Camera Phones Under 30000: Getting a high-performing camera phone in the ₹30,000 range was once a challenge. Now, it’s no more. A few brands are now stuffing serious photographic hardware into affordable phones. From capturing detailed portraits to awe-inspiring landscapes, there’s plenty to look forward to within this budget. Here are five new handsets that are different from the rest with their high-resolution cameras, fluid displays, and luxury looks, all without breaching that ₹30K threshold.
Motorola Edge 60 Pro
This phone combines high-end design with well-balanced features in the form of a vibrant OLED screen and slim build. It features a triple-camera array with a 50MP primary sensor, a 50MP ultrawide, and a 10MP telephoto lens, all with OIS support for stability. The 50MP selfie camera is excellent at detail capture, and 4K video provides some level of versatility. It is powered by a Dimensity 8350 Extreme processor and a massive 6000mAh battery with 90W fast charging support. The screen provides rich visuals with Pantone certification and Gorilla Glass 7i protection.
Realme 14 Pro Plus
Realme’s rival boasts an expansive 6.83-inch AMOLED display and is equipped with a 50MP + 50MP + 8MP camera module. The back lenses have OIS and 4K video, while selfies turn out sharp thanks to a 32MP front camera. Powered by Snapdragon 7s Gen3, 8GB RAM, and a 6000mAh battery with 80W charging, this device does both performance and endurance justice. It’s bright enough to use outdoors and foregoes the headphone jack in favor of a sleek design.
Vivo V50e
Vivo’s V50e prioritizes sleek slenderness and crisp shots. It’s the most lightweight among the five, with just 186g and a 7.61mm svelte build. The 50MP dual camera does a great job with OIS and Sony IMX882 sensor backing. Selfies are also excellent with a 50MP selfie shooter. Powered by Dimensity 7300, it also features virtual RAM and 90W charging for its 5600mAh battery. The AMOLED screen offers a silky 120Hz refresh but slightly lower resolution than competition.
Oppo Reno12 Pro
It impresses with its Sony IMX890 sensor on the primary 50MP rear camera for more image sharpness. Coupled with a second 50MP and an 8MP, the camera offers stability through OIS and 4K video recording. Selfies receive a 50MP makeover as well. The HDR10+ supported AMOLED display remains legible in sunlight with 1200 nits of brightness. It is driven by a Dimensity 7300 Energy chip and features 12GB RAM along with 12GB of virtual RAM. The battery measures 5000mAh with fast charging at 80W.
Samsung Galaxy M55 5G
Samsung’s choice is straightforward but powerful. It includes a triple-camera setup with a 50MP main sensor and 4K video. Selfies are courtesy of a 50MP front camera. Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 is what powers it, and hybrid storage can be expanded with 8GB RAM. The Super AMOLED Plus screen is an amazing, well-lit display with a silky-smooth 120Hz refresh rate. It has a 5000mAh battery with 45W fast charging, but it is slower than the fast chargers on this list.
