CloudFone Next vs Cherry Mobile M1 - Main Camera Photography Comparison!

In this lighting condition, both phones badly performed in using the HDR mode. While the colors of Next has more saturation and looks better, Cherry's M1 retained more details and has less overexposure. M1 - 1 point

Scene 2 - Outdoor Auto

On this daylight scene, the Next has a slightly greener tone but closer to natural feel with barely blowout background details. On the other hand, the M1 has more details, but has a more un-natural pinkish discolorization and more blown-out background details. So the Next barely takes this round. Next - 1 point

On this 3rd scene, we took a photo of a random cat. Again the colors of the Next has nicer appeal in the eyes (saturated) and has shallower depth of field, but the M1 handled this situation better. It retained more details with proper background exposure. M1 - 2 points

Scene 4 - Indoor dim light

In lowlight indoor situation, the Next is over saturated, but retained most of the details. On the other hand, the I had a hard time focusing using the M1 and it resulted into pinkish photo with over exposure. Next - 2 points

Scene 5 - Night

The clear winner in this situation is the photo taken using Next. It is brighter, sharper, and has better color accuracy. The M1 was able to produce more light in the background, but it is noiser and it turned colors into green. Next - 3 points

Verdict

To sum it up, both local flagship phones are really capable shooters for photography. There are times that the M1 edges the Next in daylight, but in our test Next performed better in lowlight and has nicer colors in the eyes. The results were close, but Next is the winner by a point in our test.
