In our analysis of the Vivo T4x and Realme P3x, we’ve already determined which smartphone performs better in terms of speed and battery life. The Vivo T4x stood out as the best option in those areas, so we will now conclude our comparison by evaluating their camera capabilities to identify which device excels in photography, especially within the sub-Rs 15,000 category.
This camera evaluation hinges on several essential aspects: the accuracy of colors, the level of detail in the images, sharpness, representation of skin tones, and overall texture. By scrutinizing these factors, we can objectively assess which device offers superior camera performance.
### Daylight Performance
When it comes to capturing images in daylight, both the Vivo T4x and Realme P3x deliver results that are quite comparable. The color profiles they produce tend to lean towards a warmer tone. While both models exhibit similar levels of detail, the Realme P3x enhances the colors, making them appear more vivid than they do in reality. Conversely, while the Vivo T4x generates somewhat sharper images, this processing can introduce some noise in darker sections of the photos. Given that both phones perform equally well in well-lit conditions, this round is a tie.
### Portrait Shots
In portrait photography, the Vivo T4x has a clear advantage over the Realme P3x. The Realme model struggles with edge detection and does not effectively separate subjects from the background. Although both phones fail to capture intricate facial details accurately, the Vivo T4x manages better skin tone reproduction, while the Realme P3x tends to overly smooth skin, which can detract from natural appearance. Hence, in this category, the winner is the Vivo T4x.
### Selfies
For selfies, the Realme P3x provides more accurate skin color reproduction, remaining closer to the actual scene. However, its camera struggles to capture facial details effectively, which is a common issue for this device. In comparison, while the Vivo T4x might not be the most color-true option, it surpasses the Realme P3x in clarity and detail, making the Vivo a winner in this round as well.
### Low-Light Photography
In low-light conditions, we assessed both smartphones initially without night mode activated. The Vivo T4x utilizes a long exposure technique, which grants it an edge in terms of image sharpness and light handling. When night mode is turned on, the differences become more pronounced. The Realme P3x, meanwhile, takes less dynamic shots, which can lead to visible noise and lower detail clarity. Therefore, the Vivo T4x wins this section due to its better management of low-light situations.
### Low-Light (Night Mode)
When we activated night mode, the Realme P3x applies artificial sharpening but experiences some detail loss. Although it does enhance color vibrancy, the higher contrast creates a more lively image compared to the Vivo T4x. However, the Vivo T4x excels in detail and edge detection, despite its aggressive color processing. Notably, it boosts greens significantly and alters sky colors inaccurately, which can misrepresent the scene. In this category, the Realme P3x takes the win due to its overall image appeal.
In this camera evaluation, the Vivo T4x comes out ahead of the Realme P3x overall, especially in portrait and selfie photography. Both devices perform similarly in daylight shots. However, the Realme P3x shines in low-light conditions when night mode is in use. If capturing human subjects is your primary focus, the Vivo T4x would be the better option, while the Realme P3x may be more suitable for low-light photography enthusiasts. Both smartphones are available in India for approximately Rs 13,999 for their entry-level models.
