Camera

Question: How is the Itel it1520 camera quality?

Answer: The rear camera on Itel it1520 is like most other budget smartphone cameras. It can get the job done when the lighting is good, but in tricky and low lighting, excessive noise creeps in. The shutter speed and focusing speed are about average.

The dedicated shutter button on the handset is a plus point. You can use it to quickly fire camera app even when the phone is locked. Also, You can keep it pressed for burst capture (up to 40 images).

The camera app allows you to add makeup and other effects to clicked images. This works well and is fun to play with.

Question: How is the Selfie camera quality?

Answer: The 13MP selfie camera shows mediocre quality. All the added megapixels don’t account for much if there isn’t a corresponding increase in sensor size. In good ambient lighting we managed to click some decent selfies, but in indoor and low lighting the performance is strictly average.

A beautification mode that whitens your skin tones and evens out skin blemishes, is activated by default. You should be better off with it turned off, though.
