1. Comparing Vsmart Active 3 Camera: Superior in both specifications and image quality
Besides the camera hardware, the way images are processed by software brings out the distinctive image quality of Vsmart Active 3.
With the advancement of technology and the investment from various brands, the budget smartphone segment is hotter than ever with many impressive products. For around 4 million VND, users can own a smartphone with a good camera, capable of easily capturing beautiful photos.
Tech experts at the Tinhte forum recently compared the photo capabilities of the 3 hottest smartphones in the 4-5 million VND range: Vsmart Active 3, Oppo A31, and Samsung Galaxy A20s. Surprisingly, despite being priced lower than the other two devices, Vsmart Active 3 possesses outstanding photos.
Capturing outdoor scenes with Vsmart Active 3's HDR feature yields remarkable results, preserving intricate details and vibrant colors under the sun.
Firstly, in terms of hardware, Vsmart Active 3 outshines its two counterparts. The device boasts a triple rear camera setup, with the primary camera sporting an impressive 48 MP resolution, whereas the competitors feature 12 MP (Oppo A31) and 25 MP (Samsung Galaxy A20s) cameras respectively.
The rear cameras on Vsmart Active 3 include an 8 MP ultra-wide-angle lens and a 2 MP depth sensor. In contrast, Oppo A31 features a macro lens and depth sensor, while Samsung Galaxy A20s is equipped with a wide-angle lens and depth sensor.
On the front, Vsmart Active 3's selfie camera boasts a 16 MP resolution, whereas both competitors utilize an 8 MP camera. Additionally, Vsmart's smartphone stands out with its pop-up selfie camera, enhancing the device's aesthetics.
However, in the realm of smartphone photography, specifications alone do not determine quality. Image quality heavily relies on post-processing. This is where Vsmart Active 3 shines with its Helio P60 chipset, the most powerful among the three compared devices.

Power from Image Processing
“Vsmart Active 3 handles HDR well, preserving details and vibrant, captivating colors,” commented Lê Huyền Vân, an administrator at Tinhte forum, regarding an outdoor photo taken in strong light.
“Vsmart opts for a balanced approach, combining HDR with higher resolution, resulting in relatively neutral images, especially when viewed on the device's AMOLED screen,” noted ndminhduc, a Tinhte administrator.
When using the rear camera for portraits, Vsmart's smartphone model exhibits excellent facial detail. Moreover, background details such as foliage are also better reproduced compared to the other two phones.
“Perhaps this is due to the higher resolution on the Vsmart Active 3 model, which makes the difference quite noticeable,” added mod Vân, elaborating on the distinction among the three devices.
When using the front camera, Active 3's selfie camera captures most facial details, renders skin tones well, and applies minimal smoothening filters, resulting in more authentic selfies.
“Clearly, this phone produces detailed and authentic photos, so any flaws on the face will be revealed in the picture,” Ms. Lê Huyền Vân shared her thoughts on selfies taken with Vsmart Active 3. Of course, the device still offers various beauty levels for users to choose according to their preferences.
Vsmart Active 3 delivers detailed selfie shots without applying excessive beauty effects like the other two remaining smartphone models.
Meanwhile, the other two models still apply beauty enhancements even when filters are turned off. Although this approach might make faces smoother, excessive processing could blur some details such as nostril definition and distort facial features, potentially affecting the photo's true colors.
Besides the hardware specifications, image processing plays a significant role in each photo. Each manufacturer chooses a different processing direction. Tinhte's experiments reveal that Vsmart opts for realism without excessive embellishments. Consequently, Vsmart's photos retain the most details, allowing users to process them more effectively with applications.
The analysis of the configuration also reveals the strength of Vsmart Active 3's image processing. The Helio P60 chipset not only offers better processing power but also supports higher-resolution image sensors compared to the chips in the two competitors. Hence, Vsmart Active 3 can equip a 48 MP resolution camera.
Moreover, equipped with an NPU (Neural Processing Unit), the device can process images more efficiently as this chip specializes in executing machine learning tasks to handle image processing from the camera, as well as serving other purposes.
