Best Budget PopUp Camera Smartphones In India

| Updated: Tuesday, February 18, 2020, 16:22 [IST]

The year 2019 witnessed many updates, as far as specs of the devices are concerned. One particular spec that turned users into more selfie freaks, was the introduction of pop-up camera configuration. When this feature arrived, users tend to find it on only a few high-end and mid-range phones. Gradually, the feature has become so common that even budget phones, these days, are launched with the pop-up camera orientation.

If we talk about the orientation, some devices either feature centrally aligned or side-mounted pop-up camera on top. Now coming to benefits, with a pop-up camera, your phone will offer a truly bezel-less display.

The sensor immediately retracts after witnessing any harm. It comes with an anti-dust mechanism, which prevents the screen from the accumulation of dust and dirt. Due to which, you get clearer images and videos with the best autofocus result.

Overwhelmed by the very well admiration for the pop-up lens by the users, our makers are keen on launching even more creative camera setups. Several reports have claimed that a few Chinese companies, especially out of the BBK portfolio, are working on an in-display camera, which could be seen in the upcoming phones sometime later.

While with OnePlus One Concept, we already saw a new kind of camera configuration, where rear cameras are positioned under a special glass. The camera comes into existence, only after you have opened the app.

And, goes vanishing the moment camera app is turned off. As we are waiting to see more sophisticated camera phones, you can by now get some of the best pop-up camera budget phones from Rs. 13,999, in the list below.
