Rear Camera Samples

The rear camera performs really well, by capturing some really great shots in natural lighting conditions, and decent shots in artificial lighting and low lighting condition, though you can see some noise in the images in low light.

Artificial Light

In artificial lighting, the camera performs decently, though you can see some noise in the pictures, but it isn’t that bad. You can still ignore that and continue clicking pictures with your smartphone.

Natural Light

In natural lighting conditions, the camera performs really well, depicting each and every detail clearly, and even focusing on the subject really quickly. The images did come out great with the natural lighting conditions.

Low Light

In low lighting conditions, the camera stutters to click pictures. It sometimes can not focus on the object easily, and then you have to tap to focus on the object a few times. Given the price of this smartphone, the camera is still okay.

Honor Holly 2 Plus Camera Verdict

The Honor Holly 2 Plus has a good camera setup overall. The primary camera is definitely a great choice for the Holly 2 Plus, with a great 13-megapixel image size. The secondary camera with 5-megapixel gives out on details sometimes, and the quality of the images produced is not up to the mark most of the times. Stay tuned to GadgetsToUse to read the full review of the Honor Holly 2 Plus to know what all is good, and what all is not so good about the device here.
