One of the most wanted features in a smartphone is a good camera. We get umpteen requests from our readers asking us to recommend a phone under Rs. 20,000 which can take great photos. While there are phones with sensors that can capture good images in daylight, almost all of them produce subpar images in low light situations. Oppo believes it has the answer to this common problem with its latest midrange smartphone the Oppo Mirror 3.
Oppo Mirror 3 is the Chinese company's attempt to create a mid-range smartphone with a competent camera. And, Oppo succeeds, as the camera captures great low-light photographs. On the other hand, the phone itself has mediocre performance and is too expensive. We'd recommend this phone only if you are serious about smartphone photography.
