8849 Tank 3 Pro by Unihertz Review

Rear cameras

8849 Tank 3 Pro by Unihertz has the same four rear cameras as its vanilla sibling. The main camera uses an f/1.65 lens and a 200MP Samsung S5KHP3 sensor with a 1/1.4" optical format and a 0.56 μm pixel size. By default, it outputs 12.5 MP images thanks to the sensor's tetrapixel technology. Then there's the 50MP SK Hynix Hi-5022Q ultra-wide camera with autofocus and an f/2.2 lens. The 8MP telephoto unit is third with 3x optical zoom and autofocus, using an SK Hynix Hi-847 sensor. All three cameras can record 4K videos and are supported by the dual-tone LED flash on the back Finally, there's a 64MP OmniVision OV64B1B Night Vision camera with four infrared lights. Infrared light cannot be detected by the human eye but it emits enough light to be refracted by objects and enable night-time vision. It supports FHD video recording. Below we list photo samples from the main, ultra-wide, and telephoto cameras in two groups - landscapes and buildings. For comparison, you can check out the photo samples we've made with the 8849 Tank 3 by Unihertz, which has an identical set of shooters.

Camera App

The Camera app remains unchanged. The main screen contains the three main elements at the bottom - the shutter button, camera switch, and the shortcut to the Photos/Gallery app. The reel with shooting modes appears above those and the zoom levels, symbolizing the main (1x), ultra-wide (0.6x), and telephoto (3.4x) camera, are above the reel. The top of the screen is occupied by the camera settings icon mainly. Depending on the shooting mode, it includes various elements. The "Photo" mode, which is the default main one, has an icon for the LED flash, HDR, and filters. The "Video" mode has an LED flash and settings icon only. It can also be used independently by the main, wide, and tell camera. The "Night" shooting mode uses the main camera and has nothing to do with the Night Vision one. The "Timelapse" mode shoots timelapse videos with a max resolution of 1080p and also uses the main camera. The "Portrait" mode allows you to adjust the aperture and level of skin smoothing. The "More" mode opens an additional screen containing the QR Code scanner, Pro mode, Infrared, Super Resolution, Mono, and an editor for the shooting modes. The "Infrared" mode uses the 64MP Night Vision camera and the four IR lights on the back. This camera can also record FHD videos and you can open the video recording if you click on the button to the right of the shutter. The "Pro" mode lets you adjust the white balance, ISO, exposure compensation, shutter speed, and focus type. "Super Resolution" allows you to shoot in the original resolution of the sensor of the main camera. The shooting modes editor allows you to add/remove various shooting modes in the main list and/or in the "More" section. The camera settings include many toggles for the watermark, location, ZSD, gridline, anti-shake, the straighten feature, auto screen brightness, etc. You also get mode-specific options such as picture ratio for images and EIS, microphone, video resolution, and format for video shooting. The interface for the front camera is largely the same but contains only the "Photo", "Video", "Timelapse", and "More" shooting modes. The settings for the available shooting modes are the same as the ones for the rear camera with the addition of a Mirror toggle for selfies. The "More" section contains a "Mono" shooting mode, "Super Resolution" for snapping photos in the original sensor resolution, and a shooting modes editor. The Photos app is the default application to open and edit a photo. It arrives with Google Lens integrated and teases extra editing features available only with Google One membership.
