Software wise and availability wise global, One Plus 12 is better. But don't compare camera of Vivo to One Plus 12. They are in two different leagues altogether. Snapdragon 8 gen 2 and 8 gen 3 are basically same for 70% of people, as per my initial testing of Xiaomi 14 Pro.

          1st gen is always flawed .. remember when Samsung gave away imperfect 200mp sensors to Xiaomi n moto then kept the best quality ones for s23 ultra??

            So basically Sony's own main camera but in other brands. Cool. The 1 inch type could be use in lower tier flagships to be honest. Considering the new processing in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, the IMX 989 could benefit from it.

            Although I did say that with the new Lytia sensor, getting similar image processing with a smaller sensor should reduce camera housing footprint by a substantial amount. Now they can slap other tech like variable aperture and maybe ND filters.

              I'm seriously looking forward to OnePlus 12's camera system. With the Open/Find N3, OnePlus/Oppo set the standard regarding the level of image quality you can get out of this new two-layer stacked sensor design when it's paired with mature image processing. Natural details and extremely low noise even in very low-light scenes, impressive stuff.

                There is no space for what you want.

                Not even massive phones like Mate 20X or Rog 6 would be big enough.

                  magnaroader, 01 Nov 2023Unfortunately Samsung will always win because of global sales.Obviously, they add advertising to your soup and they have all these famous media outlets bought to promote their products daily and several times a day!! For example, right here, you start looking and they have up to 5 posts just about Samsung things...

                    magnaroader, 01 Nov 2023Unfortunately Samsung will always win because of global sales.Global sales means money. Reviews mean objectively better.

                    Hoepfully the OnePlus wins.

                        Stoon, 01 Nov 2023Why oem don't put effort on post-processing like googl... morejudge after the tests come out, in op 11 things were not so bad, I saw many test videos where the oneplus 11 stood up to rivals like the s23 ultra and the iphone 14 pro max, of course it is not up to par of these but they were not many points behind as happened in other terminals of the company...

                          Darth Caesium, 01 Nov 2023What we need to have is this: •50MP, 25mm (wide), f/1.4-... moreYeah sure, and the camera bump would reach the outer parts of our solar system

                            Why oem don't put effort on post-processing like google ... Those hardware numbers and names mean nothing just a marketing scam for casual users.

                              Anton el duro, 01 Nov 2023It seems like you don't know how the phone business wo... moreYes, because they have insane margins nowadays. It's getting rather ridiculous, and is inhibiting innovation. Although, to be honest, lack of meaningful competition is the reason for all of this.

                                how does the photo quality fares with the omnivision as telephoto 🤔🤔

                                  Just like Find N3's.

                                      Anton el duro, 01 Nov 2023And surely you want all that but it doesn't cost more ... moreIt could cost twice or 2.5× times as much and I'd buy it in a heartbeat. At the end of the day, we are close to technology like this as well. Just look at the patents made that have been demonstrated to work.

                                        No space for proper cooling.
                                        Smaller battery.
                                        Massive price.

                                        Type 1.0 Exmor T may cost 3x more than imx989.
                                        Only cam system of your dreams would be much more than $150.
                                        Then we pair with screen that is now about $90-95 e SoC that is probably around $160-180.

                                        BoM is already about $400. Then you add rest of the phone.
