Video, Photo, and Camera Quality

Leading the rear triple camera setup is a 50MP primary sensor that can offer rich and detailed photos when there is plenty of light. There is a 5MP ultra-wide lens to capture wide shots, perfect for landscapes and group photos, and a 2MP macro sensor to take close-up shots. Selfies shine through using the 13MP front cameraᤥ, offering clear and sharp output with multiple beauty modes. Smooth 4K video recording and Video Digital Image Stabilization (VDIS) helps avoid shake by minimizing unwanted movement of the camera, resulting in steady footage.

HD camera; 2MP macros camera; and 5MP depth sensor on the rear. That imaging setup consists of a 50MP wide-angle main camera, a 5MP ultra-wide, and a 2MP macro. It has a 13MP selfie camera on the front.

Main Trained Camera (50MP Wide-Angle):

In good lighting, the primary 50MP sensor delivers decent detail and colours. But in low light, the quality drops with an increase in noise and lower sharpness. In these situations, it’s best to have some extra light or use the built-in night mode to improve photo quality.

Ultra-Wide Camera (5MP):

There is also a 5MP ultra-wide lens for wide-angle shots, catering to both landscapes and group photos. Although it provides a wider field of view, images can suffer edge distortion — and the lower resolution compared to the main sensor means less detail.

Macro Camera (2MP):

The 2MP macro lens, which is meant for close-up photography, lets users shoot subjects from 4cm away. However, the detail is limited due to its low resolution, and images may look grainy if enlarged. The lens is best used in good lighting conditions for best results.

Selfie Camera (13MP):

Under good lighting, the front lens is good at capturing decent selfies, as it has a resolution of 13MP. However, in darker conditions, images may appear less detailed and noise will become very obvious. In low-light environments, we recommend using screen flash or external light sources to improve the quality of selfies taken.

Video Recording:

Video recording is supported (up to 1080p @ 30fps). While this is common for smartphones in this segment, users may experience a little choppiness during fast movements. Sometimes, the audio needs the sound to match the video.

Conclusion:

Daily photography needs — the Samsung Galaxy M15 5G Prime Edition provides you with a versatile camera system. In low light scenarios and video recording it leaves more to be desired than its competitors, though it does do well in bright lightconditions. This smartphone is a decent option for users looking for a reasonably priced device with a camera setup that can get the job done in most scenarios.
