4K Doesn’t Have to Break the Bank! Boogeng’s Experience Trying Out Smartphones Under 3 Million
In the past, when I heard “record 4K video,” I immediately imagined flagship phones with prices that would make my wallet cry. But now, GUYS! Technology is really developing crazily. The 4K feature that was once just a dream, now I can enjoy it on phones priced under Rp 3 million! Seriously, this is really good news for those of us who enjoy creating content, vlogging, or just want to capture moments with video quality as sharp as a razor blade.
I’ve often tried various gadgets, including those at friendly prices. The key is a good main camera sensor plus a powerful chipset to process high-resolution videos. No need to worry about the brand or release year, what matters is the performance in our hands. Well, here are some phones that I’ve tried myself and proven capable of handling 4K video in the Rp 2 million range:
- Redmi Note 10S: The Little One with Serious Results
When I first tried the Redmi Note 10S, I was skeptical, “Can this phone really do 4K?”. But when I took it for a walk and recorded 4K@30fps video using its 64MP main camera, I was speechless! In bright light conditions, the details, you know, are really great! The colors captured are also natural, not excessive. The autofocus is also very agile, so no need to bother tapping the screen to focus on moving objects. The stabilization, although not true OIS, is pretty good at reducing the small shakes typical of my sometimes-trembling hands. If you want to make product review videos on a table or casual vlogs in the park, this is more than enough! - Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G: The Stability is Addictive!
Although no longer as new as the others, the Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G is legendary in my heart. Why? Because it has OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) in its 64MP main camera! I once tried vlogging while walking around the mall, and the result? The video was very smooth, like using a gimbal even though I was just using my bare hands. This OIS feature really feels beneficial for those of us who like to record while moving. So, the video doesn’t easily shake and make the audience dizzy. For those who want stable 4K video results without having to buy additional accessories, this is the most worth it choice in my opinion. - Redmi Note 11 Pro: The Most Detailed with a Big Sensor
If you’re the type who says “resolution and detail are number one!”, well, here’s the answer. The Redmi Note 11 Pro with its 108MP main sensor is not only good at taking photos, but can also record 4K video. I once tried recording a city view from a height, and when I zoomed in a little on the video results, the small details were still clearly visible! Of course, if you want to be really stable, you might need the help of an external gimbal, but for super detailed 4K image quality, at this price, there’s no competition. Suitable for those who like to edit videos and want to have the best “raw material” to be further processed.
