The New Era of Imaging: Which of the 4 Flagship Phones with 50MP Cameras is Worth Buying?

Honestly, in this era where imaging reigns supreme, every new phone is fiercely competitive. From the depth of periscope telephoto lenses to the detailed micro-lenses and professional-grade tuning from collaborations with imaging companies, every new phone interprets the endless possibilities of photographic art in its own way. However, products that primarily focus on imaging are often high-end flagships, and it's only this year that this feature is gradually becoming more accessible. This is excellent news for consumers on a tighter budget.

I've noticed that the following four sub-series of new phones will all be equipped with a 50MP high-pixel solution, some even in collaboration with other companies. Without further ado, let's see which one is the best choice.

First: Redmi K80 Pro

It is understood that Redmi K80 Pro is equipped with a 50MP AI triple camera system, including a wide-angle main camera, a vertical telephoto lens, and an ultra-wide-angle lens. Even without a periscope telephoto lens, there are reports that it will support a 3X telephoto lens. Coupled with the optimized "Light Hunter" technology, the photography performance should make it a leader in its price range.

The external specifications are also quite strong. It features a 2K resolution, high-end domestic straight screen, with high-frequency PWM dimming, 120Hz refresh rate, and single-point ultrasonic fingerprint. The core configuration is powered by the Snapdragon 8Gen4 processor, with a battery capacity expected to reach around 6000mAh. Combined with Pengpai OS 2.0, full-function NFC, glass body, metal frame, dual speakers, X-axis linear motor, and other features, the competitive value is very strong.

Second: OnePlus 13

The OnePlus 13 also boasts impressive photography capabilities. It adopts a LYT808 main camera + 50MP IMX882 ultra-wide angle + 50MP IMX882 3X periscope lens, supporting Hasselblad's Master Imaging. Industry insiders reveal that while the telephoto macro function is still missing, the overall image quality is expected to improve.

The external specifications are not bad either. It will feature a 2K BOE 8TLTPO deep four-curved screen, supporting single-point ultrasonic fingerprint recognition. The rear camera design on the back is changed to a centralized large circular deco. It comes pre-installed with ColorOS 15, has a built-in 6000mAh battery, and is expected to support 100W wired charging + 50W wireless charging, as well as IP68/69 dust and water resistance, and a 0916T motor. Overall, the competitive value is not weak either.

Third: Realme GT7 Pro

The Realme GT7 Pro is also not to be underestimated. While the telephoto lens will be adjusted, switching to the LTY-600 periscope telephoto lens, whose sensor size is 1/1.95 inches, there are reports that it will also be equipped with the IMX822 periscope lens, supporting 3X optical zoom and 120X digital zoom. Using the "10x hybrid zoom with large model super-resolution algorithm," photography should not encounter any problems.

The external specifications are also not bad. It is powered by the Snapdragon 8Gen4 mobile platform, and the front of the phone uses a 1.5K LTPO deep four-curved straight screen, which is said to be highly customized and surpasses the 2K parameters of similar new phones. It adopts single-point ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint. The battery is also at the 6000mAh level and supports IP69 dust and water resistance. The product's own competitive value has also significantly improved.

Fourth: iQOO 13

It is reported that the biggest change in the imaging system of iQOO 13 is the reduction in the 50Mp triple camera configuration. The reason is that the imaging system accounts for a significant portion of the total cost of the phone. Although the pixel count has been reduced, it is likely that optimizations have been made to the algorithms and sensor performance to ensure good shooting results under different lighting conditions and scenarios.

However, the external specifications are strong. For example, the core configuration will be powered by the Snapdragon 8Gen4 processor, and it will also be equipped with LPDDR5X memory and UFS4.0 flash memory. The front uses a 2K straight screen design, supporting a 144Hz high refresh rate, PWM dimming technology, and ultrasonic fingerprint unlocking. As for the battery capacity, it should not be lower than 6000mAh, maintaining strong competitiveness.

Summary

In terms of the configuration parameters of these four new phones, the imaging aspects are very clear, and their performance in terms of external specifications are also not weak. So the question is, which model will you consider? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.
