Low-Cost Camera Fest

A quad-camera set-up in a smartphone is not a new concept, but it is a lucrative deal when a sub₹15,000 device sports it, including a 48 MP Sony IMX586, an 8 MP ultra-wide sensor, a 2 MP macro lens and a 2 MP depth sensor besides a waterdrop notch 16 MP front camera.

But the camera app UI on Realme 5 Pro does not complement the hardware. For instance, just the video, photo and portrait modes are out there at the centre, but most other modes and options are hidden, and you can only access them after a few clicks. I had to scroll to the very top under the photo mode to activate the ultra-wide lens (119Ëš) for capturing landscapes and a large group of people.
