Camera

Even as a rugged smartphone, the Blackview OSCAL S80 features an impressive camera setup. It has a triple rear camera setup, which consists of a 12-megapixel primary camera, 8-megapixel ultrawide camera and a 2-megapixel depth camera.

The primary camera has an aperture of f/2.0, 1/2.55″ sensor, therefore, it produces better image quality, particularly in low-light conditions.  This camera also uses phase detection autofocus (PDAF) for fast and accurate focusing.

The ultrawide is also quick to focus and capture wider angle images, while the depth camera is mainly used for depth sensing and does not contribute much to the overall image quality. However, it is useful to capture depth information for portrait mode photos, where the subject is in focus and the background is blurred.
