I saw about 3-4 reviews on YouTube and the camera seems meh. I don't feel this hype and branding affair is going to rake Oneplus far when the hardware is not competent enough. IPhone and S21 take better pics. Period. Enough of Hasselblad nonsense.

I'm thinking neither SD888 or LTPO displays are power efficient. They seem to be power hungry and needs at least a 5,000 mah battery to provide decent battery life.
This phone seems decent. It is a shame the Hasselblad cameras weren't better.

They only shown 2 night shots in the presentation quickly, it was obviously bad.

Hemedans, 23 Mar 2021well said, we need more reviews to prove sd 888 is power ho... moreSD888's GPU has already been confirmed to be power-hog and I assume that's what is costing the battery life on many high end Android phones released this year.

"The actual sensor on the OnePlus 9 Pro is leagues ahead of its predecessor. The IMX789 handily outperforms the IMX689 in dynamic range and low light performance. Trying to compare RAW images captured on both phones, the files on the OnePlus 9 Pro can be pushed much further in post and shadows remain clean even after +3 exposure thanks to the dual native ISO whereas the OnePlus 8 Pro images start falling apart when pushed similarly. The level of detail in the RAW files is also impressive."
Well, that's a substantial generational upgrade that unfortunately most people would struggle to notice. Honestly though dual native ISO should be nothing to do with the reason behind the noise performance, since IMX689 also had the same feature alongside 12-bit RAW capture. The improvement is probably due to better circuit optimisation, more effective cell wall shielding and such.
I suppose this would help a ton for GCam ports.

Sd 888 seem to be less efficient ... Hm.. hope Qualcomm and Oem can issue an update to fine tune the x1 core ... I guess that is the culprit.

Jeremy, 23 Mar 2021Let's see if hasselblad can keep up leicaThey don't play in the same arena.
Hasselblad are amongst the best cameras available. Leica produces wonderful cameras but they're not comparable to hasselblad.

IpsDisplay, 23 Mar 2021Stop trying to confirm your bias
Your resisting reali... moreIf you check each category instead of overall score you can see the difference is mostly standby. Some differences during calls too.
S21U = 17:53h video, 15:04h internet
ROG 5 (144Hz mode) = 17:29h video, 16:36h internet
mi11 (60Hz) : 13:57h video, 11:26h internet
OP9 = 15:19h video, 13:10h playback
OP9P = 13:34h video , 13:12h internet
X3P: 13:25h video, 10:55h internet
Samsung and Asus have more battery. the tree from BBK and xiaomi with 5000mAh for example would be able to score maybe 1h more for video and internet.
** ROG obviously would score less if it had QHD.
Also, the review of 21U says sometimes screen was below 60Hz. This was not noticed on Oppo. They do not know if 9P has software already to make screen go below 60Hz when there is no need of more RR.
S21u would have scored more if the SD unit was tested.
ROG 3 and 5 both have 144Hz.
3 has 6,6", while 5 has 6,8".
R3 wins video for 2h, but R5 wins internet by 2h.
Most difference was phone calls/3G enable.
This depends on how good the signal was on that day. Impossible to guarantee same conditions.

"It's clear then that the issue lies with OnePlus - and now Hasselblad's - tuning of the default JPEGs. If you don't mind getting your hands dirty, you can get so much more value out of this camera by shooting in RAW and processing the images yourself as the actual hardware in here is absolutely top-notch. Even the JPEG files from the Pro mode are generally superior to Auto mode, as they have less sharpening, noise, and more natural contrast."
That's sad to hear. I would like to see some samples from Pro Mode and some processed RAWs! (use the default settings or default and nix some of the sharpening a lot like to apply)

I think the Vivo X60 pro is better

So the telephoto camera lack of OIS which in a telephoto sensor is a big mistake. Not usable at night right? They avoid it at night lol. Issues in software and worse daylight results.
For their most expensive device until today does not impress. Well their most expensive until now. The next one will be even more. You know... "Never Settle..." in prices.

Just seen the video walkthrough or Pro part of the Camera app and it's super basic stuff. That alone is a dead giveaway target market are not mobile photography fanatics but rather average walk-in customers at carrier stores. But do these people even know what Hasselblad is?

Your resisting reality , the power consumption is caused by the snap 888 the rog is also a disgrace in battery life
6000mah and all you get is 110h????? 4000mah phones can do that
The literal WATTs have been tested and recorded and it's hitting 7W basically which is horrible for smartphones
We have enough data from different brands to conclude that the 888 is to blame no more excuses

"I see a negative critique, I must therefore tell the individual not to purchase"
I hope you go to comments of people liking phones and tell them not to speak for everyone and that if they like it then they must buy it...
Let people express freely their dislike/distaste

I feel like the new trend of many flagship smartphone cameras lately is to remove only the chrominance noise and keep the luminance noise plus add some sharpening in order to somehow offer more details on the photo taken which i have to admit works very well and makes the image look more detailed and appealing on the eyes but that is like old news and tricks that could be done since always via software i guess.
That is the main difference between 9 Pro and 9/8 Pro as on the cheaper one there is more noise reduction that leads to less details especially during low light.
