Over the previous year or so, mobile photography has taken a rather predictable path, with most brands going for greater megapixel counts and adding a quantity of editing effects and shooting solutions. OnePlus, of course, decided to adhere to a completely unique path. The brand created headlines earlier this year when it tied up with one of the most popular names in photography, Hasselblad (the very first camera on the moon!), and the OnePlus 9 Pro reflects the influence this tie up has had on not just OnePlus' personal photography, but mobile photography in basic.
To start with, the OnePlus 9 Pro does not get into the 108 megapixel wars and rather focuses on hardware that is developed to provide a superior knowledge. Some men and women may well not get as well impressed by the numbers of the 48 megapixel principal sensor of the phone, but go behind them and the possible of the camera becomes apparent. The principal sensor is a massive 1/1.43 inch custom-constructed IMX789 sensor co-engineered with Sony, with 2×2 on-chip lens (OCL).
There is also help for 12-bit RAW, dual native ISO and also DOL-HDR. The lens captures significantly more colour facts than other lenses. What does this imply? Well, basically this: the OnePlus 9 Pro comes with one of the quickest focusing speeds you can get on a phone camera. A tap on the screen quickly shifts concentrate. On the video front, this sensor options 16x the pixel count of typical 1080p, making certain higher detail and clarity. It can not only shoot 8K video at 30 fps, but also 4K videos at a spectacular 120fps, expanding the entire concept of editing and shooting. DOL-HDR tends to make certain the topic stands out clearly even in backlit situations, delivering clear footage. Nightscape 2. is excellent for brightening up videos shot even in low light situations. And thanks to optical image stabilization (OIS), you can even capture a moving object (a pet, a automobile, a bike) devoid of having any motion blur. Speaking of pets, the OnePlus 9 Pro comes with a Cat and Dog Face Focus mode, making certain that your pet's snaps are crystal clear and not fuzzy!

Then there is the 50 megapixel ultrawide camera, a Sony IMX766 sensor that is 1/1.56 inches massive – that's 3.2 occasions larger than the one on the iPhone 12 Pro Max. But once more, it is not about the numbers. The bigger sensor of course implies more detail can be captured but it also comes with a Freeform Lens, which has been developed in such a manner that distortions at the edges of pictures are minimised. When you take a photograph of a picturesque landscape or of a bustling city street making use of that utlrawide, the edges will come out practically completely straight – just as they would on a genuine camera. That ultrawide camera has a further trick up its sleeve – it also doubles up as a close up (macro) snapper, so you can really take photos of objects from as close as 4 cm. This is not a 2 or 5 megapixel low resolution sensor for macros but a complete-fledged one – you get detailed 12 megapixel close up shots, so you can even zoom into pictures taken from a handful of inches away. It has got some severe video muscle as well – it can shoot a time-lapse video, portrait video, and also comes with concentrate tracking, making certain the concentrate stays on the topic, no matter how significantly they move.
There is more – an 8.-megapixel telephoto lens adds 3.3x optical zoom, letting you zoom in devoid of losing any detail, and even goes up to 30x digital zoom, providing you usable pictures even at that level. What's more, this sensor comes with optical image stabilisation, so even if your hands shake a tiny, you will nonetheless get clear footage, and practically no blur.
And then there is the magical touch of Hasselblad. Instead of cluttering the camera app with solutions that are confusing and may well in no way be employed, the OnePlus 9 Pro comes with a user interface based on Hasselblad's image processing application, referred to as the Hasselblad Pro Mode. For the casual user, it is extremely uncomplicated to use, and for these wanting to do a lot more, nicely, there's expert level controls out there, letting them play about with ISO, exposure time, white balance and more. If you are the variety that likes to fiddle with controls, there are more than adequate right here for you.

We left the finest for last – video and pictures shot on the OnePlus 9 Pro look remarkably unique from these shot on other devices. That is mainly because at a time when most brands are focusing on attempting to provide photos that look "pleasant," with typically brightened colours and skin tones (making use of application), OnePlus has taken a unique path and decided to go with the typical that is more organic, and what is noticed by the human eye. And generating this probable is the Natural Colour Calibration method, thanks to the brand's tie up with Hasselblad. You get realistic pictures and hyper-realistic videos. You capture the world you see, the way it is. And the 12-bit RAW format on the phone captures 64 occasions as significantly colour as identified in the 10-bit RAW format on most other smartphones. In reality, even black and white pictures taken by the OnePlus 9 Pro look unique, thanks to the fourth camera on the back, a monochrome sensor that performs with the principal camera to add detail and layering to black and white photographs. All of which adds up to a extremely unique photography knowledge. You get a extremely highly effective set of cameras, allied with application and options that let you do more, and most importantly, anxiety on delivering realistic colours and detail, and not a touched-up version of the genuine world. That sounds practically anything that you would count on from a genuine camera, and not from one on a phone. Mobile photography…just got genuine.
