The front camera on the device is a 5-megapixel one, but still manages to pull out a lot of good images all the time. We took pictures on the phone in-flow of light and even against the light, and in both the cases, the images turned out to be good.
Rear Camera Samples
The rear camera on the Redmi Note 3 is a 16-megapixel shooter with Phase Detection autofocus and an aperture of f/2.0. With these specifications, the camera was able to take good pictures in almost all the lighting conditions.
Artificial Light
In artificial light, the pictures on the Redmi Note 3 came out to be pretty good. There was no noise noticed as such in the pictures that I took with the phone. For taking pictures in such a lighting conditions, I had our studio lights turned on one side of the table.
Natural Light
For natural lighting conditions, I took the pictures using our usual objects, the action figures and the landscape near our office. Apart from that, I also took the phone to a park in the evening and took a few pictures with the device. All the pictures came out really well, with life-like colors in almost all pictures. If I’m just looking at the pictures from this phone, they are decent enough.
Low Light
In low lighting condition, the picture that I took with the Redmi Note 3 came out to be a bit noisy, though when taking a picture with Flash in low lighting conditions, the image came out great and had no problem regarding the colors. I was glad that the picture did not look washed out when taken with a flash.
