The Motorola Edge 60 Pro (review) and Realme 14 Pro+ (review) are both popular smartphones under Rs 30,000 and offer impressive camera hardware for their price. On paper, at least, they seem like a close match. But specifications only tell part of the story, so we put both phones through real-world camera tests to see which one actually delivers better results.
Our analysis is based on key factors such as colour accuracy (how true the colours are to the actual scene), detail retention, sharpness, skin tones, and texture. These elements help us evaluate overall photo quality in a balanced and objective way.
Verdict
The Motorola Edge 60 Pro takes the win with sharper portraits, better low-light shots, and more consistent results overall. The Realme 14 Pro+ has great colours and handles lighting well, but falls short on detail, especially in portraits and selfies.

Daylight
The Realme 14 Pro+ captures a vibrant daylight shot with punchy colours with reds, greens, and yellows that stand out across the frame. The Motorola Edge 60 Pro, on the other hand, boosts contrast and shadows, which gives the image a more dramatic look. In terms of detail, the Realme 14 Pro+ is a bit ahead, especially in the sky, where cloud textures are clearly visible, something the Edge 60 Pro doesn’t quite manage as well.
Winner: Realme 14 Pro+
Ultrawide
The Motorola Edge 60 Pro does a much better job with ultrawide shots compared to the Realme 14 Pro+. Realme pushes the saturation a bit too much, and objects tend to look soft on closer inspection. The Edge 60 Pro’s 50MP high-resolution lens takes sharper images that pack a lot more detail compared to the softer image of the Realme 14 Pro+.
Winner: Motorola Edge 60 Pro
Portrait
The Realme 14 Pro+ handles edge detection better than the Motorola Edge 60 Pro, but it doesn’t quite hold up when it comes to detail. Facial features look a bit soft, hair texture isn’t very clear, and skin tones appear slightly brightened. Overall, the Edge 60 Pro offers a better balance across the board, making it the more reliable option for portrait shots in this comparison.
Winner: Motorola Edge 60 Pro
Selfie
The Realme 14 Pro+ falls short in selfies compared to the Motorola Edge 60 Pro for a few reasons. While the Realme smartphone delivers superior colour balance compared to its rival, it doesn’t capture much facial detail and smooths out the skin texture, and its HDR optimisation isn’t quite on the same level as the Motorola Edge 60 Pro.
Winner: Motorola Edge 60 Pro
Low light (night mode)
For low-light testing, we first tried both phones without night mode, but since the Edge 60 Pro automatically switches to a low-exposure shot in dim conditions, we decided to keep things fair by enabling night mode on both.
The Realme 14 Pro+ produces vibrant night shots, but that comes at the expense of detail. It delivers the softest image of the three and shows noticeable noise when zoomed in. That said, it does the best job of managing ambient lighting. Even so, the Motorola Edge 60 Pro has an advantage with a better balance of detail, colour accuracy, and lighting control.
Winner: Motorola Edge 60 Pro
Final Verdict
Between the Motorola Edge 60 Pro and the Realme 14 Pro+, the Motorola Edge 60 Pro comes out on top as the more well-rounded camera phone. It consistently delivers sharper portraits, better ultrawide shots, and more balanced low-light performance, making it the more reliable choice overall.
The Realme 14 Pro+ also has its strengths too. It offers excellent colour balance in selfies and portraits, vibrant daylight shots, and handles ambient lighting well at night. If you’re after a good camera phone under Rs 30,000 that delivers consistent results across all camera modes, the Edge 60 Pro appears to be a better choice.
