Camera Limitations Under ₹10000

Night photography: Under ₹10000, night photography is limited - small sensors capture less light, producing noisy, blurry night shots. Night mode helps but doesn't overcome the hardware constraint. Budget for ₹15000+ if night photography is a priority.

Ultrawide lens: Most phones under ₹10000 include an ultrawide sensor but with significantly lower quality than the main lens. Treat the ultrawide as a bonus feature, not a primary camera.

Video quality: 1080p/30fps is standard. 4K video is rarely available under ₹10000. Video stabilisation is basic. For consistent video quality, budget ₹15000+.
