Realme 14 pro+ test: style and promises, at content price

Grand-angle main module: 50 Mpx, f/1.8, eq. 24 mm

The main sensor (1/1.56 “, 1.0 µm, multidirectional pdaf, Ois) delivers very satisfactory shots when the light conditions are good. We have particularly appreciated the very good general colorimetry. The level of detail is correct overall, even if we observe a slight loss of dive in the corners of the image. Dynamics management is in the right average.

When the brightness drops, the photographic performance of the smartphone remains decent with regard to its pedigree. If he does not play in the courtyard of the night photo, he still manages to keep an honest level of details and produces usable shots. We were even quite amazed by the quality of the dedicated night mode; The main sensor does remarkable work under these difficult conditions.

Ultra-large-angle module: 8 MPX, F/2.2, eq. 16 mm

The performance of the ultra-large-angle module (1/4.0 “, 1.12 µm) is more problematic. If the colorimetry remains consistent with that of the main module, and therefore rather good, this is not the case with the level of detail. In a rather surprising way, it is really at the center of the image that the loss of sharpness is most felt, as evidenced by the very approximate restitution Test Mire.

In a dark environment, the observation is even more severe, with a level of details that collapse. This is unanimously considered to be the weak point of this photo block. If his shots seem to be fairly bright at first compared to those of a competitor like the Google Pixel 9a, we quickly realize that it is at the expense of the level of detail, with a pronounced smoothing.

Telephoto module: 50 MPX, F/2.7, eq. 73 mm

Fortunately, by day, the periscopic telephoto lens (1/1.95 “, 0.8 µm, multidirectional pdaf, Ois) catches up with the poor performance of the ultra-large-angle. Its simple presence is sufficient to give a beautiful competitive advantage to the latest baby of Realme, insofar as it is the only one among its main competitors to offer a real period That this component is not just there to fill the technical sheet.

His shots benefit from very good colorimetry and a completely satisfactory level of details for a 3X optical zoom on this pricing segment. The whole is comfortable for portraits, managing the complexion of the skin and reflections on the face. When brightness declines, the telephoto lens manages to maintain an honorable image quality, well helped by its optical stabilization.

Front module, portrait and video mode

At the front, the 32 MP sensor (f/2.0, 21 mm, 1/2.74 “, 0.8 µm) produces very good selfies. The addition of an autofocus with follow -up of the face and eyes is very effective and relevant to ensure clarity.

On the video side, the smartphone can film up to 4K at 30 frames per second, whether with the rear or front sensors. Electronic stabilization is available on both sides, while the main rear and telephotal modules benefit in addition from optical stabilization (OIS).
