Good camera results are no longer limited to expensive phones. In the Rp2 million range, several Android models now offer strong photo quality, usable stabilization, and features that make them realistic alternatives for buyers who want an affordable iPhone-like experience. The appeal is simple: these phones can handle everyday photos, light content creation, and casual video recording without forcing users to spend far more than necessary. Based on the available scores and specifications, five models stand out for different reasons, from low-light performance to stabilization and durability. 1. Samsung Galaxy A16 LTE leads the budget group Samsung Galaxy A16 LTE sits at the top of DXOMARK’s Rp1-3 million segment with a score of 85. Its strongest point is a wide dynamic range, which helps keep bright and dark areas more balanced in a single shot.

The AMOLED panel reaches a peak brightness of 2100 nits, which helps visibility in bright conditions.

POCO M6 Pro adds OIS at an affordable price POCO M6 Pro stands out because it includes physical OIS on its 64 MP main camera.

OPPO A60 emphasizes durability as much as imaging OPPO A60 combines a capable camera with a rugged body built for daily use. Its 50 MP main camera uses Pixel Binning technology to help produce cleaner low-light photos with less visible noise. The phone also features a display rated at 950 nits for outdoor visibility. On the durability side, it carries MIL-STD-810H military-grade certification, making it more prepared for tougher everyday handling. Other specifications include 8GB RAM, 128GB storage, a 5,000 mAh battery, and 45W SuperVOOC charging that is claimed to reach full power in 60 minutes. The front camera is 8 MP f/2.0, and the listed price is Rp2.399.000 at Erafone. Together, these five models show that a strong camera no longer has to come from a flagship phone.
