Remember that we find the same main sensor of 48 Megapixels, the same 3.3x telephoto of 8 Megapixels and a new ultra wide-angle of 150°. OnePlus has not specified whether any changes have been made to the lenses of these modules or to the software processing.

“Image quality is still pretty good.“says Marques Brownlee, “it takes nice shots in daylight and the large sensor gives a reduced depth of field and good clipping of close-up subjects“. What’s more, “everything in the center of the frame shows very good detail and a lot of finesse” and “colors and dynamic range are still good and not over-processed, without being above normal“.

On the ultra wide-angle side, however, the colors are very different from those of the main sensor and the photos are not “definitely not as accurate“.
