Camera
| Feature | Samsung Galaxy A42 5G | vivo V30 | Practical Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main Camera | 48MP, f/1.8, 1/2", 0.8µm | 50MP, f/1.88, 1/1.55", 1.0µm | vivo V30's larger sensor and bigger pixels gather more light, potentially resulting in better low-light performance and dynamic range. The slight resolution increase might be noticeable in large prints or heavy cropping. |
| Selfie Camera | 20MP, f/2.2, 1.0µm | 50MP, f/2.0, 0.64µm | vivo V30 should capture more detailed selfies, especially in well-lit conditions. The wider aperture helps in low light. |
| Ultrawide Camera | 5MP, f/2.2, 1.12µm | 50MP, f/2.0, 0.64µm | vivo V30's ultrawide is much higher resolution. Expect better quality ultrawide photos and videos. |
| Depth Sensor | 5MP, f/2.4, 1/5", 1.12µm | None | Samsung Galaxy A42 5G has a dedicated depth sensor, which aids in creating more accurate bokeh (background blur) effects in portrait mode. However, well-designed software algorithms can compensate for the lack of a dedicated sensor. |
| Macro Lens | 5MP, f/2.4, 1/5", 1.12µm | None | Samsung Galaxy A42 5G has a dedicated macro lens for close-up shots. Image quality from these sensors tends to be mediocre. |
| Video Recording | 4K@30fps, 1080p@30fps, 720p@480fps | 4K@30fps with EIS, 1080p@30fps with EIS | vivo V30's Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) will result in smoother video recording, especially when moving. |
| Camera Features | Quadruple camera | Dual camera, OIS, EIS, RAW | vivo V30 offers Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) for the main camera for smoother videos and sharper low-light photos and allows capturing RAW images for post-processing flexibility. |
