Lava Z25 vs Coolpad Note 5 Lite vs Honor 6X Camera Comparison
Daylight Camera
We clicked multiple shots for various objects in the daylight and the picture quality is quite good in terms of the sharpness of the objects. It almost resembles to the actual lighting at the time of shoot. While all the three images look very good, the colours in the Lava Z25 sample look more accurate than the other two devices’.
Artificial Light
All the three phones performed decently again in artificial lighting conditions. Both the Lava Z25 and the Coolpad Note 5 Lite do surprisingly better compared to the Honor 6X, which looks a little dull than usual.
Low Light
In this lighting condition, we worked on very limited light access. Shots in limited access to light have come good enough though sharpness is a bit issue. The Honor 6X and the Coolpad Note 5 Lite were a little more dull compared to the Lava Z25, but overall the images are quite decent.
Camera Verdict
Lava Z25 has a good camera feature in the budget premium smartphone category. With good results in different modes of light conditions it has performed really well. The Coolpad Note 5 Lite and the Honor 6X fared decently as well, but on most occasions, the Lava Z25 produced better images in terms of colour details, accuracy and noise.
