Recently launched Redmi Note 8 2021 is a budget phone with a decent hardware spec.
It comes with a quad-camera setup, out of which the primary camera is 48MP, an 8MP ultrawide, 2MP Depth Sensing, and a 2MP macro shooter. It can record video in 1080p at 120fps. The device has a 13MP front camera. The stock has good camera software but that can be further enhanced with a Google Camera mod.
