2. Evaluating Photo Quality from Realme 10's Camera
2.1 Daytime Photography
With its 50MP primary camera, Realme 10 delivers sufficiently bright photos with good detail, effective contrast processing, although the colors are slightly muted. Understandably, for a phone in Realme 10's price range, it already stands out compared to its competitors.
2.2 Zoom Photography
Despite lacking a dedicated telephoto lens, Realme 10 still offers a default 2x zoom mode in its camera interface. However, the 2x photos from this Realme phone are simply cropped from the 50MP primary camera's photos, so we can easily notice a certain amount of noise in the image.
2.3 Portrait Mode Photography
Despite having only a 2MP depth-sensing camera, Realme 10 manages to capture portrait mode photos quite well with impressive subject focusing, good color reproduction, and natural-looking background blur in post-processing, bringing satisfaction to users.
2.4 Nighttime and Low-Light Photography
The Auto Night mode on Realme 10 showcases impressive results with nighttime photos, offering good detail, minimal noise, acceptable color rendition, and well-handled light and contrast levels. However, turning off the night mode results in rather poor photos.
2.5 Selfie Photography
The 16MP camera on Realme 10, coupled with HDR mode, produces sharp selfie photos with decent image quality, natural beautification mode, and a variety of filters for users to customize according to their preferences.
2.6 Video Recording Quality
Realme 10 can record 1080p videos at 30 fps and 60 fps with the primary camera, and 1080p at 30 fps with the front camera. Despite lacking optical or electronic image stabilization, the video quality from Realme 10's cameras is good, stable, with decent color reproduction and detail.
CONCLUSION
In the mid-range to budget segment, Realme 10 brings users a phone with impressive capabilities in both photography and videography.
Overall, within its price range, Realme 10 truly delivers a smartphone with impressive video recording and photography abilities.
