Best Camera Mobile Phones Under 30000

The Vivo V50 is excellent for those who prioritise design, battery capacity and capture a lot of selfies. However, in the segment, the Vivo V50 can seem rather dated in terms of performance and while the cameras are balanced for the most part, the ultra-wide lens could certainly use some work. Unlike the V60, the V50 lacks a dedicated telephoto shooter as well, which could be a dealbreaker for some. Overall, there are tons of better alternatives at this price and we’d recommend steering clear of this one.

With an excellent software experience with Nothing OS, a versatile camera setup, and a bright 120 Hz OLED display, the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro still champions its place as one of the best mid-range smartphones you can buy, even after six months.

The Redmi Note 15 Pro shines as a stylish yet durable smartphone that can withstand submersion in water and accidental drops. It features a stunning display and long-lasting battery life. However, the outdated software, average cameras, and middle-of-the-road performance hold it back from being the segment's top contender. It would be a good pick if you prioritise durability, but for anyone else, there are better options out there.

The Vivo T4 Pro is the perfect Android phone for someone who prioritises zoom and portrait shots. Backing the camera are an excellent display and good battery backup. However, the chipset is not the most powerful in the segment and the phone packs a lot of preinstalled apps. So overall, the Vivo T4 Pro is a solid recommend for people who want good cameras and battery life.

The Vivo T3 Ultra is a popular midrange smartphone that delivers a good balance of performance, cameras and design. It is definitely one of the attractive options, with a sleek glossy design, and curved display that runs smoothly at 120Hz. The performance is handled well with a powerful chipset but the phone gets hot after long gaming sessions. The main and the selfie camera takes good photos for the price, but the ultra wide lens feels tacked on. Overall, it is a good purchase in the budget in comparison to competitors.

The Motorola Edge 60 Pro is a well-rounded phone which looks and feels premium, delivers excellent everyday performance, has a large, bright display, the cameras perform reliably across the board, and the battery easily lasts a full day. The software experience on Hello UI is decent, but the flavour of Android 16 is missing. It's a near perfect phone under Rs 30,000 that offers almost a flagship level experience.

The Motorola Edge 60 is a style statement with its vegan leather back panel and a top-tier curved display. It’s blessed with a useful set of cameras all around and its speakers can get quite loud.

However, if you want a better performance or software experience, you might be a little underwhelmed and are better off with other options in the segment.

The Motorola Edge 70 turns the tables on slim phones, proving that you don't need to make compromises or pay a premium to enjoy a super-thin and lightweight smartphone experience. It packs a big and beautiful display, and a battery that can actually last you a day, decent performance. It has an average camera setup and is bogged down by a subpar UI. But if looks are all that matter to you, then the Moto Edge 70 won't disappoint at all.

The Vivo V40e is for those who prioritise design, good main camera and curved display. It is not the most well-rounded phone for the price and fails to deliver when it comes to camera performance and overall smartphone experience. On top of that, the OS feels unpolished and lacklustre, but it does offer some actually useful camera AI features, if you value that over anything else.
