How’s the Selfie camera output?

Vivo has been making selfie cameras from quite a while now and they do a pretty good job in capturing images. As far as Vivo Y95 is concerned, the massive 20MP front-facing camera captures bright and detailed images when light conditions are favorable. As the camera also comes equipped with ‘Backlight HDR', a feature derived from the Vivo's previously launched X21 handset; the camera can deliver good selfies in challenging light situations. Resultant, if you are taking a shot with very bright light in the background, the selfies will still come out decent and better than other smartphones that do not feature backlight HDR capability. The images look natural and vivid. Overall, Vivo Y95 does a slightly better job in taking self-portraits than other handsets in the same price-point.

The dual-lens rear camera setup at rear also does a very good job in ample light. The images show natural color tones and good detailing. There's minimal pixelation even when images are zoomed-in to the maximum level. The camera focuses quickly and offers life-like images.

It is the low-light camera performance, where the budget smartphone struggles to capture good shots. As the sensor works on a darker aperture, the light intake is not very good and images often show noise. Check out the above image, you can clearly see the the of grains visible in the image. If there's a light source in the frame, you can derive some decent images from Vivo Y95's cameras.

Portrait images

The 2MP depth-sensing camera is good at creating a pleasing depth of field. The bokeh effect looks pleasing and works just fine on humans and objects. The edge-detection is not always perfect and can be intensive at some places but overall, I was able to capture some good portraits with Vivo Y95's dual-lens camera.

Does AI improves the camera performance?

The camera also utilizes machine learning algorithms to better the overall image output. During my testing, I noticed that the images show better level of luminance when the AI is turned on. You will also notice better color reproduction in food shots and slightly improved edge-detection while taking portraits.

Overall, Vivo Y95 comes out as a good camera smartphone in sub Rs. 17k price-point. The camera manages to deliver good pictures in most of the situations. The company has also added several features in the camera app to help you make the most out from this budget handset.
