Realme 6 Pro vs Redmi Note 9 Pro: Camera comparison

Realme 6 Pro is a handset with four rear cameras. There is a 64-megapixel Samsung GW1 primary sensor on the back. Its aperture is F/1.8. The camera setup comes with an 8-megapixel ultra-wide angle shooter, a 12-megapixel telephoto camera, and a 2-megapixel macro camera.

Redmi Note 9 Pro is also a smartphone with four rear cameras. It has a 48-megapixel Samsung ISOCELL GM2 primary camera. It has an 8-megapixel secondary camera with 120-degree wide-angle lens, a 5-megapixel third camera and a 2-megapixel depth camera.

The camera apps of both the phones look similar, but they are slightly different from each other in features. For example, the camera app on the Realme 6 Pro has a toggle button for 5x zoom. In this, night mode can be used with wide-angle and selfie cameras. You can even enable ‘Ultra Steady’ stabilization mode while shooting videos. The Redmi Note 9 Pro also has some nice features, like a ‘Short Video’ recording mode, a shortcut to open Google Lens, and easy-access shortcuts to change video resolution or switch to macro mode.

During the day, the primary sensors on both phones take pictures with good detail, with HDR also doing a good job. A slightly warm tone is visible in photos taken with the Redmi Note 9 Pro. In contrast, photos in Realme 6 Pro come with balanced tone. Wide-angle shots are also good, but the quality and details on both phones fall slightly compared to the primary camera sensor.

There is no lack of detail in macro shots taken on both smartphones, but in our tests we found that the Realme 6 Pro exaggerated the red color too much. When it comes to extreme close-ups, the Redmi Note 9 Pro took better macro shots than the Realme 6 Pro due to its higher-resolution macro sensor.

The camera setup of Realme 6 Pro supports 2x optical zoom. We got some sharp details and good color images. The Redmi Note 9 Pro also delivered a good output with its 2x digital zoom, but a closer comparison revealed that the photos taken from the Realme 6 Pro came with slightly better sharpness and detail.

Coming to selfie camera. The Realme 6 Pro captured our subject’s face with better skin tones and better detail. HDR wasn’t very effective here, but the good thing is that the selfies themselves came out with pretty good exposure. The Redmi Note 9 Pro exposes the background better, but our subject’s face was quite dark and lacked detail. The wide-angle front camera of the Realme 6 Pro comes in handy, as it lets you get a lot more people in a frame.

The Realme 6 Pro clearly performs better than the Redmi Note 9 Pro in low-light landscapes. Photos taken in the dark with the Realme 6 Pro show good exposure to objects. Switching to Night Mode, the Realme 6 Pro’s camera gets better, but interestingly, the Note 9 Pro’s Night Mode photos don’t come out as bad, or there isn’t much of a difference between the two. Shooting at night with the wide-angle cameras on both phones produces poor results, but the Realme 6 Pro offers the option to use Night Mode for this sensor as well, which improves things a bit.

When it comes to close-up shooting in low light, the Redmi Note 9 Pro actually struggles a bit to set focus on small objects like flowers, whereas the Realme 6 Pro doesn’t have any issues. After several tries, the Note 9 Pro finally managed to lock focus, but the photos were not as exposed and detailed as those taken with the Realme 6 Pro.

At first glance, photos taken with the Note 9 Pro look better, with slightly larger subjects and better lighting. While the Redmi Note 9 Pro had good detail in photos, the Realme 6 Pro handled white balance better. If you look closely at the tiles on the floor in our sample shots, you’ll see more detail in the photo taken with the Realme 6 Pro.

When we tried using the Realme 6 Pro’s optical zoom camera in low light, we got some pretty good results. The Redmi Note 9 Pro also takes good photos with its 2x digital zoom, but the subjects in the photo are more sharp.

Both smartphones can record 4K video, but the video lacks stability at this resolution. Videos taken with both phones in good lighting have decent detail, but the Note 9 Pro exaggerates colors a bit, especially blue shades. However, both phones have stabilization to smooth out videos recorded at 1080p and here we found that the Redmi Note 9 Pro does a slightly better job.

In low light, we found the video quality of Realme 6 Pro to be slightly better, as this video came out quite bright. At 1080p, both phones produce good video with stabilization, but this does introduce some distortion in the video. Wide-angle videos look blurry and dull because this sensor on both phones is weaker than the primary camera.
