Top smartphones with pixel binning front cameras
We’ve all lamented the fact that images taken in low light environments turn out dark and blurry. While low light environments aren’t the most ideal setting for a perfect shot, they can be bypassed by checking out these phones that come with pixel binning front cameras. For the uninitiated, pixel binning refers to an Image Signal Processor level implementation where the demosaicing process combines information from four pixels into one which helps with low light photography, giving you better images in environments where it may be too dark for other smartphones.

The Vivo V19 has a 32MP+8MP front-facing camera that should deliver bright images, even in dim lighting. If you’re interested in photography, you’ll be glad to know that this smartphone has a 48MP+8MP+2MP+2MP AI Quad rear camera that supports various creative filters and modes. For instance, the camera setup supports super night mode, ultra-stable video, art portrait video, super macro, and bokeh portrait. Using a bunch of apps together shouldn’t slow down the system, as the Vivo V19 is equipped with 8GB RAM and a 2.0GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 712 AIE processor.
