5 Phones with a good camera to buy now for less than 400 euros

Having a mobile with a good camera today is something within the reach of all pockets. In the market there are models at a good price with a photographic section adequate enough to take photos in any condition and place. Even using the bokeh or blur technique thanks to the depth sensor. In this way, it is possible to highlight an element of the image from the rest to give it all the prominence.

If you are currently looking for a terminal with a good camera, but that does not go up a lot in price, do not stop reading. Next, we reveal five models that do not exceed 400 euros.

1. Samsung Galaxy A9 2018

One of the most recommended mobiles to enjoy a good camera without the bill going off too much is the Samsung Galaxy A9 2018. It is the first device from the company to have four cameras on its back. Also, not all lenses offer the same functionality. On the one hand, we have the normal set that we see in a double camera system. That is, a main sensor together with a depth sensor, responsible for taking bokeh photos. In the Galaxy A9 this is dealt with by a 24 megapixel sensor with f / 1.7 aperture plus another 5 megapixel with f / 2.2 aperture.

The other two sensors offer a different kind of photography. We can say that they do not work in tune with their peers, they will have to be chosen in the camera application to use them. In this way, we have a telephoto sensor with a resolution of 10 megapixels and aperture f / 2.4, which allows us to do 2x optical zoom. Also included is an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle sensor with f / 2.4 aperture. The latter is used to capture with an angle of 120 degrees.

For selfies, the Samsung Galaxy A9 2018 boasts a 24-megapixel front sensor with f / 2.0 aperture, which does not lack a beauty mode to perfect self-portraits. You can find this model on Amazon at a price of 325 euros.

Other features of the Samsung Galaxy A9

• 6.3-inch Super AMOLED screen, FHD + resolution of 2,220 x 1,080 pixels
• Octa-Core processor (four at 2.2 GHz and four at 1.8 GHz)
• 3,800 mAh battery with fast charge
• Fingerprint reader
• Always on Display
• Face unlock

2. Huawei P20 Pro

Although it has recently been eclipsed by a new generation, we cannot deny that today the Huawei P20 Pro is still a mobile with a very interesting photographic section. It has three cameras on the back, which work together to take high-quality photos. The main one has a resolution of 40 megapixels RGB. The size of its megapixels is 2 square microns, which when combined with Light Fusion technology in cells of four is capable of increasing its size and resolution, thus improving the final quality of the photo. To all this we must add an opening of 1.8.

The second sensor is monochrome with a resolution of 20 megapixels and 1.6 aperture. This is responsible for capturing different details of the environment separately to give more information to the image. Finally, the third sensor is an 8 megapixel telephoto lens, capable of capturing scenes further away from where we are. In fact, one of its great attractions is that it offers a 3x optical and 5x hybrid zoom. As for the front camera, it has a resolution of 24 megapixels and a 2.0 aperture.

How to buy a Huawei P20 Pro right now for less than 400 euros? This mobile is still in stores like El Corte Inglés at 550 euros, but it is possible to get it for less than 400 euros by making a contract with Yoigo. With the La Sinfín 30 GB rate (unlimited calls and 30 GB for browsing) the P20 Pro costs 11 euros per month, which means that after two years you will have paid 264 euros.

However, the operator requires a final payment of 150 euros, which would raise the price to 414 euros, in case the client wants to keep the terminal at the end of the contract. If you want to renew with Yoigo, and really when the time comes you are no longer interested in having it, the best thing after two years is to buy a new mobile phone, more current, to save that money.

Other features of the Huawei P20 Pro

This model includes a dual 48-megapixel sensor with f / 1.8 aperture along with a second 5-megapixel sensor for bokeh photos.

It should be noted that the images are not made by default at such a large size. It will be the user himself who will have to activate the 48 megapixel option in an icon that appears at the top of the Camera app. Of course, in this mode it will not be possible to use the zoom. This double camera is reinforced by AI to get better shots in any type of environment. For its part, a single 13-megapixel sensor is responsible for selfies.
