First let’s see the camera interface, it’s not simple in automatic mode but it has full functions and it also has special mode.  You can see the photo sample, i take the photo in the morning, so the sunshine is not enough. The overall photo didn’t bring much surprise. But it shows very natural. Of course if you choose taking photos in nice light, it would be better.  Meanwhile, it has 5MP front camera to take nice photos for beautification.
