Teclast P26T review – Opinions differ about the budget tablet

Most of the time, you cannot expect much from a camera module of an affordable tablet. This is also the case with the Teclast P26T. Its selfie camera has a 2-MP resolution, and its pictures are not very sharp or bright even in good light conditions.

Even though the image quality of the selfie camera is mostly sufficient for video chats, you also have to be willing to accept some compromises. To use the selfie camera, you should hold the P26T in portrait orientation. Since the camera is positioned to the left of the display, you can only see yourself in landscape orientation, if you hold the tablet in front of yourself shifted toward the right side. This can become quite uncomfortable particularly for longer video chats.

The main camera offers a 5-MP resolution and an LED flash. The second lens that is placed below looks exactly the same but is only used as a depth sensor. It has a 0.3-MP resolution and collects additional information for blurring effects.

Blurriness is also the word to describe the image quality, since the main camera noticeably lacks some sharpness. The images appear pale overall and often include color edges or spotty areas. The color reproduction, on the other hand, appears natural. The 5-MP camera surrenders completely in weak light conditions, only producing dark and blurry pictures. 

The main camera can record videos in a maximum resolution of 1080p at 30 frames per second. But the pale and blurry images make the recordings hardly usable.
