• 50MP Sony LYTIA-600 with OIS – good daylight performance with natural, true-to-life colours
• Camera is average for the Rs. 35,000 price; dedicated camera phones offer a better imaging experience
• 32MP front camera is a clear advantage over competition for selfies and video calls
Let us be direct: if camera quality is your primary buying criteria, the Nord 6 is not the phone for you. There are better camera options available at this price range. The 50MP Sony LYTIA-600 primary sensor with Dual-Axis OIS is competent, daylight photos are sharp with natural, true-to-life colour rendering, and the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4’s ISP handles HDR well. But competent is the ceiling here, not exceptional.
Low-light photography produces usable, reasonably well-exposed shots, but noise control and fine detail retention fall short of what dedicated camera-focused phones in this segment achieve. The 8MP ultra-wide is functional but basic – 8MP in 2026 at this price is a clear corner cut. Video supports 4K at 60fps on both front and rear cameras, and the AI suite (AI Eraser, AI Unblur, 4K Motion Photo Clipper) adds utility for social media users.
Where the camera does stand out is on the front: the 32MP selfie shooter is noticeably better than what competitors like the Poco X8 Pro offer, producing detailed, flattering selfies in various lighting conditions. If you want the best camera under Rs. 40,000, look elsewhere. If you can live with a good-not-great camera in exchange for best-in-class performance and battery, the trade-off is worth it.
In daylight, the primary camera consistently delivered accurate colours and good detail. The dynamic range is well balanced even in challenging conditions, and the overall image contrast is good. The primary camera is a quick snapper, provided there’s enough light around. It uses the LYT-600 sensor, a downgrade from the LYT-700 we saw on the Nord 5. That said, most daily photos don’t really falter. In low light, images taken with the Nord 6 have good enough details if there’s enough artificial light around. The 32-megapixel selfie camera takes good selfies with accurate skin tones, and this also continues being a quick shooter, so you won’t miss out on any important moment.
