Comparison Conclusion & Final camera review:
Nokia 2.4 cameras (both rear and front) perform really well considering that it is a budget-end smartphone after all. Especially when it comes to still imaging quality it impressed us with capturing detailed images that also capture accurate colors. It also keeps White balance correct in most of the cases.
We must mention that the camera is also good at capturing Bokeh, Portrait and closeup macro images that will make you happy. Even the front camera captures some good Portrait images.
Nokia 2.4 camera performs better than average in low-light and Night Mode certainly brings difference over normal low-light capture but it has areas for improvements. It can be tweaked for even more light or/and better details capture.
We also would like to mention the new Flash torch mode that gives better results than the traditional flash capture. It results in better clarity and white balance.
Video capture is satisfactory with good details but can be tweaked for better clarity/contrast. It performs well in low-light conditions too but focusing in extreme low-light cases is erratic.
