution on the front and in FullHD resolution on the back. This 51,499 pesos.
