Both Oppo & Oneplus fall short on Image processing software from the likes of Google, Iphone & Samsung. Hardware is not everything. It's like having a high-end computer or Laptop running Windows 95. Focus more of your R&D into image processing after a picture is taken or better still copy the like is Google sunsung their image processing software & AI algorithms if you can You Chinese OEMs are good at that we won't complain.

    the tech nerd, 12 Mar 2021Hopefully OnePlus 9 atleast shares the main sensor, interes... moresadly, It appears that the OnePlus 9 will have the Oneplus 8 Pro main camera. The IMX789 will be exclusive to the 9 Pro
    The IMX766 will be shared on both models :D

      The 8 Pro did better but still not on par with Samsung and Apple.
      Gcam doesn't work in third party apps like Snapchat, Instagram, WhatsApp etc, so I end up with the shitty quality of the native camera app.
      Unless I import the picture after taking it with gcam, but that takes time and there are no filters.

        TheLastOracle, 12 Mar 2021I noticed that too. Maybe their calibration isn't as g... moreThis is already giving people a bad first impression, two pictures from two different cameras with inconsistent colors or white balance.

          Also, Oppo paid for the other sensor recently.
          No reason to buy a new one.
          Exclusive sensors cost more.

                There is this guy from Italy on twitter.
                His posts always turn out true.
                He says " do not hold your breath about cameras, hardware is limited, software is s*****."

                Now I see he is right again. So, OP partners with a cam brand for colour science, but delivery too warm tones.
                Look how the asian woman is yellow, none there is this way. Scene is bit underexposed.

                          I am quite curious. More of the software side of processing than the hardware, as it was the Achilles heel of previous OnePlus phones.
                          Hopefully they will not only put a good hardware there, but they will know how to use it properly.

                                I can bet this phone will replace OnePlus 8 in the "Top 10 by fans" even with the lower score(just like OnePlus 7 Pro vs 8 Pro) What is the sense to call this POLL "BY FANS" if you decide not fans which phone is hotter?
