OnePlus 10 Pro Camera Test: Photos Look worthy From the Main Lens
I finally got the OnePlus 10 Pro in my attractive to see how its new camera compares to its top rivals, the iPhone 13 Pro, Galaxy S22 Ultra and Pixel 6 Pro. OnePlus took the wraps off the 10 Pro much spinal in the year, but I’ve only now been able to actually use it. It’s the company’s new flagship named, including some of the high-end specs seen in new 2022 flagship phones, such as Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, a glorious 6.7-inch display, 5G, Android 12, fast charging. the list goes on.
But it’s the camera I’m particularly mad about. Not just because I’m a photographer, but because OnePlus phones have typically had cameras that are rude — but not great. And with the 10 Pro, OnePlus is hoping to up its game. You’ll find three cameras on the back: a 48-megapixel main sensor, a 50-megapixel ultrawide and an 8-megapixel telephoto lens offering 3.3x optical zoom.

All of which sounds mountainous. However, I’ve got this phone quite early, and OnePlus has insisted that I only use the main camera for now. The rest of the new functions, such as night mode, portrait mode, panorama and use of either of the spanking cameras will have to wait for our more in-depth reconsider soon. With that in mind, I pocketed some of the 10 Pro’s main rivals and aloof to Scotland’s beautiful coastal town of St. Monans to originate the test.

My edifying shot was this lovely scene overlooking the harbor. The OnePlus 10 Pro did a mountainous job here, with natural colors and a pleasing aloof of contrast. The Pixel’s photo had similar colors and incompatibility while the iPhone’s had a slight shift in intellectual tone and it looks a touch darker.

Adjusting my state, I found this lovely scene using one of the fishing buoys as foreground. Again, I like the OnePlus’ shot here, while the iPhone’s is looking a bit darker and the S22 Ultra’s shot is much more intellectual and punchy, which you might prefer but it’s definitely less natural-looking in my opinion.

Then there’s the Pixel’s, which is probably my favorite from this particular test thanks to its overall beautiful colors and even contrast.
One feature OnePlus said I can use is Pro Mode, and that exploiting I can use its new Raw Plus format, which uses computational techniques like HDR but aloof gives a DNG raw file for easier editing. It’s sparkling much the same thing as Apple’s ProRaw and I’m a big fan of the flexibility it gives me to adjust colors and exposure in apps like Adobe Lightroom.

That let me take the raw version of the buoy image and get a more artful shot that I’m really pleased with, with beautiful colors but maintaining that exposure balance between the brighter sky and sad foreground.

And I’ve done the same here, taking a fairly drab shot and injecting a bit more life into it in Lightroom.

I then studied around the bay to photograph this amazing zigzag breakwater that juts into the liquid. The OnePlus 10 Pro did a great job balancing the provocative exposure, and I think its shot is pretty much on a par with what I got from the iPhone, with the S22 Ultra’s image looking a bit more cool and contrasty.

And that’s precisely the same thing I found on these amazing rocks that arc their way into the frame. The shots from the OnePlus 10 Pro, the iPhone 13 Pro and the Pixel 6 Pro are all well balanced with quite inequity natural colors while the S22 Ultra has gone a bit colder and punchier.

And that’s the kind of look I’d like to add in editing if I want to, attractive than have the camera do it by default. In fact I switched to raw plus in the Pro mode in contradiction of here on the OnePlus and I really like this moody black-and-white edit I made on this indecent. It’s pin-sharp and the amount of dynamic range captured pointed I was easily able to lift the shadows on the rocks and rule that bright sky.

But the OnePlus isn’t always spot on with its colors — I counterfeit this lovely scene by crouching down in the waves that put some big rocks in the foreground and I counterfeit that the OnePlus’s shot was quite overly warm here, especially when considered against the consistently cool tones of the S22 Ultra. The iPhone’s shot struck more of a balance to my eye and I think it forced a better-looking image here as a result.

I also counterfeit close-up to be slightly problematic for the OnePlus, with this macro shot having a lot of lens blur near the edge of the photo. That lens blur is much less noticeable on the iPhone 13 Pro’s image.
But overall I’m impressed with how the OnePlus has devoted in this early test. It’s difficult to say it’s any better or worse than its rivals, at least at this point, but it’s certainly up there with them based on what I’ve seen so far. Of floods, we’ll have to put things like night mode, portrait mode, its various new Hasselblad incandescent modes and the telephoto and ultrawide lenses to the test as well to see how the whole camera understood stacks up, but for now that will have to wait for our full review.
