Best Camera Mobile Phones Under 40000

The Realme GT 7 packs the right goodies like a high-end chipset, all-around cameras, a pretty good battery life with really fast charging speeds. If we’re to nitpick, thermal management and ultrawide shots could have been better but that’s asking too much from an otherwise well-packaged phone in the segment.

Samsung's Galaxy S24 FE delivers a balanced experience in the segment, offering a bright 120 Hz display, dependable performance, solid battery life and a versatile triple camera setup. It’s an excellent choice for everyday users who want premium features but can’t go for the regular Galaxy S24. Power users may, however, notice its limitations, including a non-LTPO panel and only decent low-light photography.

The OnePlus 13R proves it still has plenty going for it even months after launch. With top-tier performance, excellent battery life, fast charging and a polished OxygenOS experience, it remains a reliable daily driver. While its cameras aren't class-leading in low-light, the strong daylight performance and a useful telephoto lens make it a well-rounded, good-value phone in the segment.

The OPPO Reno14 delivers a premium experience with flagship-like features at a cost-effective price. It offers standout build quality, an excellent camera setup, and solid battery with fast charging. Reno 14 brings decent performance too, but the chipset does tend to get hot under heavy gaming. Some users might not like the excess bloatware in the UI, but the overall experience is pretty solid for the price.

The Realme 16 Pro impresses with excellent battery life, a bright and immersive AMOLED display and a comfortable design that works well for everyday usage. Performance is generally smooth but definitely not the best in the segment and shows occasional slowdowns under heavy loads. The 200 MP camera delivers decent daylight results but struggles with noise and colour inconsistency at night. Overall, it's a solid mid-ranger than excels in endurance, with a few noticeable compromises.

The Vivo T4 Ultra is a specialist phone that excels in performance and zoom photography, thanks to the Dimensity 9300+ and 50 MP periscope camera, respectively. However, the ultrawide camera is only decent and the software hasn’t been Vivo’s strongest suit due to bloatware. Overall, T4 Ultra is an ideal device for those who need processing power and camera zoom, something that most phones in this segment miss out on when prioritizing one over the other.

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.

The Vivo V60 is a phone made for creators. While the internal processor isn’t class-leading, it delivers on other fronts with a great display and a massive battery. The star of the show is the Zeiss camera system which is capable of capturing great pictures with both the main and telephoto lenses. All in all, the Vivo V60 is a commendable choice for users who prioritise battery and camera over raw gaming prowess.
