When shopping for a budget smartphone, one of the most advertised camera specs you’ll often see is megapixel count. But here’s the big question: Does a higher megapixel guarantee better image quality?

To help answer that, tech content creator Benjamin Freeman compared two popular entry-level smartphones — the Redmi A5 and the TECNO POP 9 — in a real-world photo shoot.

Both phones are affordable, aimed at users who want simple, reliable cameras for everyday use. But surprisingly, more megapixels didn’t mean better results.
According to Benjamin Freeman’s video review, the TECNO POP 9 produced brighter images with better overall detail, despite having a lower 13MP rear camera compared to Redmi A5’s 32MP sensor.

POP 9 Images are clearer, brighter, and more color-accurate in normal lighting. While the Redmi A5 Images suffered from a bluish tint and occasional red color cast, which made photos look unnatural. Source-

Well... You may be an avid user of low budget devices but for me, it's flagship, midrange or nothing. I can't use a device that lags anyhow.

Of course the tecno pop 9 would be better. I expect nothing less from Tecno devices
