7 Dual camera phones for less than 300 euros

It came to stay, although with the intention of evolving. The dual camera, considered a very prominent feature in high-end mobiles, is already present in a large number of mid-range phones. In fact, we can find it in models that do not exceed 300 euros. The double sensor idea caused a revolution in the telephony industry. They work independently, with the same or different resolution, to grant different uses or functions.

One of the most outstanding features of the dual sensor is the possibility of performing the bokeh or blur effect, which allows giving priority to one element of the image over the rest. But with the double camera we can also improve the captures when the light is scarce, or achieve a higher quality optical zoom by combining the images taken by both sensors. If your dream is to have a mobile with a dual sensor, but you don't have more than 300 euros to spend, don't stop reading. We reveal 7 models that do not rise from this price.

Lenovo Moto G6

The Lenovo Moto G6 has a 12 + 5 megapixel dual main camera, with dual dual-tone LED flash and phase detection autofocus. The front lens is 8 megapixels and it also offers flash. One of its main features is that the camera application has artificial intelligence to improve captures. In our tests we saw that the photographic section of the Moto G6 Plus is quite interesting. Get good definition in shots and bright, vivid colors. In addition, the terminal does not exceed 300 euros. It can currently be purchased on Amazon for 226 euros.

The Moto G6 also offers a 5.7-inch panel with HD resolution of 1,080 x 2,160 pixels, as well as a 1.8 GHz octa-core processor, accompanied by 4 GB of RAM.

Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra

At Fnac we have located the Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra for less than 300 euros. This model comes with a double camera, but on the front. Specifically, it has a 16-megapixel sensor and f / 2.0 aperture, along with another 8-megapixel sensor with f / 2.4 aperture. It should be noted that the second sensor does not aim to achieve the popular bokeh effect, as we see in most devices. These are two sensors that work separately. In fact, in the camera application itself we can use a dedicated button to switch between the two.

The 16 megapixel sensor covers 88 degrees of angle, which is normal for a front camera. In addition, it has an optical image stabilizer. The 8 megapixel is a wide angle that covers up to 120 degrees. In other words, it is a sensor specially designed for group photos. There's no lack of an LED flash for taking selfies at night or in dark places. If we turn it around, the XA2 Ultra has a 23-megapixel sensor with f / 2.0 aperture and a maximum ISO of 12800.

Huawei P20 Lite

The Huawei P20 Lite landed on the market with a 16-megapixel RGB sensor, which is supported by another 2-megapixel lens to achieve a blur effect. For its part, the front camera has a resolution of 16 megapixels and also includes many of the features of the main lens, such as the bokeh effect or the recording of moving photos. This secondary sensor uses a flash on the panel itself. Although it lacks a physical one, it is true that the quality of the selfies is not bad, even when the light is not exactly a great accompaniment.

The terminal also has a 5.84-inch screen with FHD + resolution (2,244 x 1080 pixels) and an 18.7: 9 aspect ratio. In its guts there is room for a Kirin 659 processor along with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of space, as well as a 3,000 mAh battery with fast charging.

The Xiaomi Mi A2 also stands out for its 5.99-inch panel (2,160 x 1,080 pixels), in addition to its Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 processor, along with 4 or 6 GB of RAM, which will guarantee fluid performance for applications and processes..
