iPhone 17 vs OnePlus 13

iPhone 17

The 48MP main + 12MP ultrawide dual camera delivers impressive results with improved computational photography, though the lack of telephoto remains the biggest gap versus Pro.

• The 48MP main camera produces sharp, well-exposed photos with excellent color science that is nearly indistinguishable from Pro in good light
• The new 24MP TrueDepth front camera is a standout — selfie quality takes a major leap with better detail and more natural skin tones
• No telephoto means digital zoom only beyond 2x, which produces noticeably softer results than the Pro optical zoom

OnePlus 13

A major step up for OnePlus cameras, though still not quite matching Apple and Samsung's best.

• The Hasselblad color science produces natural, film-like images that many will prefer over Samsung's punchy processing.
• Low-light performance has improved dramatically but still falls slightly behind the iPhone 16 Pro in challenging conditions.
