TCL 10L, main camera. In good lighting, this $250 phone can snap some nice photos.

TCL 10 Pro, ultrawide camera. Some photos captured with the ultrawide suffer from a little distortion around the edges, but this one came out quite well.

TCL 10L, portrait mode. The detail on this photo is impressive, and it does a great job with the blur effect around the dog.

TCL 10 Pro, Night mode. There's obviously way too much saturation here, but the detail is solid and the photo isn't murky like some photos from the competition.

TCL 10L, main camera. There's no Night mode on this phone, but you can still see it does a solid job of maintaining detail and color. It's just a shame there's no processing to remove all that grain.

Samsung Galaxy A51, Night mode. This shot is a little more realistic of the scene, and detail is solid. It's just a little too drab for my tastes.

Moto G Stylus, Night mode. This photo has the right amount of saturation, but detail tends to get washed out when you look closely at the image, particularly at the brickwork of the center building.

TCL 10 Pro, main camera. There's decent detail here, plus more saturation than the competition.

TCL 10L, main camera. I think the 10L's photo is a little bit sharper than the 10 Pro, but its colors are a little off.

Samsung Galaxy A51, main camera. Samsung nails the colors, but I just can't stop seeing the over-sharpened look to this photo.

TCL 10 Pro, Night mode. This is such a great photo. It's a little over-saturated, but not too much, and there's almost no noise and great detail.

TCL 10L, main camera. Again, you can see the 10L can snap solid photos, but the lack of any noise removal ruins it.

Samsung Galaxy A51, Night mode. Samsung fares well here, but the photo is visibly patchy in certain areas, and the colors are very muted.
