Camera

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.

OnePlus 15

The Hasselblad-tuned triple camera system delivers natural colors and excellent portraits, with a 50MP main, 50MP ultrawide, and 50MP 3x periscope telephoto.

Hasselblad color science produces warm, natural tones that look true to life — portraits are particularly impressive with excellent skin tone rendering and bokeh
The 3x periscope telephoto delivers sharp, detailed shots and the 50MP sensor means cropping to 6x still produces usable results
In challenging mixed-lighting conditions, HDR processing can occasionally produce artifacts and inconsistent exposure between the three lenses
Video recording at 4K60 is excellent with effective stabilization, though Dolby Vision HDR video still trails iPhone in dynamic range
