OnePlus 9 Pro Camera Review By The Tech Phenomena

Hey there people, how doing so here we have the OnePlus 9 pros camera review. I did promise it after all, in the full review do check that out by the way that was fairly interesting, but let's get back to these cameras now in a nutshell, I would say that the OnePlus 9 pro has some great cameras, but there are quite a few sacrifices here and there to be quite perfect in certain areas where other phones are not so good at I'll. Explain why I say that in a moment, but first let us begin with photography and initially when I started going out and shooting with the OnePlus 9 pro it was highly, highly impressive for me like genuinely, I really liked the approach OnePlus had taken, and personally I felt like the colors from the main camera were a little too muted. If much rather preferred the slightly more punchy looking photographs. They could get from the ultra white cameras. Speaking of the ultra-wide barring the lowest light night mode situations, this ultrawide has outperformed every other smartphone that I've ever used, and I think it's fair to say this is the best ultraviolet in any smartphone.

So far like I'm talking about stuff like the s21 ultra a much more expensive flagship than this one, the iPhone 12 series, the x60 pro plus, even all of them, like they pale in comparison to this one's ultrawide. It's really that good. The real issue, however, is with human subjects. I mean I've said that before for the OnePlus 8 pro as well from last year, so clearly OnePlus hasn't improved. On that I mean you can take some fairly nice selfies and portraits and portrait selfies, but it's its never going to impress you know.

In my experience I felt like skin tones were never really spot on. Sometimes they were nice sure. Obviously there are going to be instances when they're going to be quite good, but the percentage of that is gonna, be very low and also HDR. Processing with you know, highlights on my face or anything like that. It also wasn't all that good and even though we actually have a three times optical zoom camera on the OnePlus 9 pro, you can't actually use it for portraits.

I honestly don't know why even Samsung had done that when they launched the s21 ultra, but we got the feature later on the s21 ultra here, however, the three times optical zoom is not being utilized. You can crop into two times, but you know digitally cropping in is never going to give you good results, especially when it comes to the fact that portraits themselves aren't all that particularly good from the OnePlus 9 pro now moving on to night mode. Well, this is where I would say: OnePlus has done a good job like the 9 pro is fairly good, but it could be better and there's a very obvious reason for it. Basically, the OnePlus 9 pro can take very good, very detailed and very noise free pictures when it's normal night mode. You know when there is some light, but you want to take a long exposure like two seconds, maybe at best three seconds, especially with the ultraviolet with such a large and beautiful sensor.

It's its quite good when the light is just barely low enough to make you use night mode, but when it comes to like really ultra low light situations, I'm obviously generalizing here, but still you know when the light is really low. Phones like the s21 ultra or the iPhone 12, can take four five and, if really required, six or seven seconds of exposure, it is gonna, be a hard to hold it still for that long. But the results will pay off. They will give very good, very clean, detailed images. The OnePlus, on the other hand, it is never like in the number of photos that I've taken, which can almost amount to more than a 100, almost like 200 images that I've taken for night mode, the OnePlus never went above four seconds and that four seconds is only on the ultra-right on the main camera.

It was, I believe, three seconds that was the maximum and see. That's a very bad limitation. Clearly we can hold the phone still for at least five seconds when the requirement is there. It is also quite obviously the reason why I feel the ultrawide isn't the best out there in ultra low light, and you know really dark situations that crown would actually go to the x60 pro plus do stay tuned. I'm going to do the camera review for that one as well soon enough, so as a whole photography.

I have complaints. There are areas to improve, definitely with the human subjects and a little with the night mode, but otherwise it's its perfect. The overall consistency, with contrast, HDR processing, it's all been improved quite a bit enough for me to say that the OnePlus 9 pro is more than good enough to be called a flagship, camera borrowing, human subjects like. If, if you want to photograph human subjects, then this camera should not be a go-to choice, obviously now videography well. This is where the OnePlus 9 pro spices things up quite a bit.

I honestly believe that people don't give enough credit to the video game here. It's its quite good to see. The just here is that the OnePlus 9 pro does not nail the basics, at least not perfectly, because there are phones out there that can handle exposure, balance much better. That can focus slightly faster and even manage HDR, sometimes a little better. It also doesn't have any HDR 10 plus adobe vision here, so that goes to show that those things- the fundamentals, weren't necessarily the biggest focus, but it's really the crazier.

The exotic features that the OnePlus 9 pro is aiming for. Basically, what I mean by that is 4k30 is great. It's mostly on par with other devices like the s21 ultra, the iPhone 12. Even I found it to be more than good enough. Sometimes yeah, the focusing is a little slower or maybe the exposure doesn't really handle itself quite well when the lighting changes a little.

The exotic features that I talked about those start from 4k 60 and go all the way up to 4k, 120 or 8k 30. , and basically 4k60 is ridiculously good on the OnePlus 9 pro it has grease stabilization dynamic range is almost surprisingly good. Colors are great as you'd expect like it's amazing. It is a bit on the punchy side because, unlike photographs, the videos, this one produces have high contrast and quite a bit of vibrancy, although the color tones are very well maintained. Like surprisingly well, it's its.

Why? I really like the video on the OnePlus 9 pro and the 4k60, as I said, amazing, and even on the ultra-wide, it is ridiculously good 8k. On the other hand, well, this is where it really just comes into its own. What I would like to say is that the OnePlus 9 pro makes 8k video mainstream. It essentially allows you to replace, for the most part, 4k 30, with 8k 30 from the main and the ultra-wide cameras. I think that is a massive achievement, and you know OnePlus as a whole, should be applauded for that.

Obviously, there's going to be a dynamic range loss, but if you can find the good enough lighting condition, HK is amazing. Even in like indoors lighting, I found 8k to be more than good enough and, of course, 8k will produce some ridiculously good detail. The same goes for the ultrawide 8k: this is the only phone that I've used, which has ultrawide 8k, and it is phenomenal to say the very least. It is so good that honestly, I cannot have enough praises for it. I'm such a massive fan of 8k 30 on the ultrawide.

I wish other phones could do this, but unfortunately not because the thing about ultra-wide 8k is that it'll give you very good detail, not as much as a main camera, of course, but the details are really on another level, but you'll also get the stabilization, that's related to the ultrawide camera, which is just so good to have now. Finally, we have 4k 120 as if 8k 30 on the r1 wasn't enough, and it is really, really just amazing. I think this is the big upgrade that slow motion required, because up until now, basically the best kind of slow motion you could get was 1080p 240 and that is good on the OnePlus 9 pro, but having 4k 120 that kind of option it really just makes me want to shoot slo-mo a lot more and if you think about it, basically every other phone can do this. The s21 ultra can do it. The iPhone 12 obviously can do it no question about it.

So it's just a matter of when those phones will come out with 4k 120 and 8k 30 on the ultrawide, and only then can they compete with the OnePlus 9 pro in. In terms of these features, of course, there are definitely other areas where those other devices will excel, where the OnePlus will not. So basically, if you're the kind of person who enjoys these crazy modes and just wants high quality stuff like 8k and 4k 120 and amazing 4k60. Well, there you go the OnePlus 9 pro is the one to go for, although you do keep in mind selfie video on the OnePlus 9 pro is not good. Like no question about it, it is it's just not good.

I don't really have much else to say about it.1080P 30 clearly isn't going to cut it for a flagship, but as far as I've seen, OnePlus didn't really focus much on the selfie camera at all, like selfies selfie portraits or a selfie video. It's not really all that good. We don't even have a selfie night mode here so clearly, you're going to have to just avoid the selfie camera altogether or just deal with it like. I know that the OnePlus 9 pro is not gonna, be for all because it doesn't nail the basics. There are gonna, be people who want to shoot human subjects.

There are gonna, be people who want just good, well-balanced and consistent 4k 30 video. They don't care about 8k, maybe and for them the OnePlus 9 pro is not going to be a good choice for the right person like. I know, I'm saying this many times, but I cannot stress this enough. If this phone is gonna suit, your needs and your desires for a smartphone camera. Only then will you be truly impressed by it.

So that's it for today. I hope you guys enjoyed if you did do with that. Like button subscribe, if you're already- and I will be seeing you guys later- cheers you.
