These four mid-range phones have good camera performance and hold their own in terms of overall performance

【phoneauto Shopping Guide】Previously, mid-range phones have always been described as “underdeveloped” because they couldn’t take everything into account. For example, many high cost-effective models focus on performance but neglect imaging, resulting in many people saying that the camera quality of mid-range phones is only on par with scanning QR codes. However, this phenomenon has changed since the beginning of this year. Major smartphone manufacturers have started to delve into imaging and have made great progress in this area.

Who said mid-range phones can’t take good pictures? These four models are not bad.

The reason why smartphone imaging has made great progress is that more and more domestic smartphone manufacturers have realized that, unlike other hardware configurations, taking good photos with a phone cannot be achieved solely by piling up camera parameters. It also requires the driving force of deep software algorithms and other imaging technologies, which is also the key to reflecting the differentiation and competitiveness of different brands and products.

However, because more and more smartphone manufacturers frequently launch models that specialize in imaging, many consumers who are not familiar with smartphone configurations are confused and don’t know how to choose.
