Finally, a REAL review of the OnePlus 9 Proʼs camera. You honestly did much better than most of the reviews that Iʼve seen since you actually took the time to comprehensively assess this phoneʼs camera capabilities. Given that you are also a professional photographer, the camera of this phone was given justice. Yes, it is not perfect-far from it. But it is holding up well for a highly-priced flagship phone by OnePlus. This a *huge* improvement compared to the smartphone cameras that they have made for the past couple of years. You earn a like in this video from me for the great take. I subscribed, too. Keep on doing these reviews. God bless you, man!
Thank you so much! Yeah I have been annoyed by the half hearted look at these cameras so the whole purpose was to go deep into it for others like me that wanted to really know what it was capable of. I hope I can keep doing it for future phones. Definitely will continue with other tech and creative gear.
I've never used the pro mode on any mobile cameras, but now I have the privilege to get my hands on a OP 9 Pro, and your professional review made me too curious to try it out for the first time in my life. Many thanks for the inspiration!
@@LaplanetArts Let me have a strange, but important question, please: Speaking of these very small mobile cameras it seems obvious that they have a fixed aperture (would be quite difficult to build a variable aperture mechanics in such a tiny size). This way you cannot really control the depth of field (at least not in an optical way). When taking portraits, the default f/1.8 aperture size of the main camera seems to be a decent solution, but what about landscapes where one might want to obtain much wider DoF? I might sound a bit weird, but speaking of pro mode it can still be a relevant point.
Sure I see what you mean. The main camera sensor that has the pro mode and only has the pro mode as opposed to the ultra-wide lens. Is about 28 mm I believe. Even though it's fixed aperture when focused to infinity it still going to be clear. The ultra-wide which is sort of equivalent to a 14mm I believe is f2. Same thing applies, when focused that infinity it still is sharp for infinity. You won't really be too affected by depth the field. But the ultra-wide lens does not have pro mode yet unfortunately.
@@LaplanetArts Thanks for the clarification. Really appreciate it. Yes, I also thought that playing with the manual focus and/or tapping to set the focal point might be used as a kind of workaround here. Gonna play around with that surely 😉
As a very old photographer (Art school in 72) I've always used budget phones because I never trusted photography on a phone. I wanted to buy the Huawei Leica collab phone but by the time I was ready to pull the trigger Huawei had been ejected from the US market. Springing $1,069 + tax is a big chunk of change but I too have noticed more and more the hostility to shooting with my DSLR package in public places. I think this is the one I will carry all the time. For 20 years I used to carry an Olympus XA 35mm camera and I shot hundreds of really great pictures with it. I'm excited, the OP 9 Pro will be my new XA.
Founf this channel on reddit. Great detailed review on the camera. I'm still on the fence on getting the OP9 Pro but after watching this then I might just pick up my first OP phone. Keep doing what you're doing 👍
I'm an architect and wanted to see a detailed review from the point of photography. As I'm considering to but a mobile camera (either iPhone or OnePlus) I want the better camera.
Never thought to have watched the video in its entirety, and appreciated the use of technicalities the sort of which ordinary folks like me can understand. Very good review! Subscribed.
@@LaplanetArts😁there are many thumbnail like this,i also think its a fake video but you really have op 9 . So add your real photo of your op 9 or with you ,which means its not fake thumnail and your video is real.
Finally a worthy review on OP9 Pro camera. All others just wanted to expose the faults in the phone. Good job mate 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. Proud owner of OP9 Pro. Cheers mate 😊
Sure am! Great phone. When you push it hard the battery doesn't last fantastically and that's my only gripe so far with the phone everything else has been in pretty much perfect. However since it charges so insanely quickly it almost makes that problem no big deal. As long as you're close to your quick charger periodically. I am a heavy user so maybe that's just me.
This review made me decide to buy this phone model over other more expensive ones, I hope you could do an updated review of this as now on late November 2022 I can have the Hasselblad Pro mode working with the ultra wide angle and telephoto lenses too... BTW, the "focus peaking" option super useful on Pro mode!
The monochrome and main sensor work hand in hand. The monochrome sensor just provides the color filtering and the main sensor is what provides the detail resulting in higher detailed black and white photos
Great video! I was looking for a phone with a good camera for a while. I wanted the OnePlus 9 pro from the beginning, then change my mind when I watched reviews and comparisons. Luckily I couldn't get the MI 11 because they had no stock. Nearly got the S21 ultra, but the UK version did not have snap dragon. Fate has put me back to the OnePlus 9 pro. Super glad I watched your video as it confirmed how good this camera could be. I mostly used pro mode from my old Samsung phone anyway. So this is perfect!! Thanks!
Watching this again cause i got the phone. You definitely deserve more subs. You should definitely do more videos like this. In depth camera review with phones. Since most of the reviewers basically just compare pics using the point and shoot method.
Thank you!I hope that I get to. Been looking into rentals for phones, because I’m too small potatoes of a TH-camr to have them sent to me or to buy each one that comes out. I have a big project releasing soon about Cinema DNG on mobile and it’s looking great! I’m considering renting the pixel 6 as well.
Wow, what a great job on the review. This makes me double think about getting this phone over thee new see ultra that's coming next month. It looks like what I've been wanting.
Great honest and informative insight to the 9 Pro camera. I purchased this when it came out and havent looked back. It is almost as good as my Xperia 1ii. Thanks again and take care.
@@LaplanetArts I ordered Xperia 1ii from Wonda mobile in Honk Kong and got it with about £300 off and dual sim. It took around 5 days to arrive ! It truly is an amazing mobile. Thank you for replying to my original message ..
I'm really impressed, who knew David Hasselhoff knew anything about making cameras and integrating them into a phone, bravo knight rider 👏 😁 jk. Great informative video always love the content 👍🏻
Amazing video about amazing features of OnePlus 9 PRO, but also of OnePlus 9. Almost nobody noticed those features, and You really know what are You talking about. All the best, merry Xmas and I wish You much more subscribers. I am one of Your new ones :) 🎄 🎅 ❄️ 🎁 !
Thank you so much for the positivity! I try my best and I know that I'm very behind on some of my project videos that I have planned. But as time goes on I'll have more time and better videos to come! My goal is to do this whole time.
Thanks a million for this amazing review, best phone camera review i've ever seen. As a photographer i appreciate that you took the time to analyze in deep pro mode and raw usage. Just ordered the phone. THANK YOU!
Got this phone yesterday in spite of all the bad rap because it just seemed like the best balance of everything I needed. But, I wasn't really excited about it, just felt like a replacement for my dead Pixel 2, just another appliance, this was solely because of all the negative reviews. As an amateur photographer, your video resonated so much, this is exactly what I needed. Excitement has officially arrived. I'll be sleeping with my phone under my pillow tonight :) Thank you! Earned a sub!
@@LaplanetArts Can't wait to start experimenting with the Pro mode. I missed having a manual mode on my Pixel so I had to resort to my DSLR for a lot of shots. It becomes tedious after a while, especially when you don't have sufficient space to work with. I've gone from shooting wildlife to shooting Hot Wheels in my bedroom 😂
Wow, I've watched many reviews of this phone and if i didnt stumble across your video I'd have never known this phone had a specific Hasselblad pro mode, I think however most consumers want a point and shoot camera that does this well without them having to think about it or adjust things.
Wow this is a great review. You can't really fault the main stream TH-camrs. A majority of people never use the pro mode cuz they don't know how to. So they only would use auto mode, and that's what the TH-camrs judge. I have this phone now but I don't know how to use pro mode. I would welcome any link on TH-cam or anyone to explain how is works. Deserves more views, such a high quality review
Great video. As someone aspiring to go into mobile photography, I think it would be great if you made an entire tutorial video on using mobile phone pro modes and editing raw images
Thanks for your review and sample shots! They are dope! Thinking of OP9 but there is a lot of negative reviews esp about camera.. but as I see if you have some skills you'll have amazing pics with this smartphone
Thanks! Yeah don't worry about the camera it has been great. Whenever there is hype about a camera it's popular to just poop on it. But I hope I proved it's worth haha
Great photographer's review. I agree 100% most of the reviewers just glossed over the camera and said it wasn't that great. But even on the point and shoot modes, you can still see some of that color science at work. Most people wouldn't notice, but photographers who nitpick over Canon vs Nikon vs Sony colors can easily tell the difference. However the one deal breaker is the capture lag that OnePlus still has not fixed. Really frustrating. Keep up the good work!
watched MBK's review and was confused as he really panned it because of screen lag and he didn't really test its photo and video chops, then I watched Kolder's video shot with the phone and the Filmic pro app and was totally blown away...this thing is amazing and will be getting one for myself. Thanks for the insight and the detailed examination of the phones camera! followed and thumbs up!
Bro it's a device and it might lag... Even iPhone does and it has bugs... I'm using 9r which is basically 8t and i don't face any lag.... I think lag was due to Oxygen OS 12 which is color OS
Great Video! I just bought the OP9 Pro, because of the amazing Pro Mode to shoot in RAW when i want to. 90% i use it in JPEG to shoot normal situations and it is really good but this 10% of Moments they are worth to capture in RAW it is great to have this feature. Im switchig from the Pixel 5 after sending the S21 Ultra back. I was disappointed about the Camera in the S21 Ultra.
We are kindred spirits. I started out with Pixel 5, then bought the Galaxy S21 Ultra. Totally disappointed - too saturated, and images were soft when cropped even the slightest. Decided to go with OP 9 Pro, and oh wow!! This is the best camera system on a smartphone. And for that extra nuancing, there's Pro mode. Just butter! Totally impressed with One Pro and the potential with the Hasselblad collab.
My sister bought the Samsung and same thing happened to her, returned it and got a OnePlus 9pro said the pictures are day and night better looking, plus the phone it self works so much smoother without Bixby or bloatwear nagging every step of the way.
Yeahhhh I saw 4 "camera" review of this phone before found this one, and i was really boring cuz I wanted to see how's doing the manual mode, thank you sir, really thinking about buying or not the phone 🤘🏾
I ordered OP 9pro two days back and was worried if I made the wrong choice. Camera was the only worrisome part for me as a previous OP user I really love their phones. Now I am completely sold on camera too. Will really appreciate if you can educate more on raw images and editing.
Reducing the highlights and increasing the shadow is what I always do, most of the times with my oneplus phone images. Really happy to see it's done here as well. Just reducing the highlights, oneplus gives such amazing natural looking images, why don't they just reduce the highlights in phones post processing? That's what apple is doind I am sure in lots of certain images from ihpones, highlights are dialled down pretty much and warmth is slightly increased, on iphones.
Credits to Sony for the sensor, with RAW photos you aren't getting anything related to Hasselblad, Adobe use their own Adobe Color profile, even the DOL HDR is done by the sensor itself.
Always enjoyed OnePlus phones, but your review highlighted why I should pick up one of their new devices. I mostly shoot in pro mode now, and this review gave me the confidence to do so.
Exactly because of what you described, the ability to pack more information about light and contrast than a color sensor, I believe that it is possible to upscale a monochrome sensor's image without big loss or noise. Potentially, they might be using input from the other cameras as well, if you used that sensor in the point&shoot mode where computational photography is to be expected (electrical&computer engineer here).
Really appreciate your time and work put into this amazing review. I'm really struggling to find the smartphone that suits me and your review helped me out a lot!
Great review can you do another video showing how to use and set up the cameras and all it's feature's this is the Best camera review I've seen so far great job
Atlanta? Wow. You're in my neck of the woods 🙂 I've been a little disappointed in my 9 Pro's standard photo mode at dusk. I need to dive into pro mode 👍
the phone should shoot well out of the box. Especially for that kind of money. I buy a phone with a camera. Not a camera. I just don't feel like tweaking a photo in Lightroom every time.
It does shoot well out of the box, but any cameras true potential lies in raw. If you're going to take a photo that's important or one you want to get creative with RAW is the way to go. But if you need it quickly the standard point and shoot is still one of the best on the market no doubt. The point of the review was to show it's potential since few have
Great review 👍, Just got the OnePlus 9pro and with the Xpan feature alone the phone is worth it, xpan pictures in B/W have such a unique look you can't get it with any other phone camera.
Thank you! I would absolutely love to, but I'm a little bit too small of a channel for them to be sending samples to me. I paid for the OnePlus 9 pro out of pocket. But I don't think I can really afford to purchase two other flagship phones on the budget my channel's at currently. I hope with enough time soon I'll start getting samples from the companies.
Thank you so much for the in depth review. The camera system on this phone is amazing if not a bit intimidating. Any tips on night shooting the sky? Especially something like the northern lights?
Nice review mate, already bought OnePlus 9 pro seems good till now, also 9 pro have laser auto focus and also if shooting with main camera indoor it doesn't capture light flickering which is really good thing i guess. My previous fones used to capture lot of light flicker
Im basically a photography noob but after i got my 9pro im really happy with the auto mode. After watchin your vid im really interested in learning pro mode, and suggestion for newbie?😂
Awesome! I plan on making a video on shooting raw on mobile, I'm just behind on a ton of videos lol I'd say play around with Snapseed with your raw photos to experiment with it's range.
Most reviewers prefer the camera from S21Ultra probably from past stereotypical impression of Samsung and OnePlus. I actually liked OnePlus' camera and don't understand why most people says it is the weak point. Samsung on the other hand had amazing camera performance in the past but this time it is a bit disappointing. Though DXO might not be very fair, at least they points out that S21 Ultra is not as good camera phone as most people thought.
would you say the 4k 60 on the 9 pro is better/more detailed or sharper than the 4k 60 on the 7 pro? I really love how the 7 pro has incredible details on 4k60 and was hoping I wouldn't lose that if I upgraded to the 9 pro
A late commrnt recarding you recording this video. But, yeah a great, great review. My comment to this would be, the tech reviewers aren't photographers and basically don't have a clue what phorography really is. The thing they do on those "camera comparisons" is comparing how the phones software is processing a jpg image and nothing more. Since the most phones have more or less exact the same linses and sensors and basically from the same shelf ( a Sony xyz something) the cameras can't be technically so much different from each others.
Fantastic review excellent buddy I have a qs i am a photographer So which phone should i buy ~Vivo x60 pro plus ~oneplus 9 pro ~iphone 12 Currently using iphone 6s
Hey! Thanks I appreciate it! I suppose it comes down with how much you like iOS. Personally I I'm not a huge fan because of the limitations it has. But they do make some solid devices. I haven't had my hands on the vivo x60 so I can't speak for it. But one advantage to high end android phones is the more custom options in the camera. iOS doesn't give you full control the way my One plus does. And as a photographer I see that as important.
@@LaplanetArts Thank you buddy Yes thats a mojor problem in ios the customisation options But battery is a problem in my current iphone 6s In vivo :-Rear Camer -48 MP + 13 MP + 13 MP And I actually gas 3-axis gimbal stabilisation Thats a advantage in video rec Lol i sam pretty confused Between snapdragon 888 and a14 😂😂
Honestly you'll get more out of Android, with better storage options, customization, and so on. The processors are all pretty impressive now and the Snapdragon 888 vs the A14 would be really difficult to tell apart.the one plus 9 pro has an incredible screen as well.
@@LaplanetArts yes absolutely oneplus curved is gorgeous and its better thats 12 Well 12 gives my my flashbacks with my 5s 😂 I this OP9 pro is a good one 😀 And which the be best Color pnie green or stellar black 🤔
hey! awesome video, can you do one of these on the xperia 1 iii? would be amazing too hear your thoughts and a comparison with other phones and maybe even actual cameras
Finally not a room nerd kid try to be a photo professional. Funny when after 5 shit picture they decide a camera good or not. Im also a photographer im a Nikon fan.
I wish you could use flash in pro mode. Flash in ultra wide. Also burst in ultrawide. Also having burst in pro would be nice even though you can control the shutter speed. I also wish the shutter speed was faster on the normal camera and ultra wide because when taking a photo of people or anything not on a tripod it's blurred unless using burst which doesn't work on any mode but 1x which isn't wide enough most of the time.
The monchrome sensor works in the same way it has done in Huawei phones in the past, it adds sharpness to the image. You were close to the truth tho. So the monochrome image you got was captured with the regular sensor and then converted, thats why the size of the image.
This is the best smartphone camera review I’ve seen. Better than the mainstream tech reviewers. You deserve more subs!
Thank you! I hope one day I'll get there haha
yup, they only do point and shoot test...

I just bought the OP9 Pro, because of the amazing Pro Mode to shoot in RAW when i want to. 90% i use it in JPEG to shoot normal situations and it is really good but this 10% of Moments they are worth to capture in RAW it is great to have this feature. Im switchig from the Pixel 5 after sending the S21 Ultra back. I was disappointed about the Camera in the S21 Ultra.
We are kindred spirits. I started out with Pixel 5, then bought the Galaxy S21 Ultra. Totally disappointed - too saturated, and images were soft when cropped even the slightest. Decided to go with OP 9 Pro, and oh wow!! This is the best camera system on a smartphone. And for that extra nuancing, there's Pro mode. Just butter!
Totally impressed with One Pro and the potential with the Hasselblad collab.
My sister bought the Samsung and same thing happened to her, returned it and got a OnePlus 9pro said the pictures are day and night better looking, plus the phone it self works so much smoother without Bixby or bloatwear nagging every step of the way.
@@WdelamareC for real?
That's an interesting perspective and quite refreshing. Does it shoot 12 bit video or it's only reserved for photos?
Great Review!!! And dude, you remind me of Wil Wheaton on early seasons of Tabletop. Anyone else??
Hahaha yeah I get that a lot...
That's the same thing they did with oneplus limiting the processor.
It's not a bad thing but the reviewers bashed it a lot
Yeahhhh I saw 4 "camera" review of this phone before found this one, and i was really boring cuz I wanted to see how's doing the manual mode, thank you sir, really thinking about buying or not the phone 🤘🏾
THANK YOU! Everyone totally missed the point of this camera 😂
😎
I ordered OP 9pro two days back and was worried if I made the wrong choice. Camera was the only worrisome part for me as a previous OP user I really love their phones.
Now I am completely sold on camera too.
Will really appreciate if you can educate more on raw images and editing.
Tutorial of pro mode use please!
Best Ever Camera Review 💯 The Real Review
Thanks! 😄
Reducing the highlights and increasing the shadow is what I always do, most of the times with my oneplus phone images. Really happy to see it's done here as well. Just reducing the highlights, oneplus gives such amazing natural looking images, why don't they just reduce the highlights in phones post processing? That's what apple is doind I am sure in lots of certain images from ihpones, highlights are dialled down pretty much and warmth is slightly increased, on iphones.
Credits to Sony for the sensor, with RAW photos you aren't getting anything related to Hasselblad, Adobe use their own Adobe Color profile, even the DOL HDR is done by the sensor itself.
Excellent! Thank you for the information!!!!
Woah i love your presentation so much...and your calm explanation ❤️
Wow so a totally different review when it comes to professionals LoL
Thanks for this video 😊

Just popped into my feed , watched it ... INSTANT SUBSCRIBER 👍👍👍
Happy to have you! Hopefully get more phones to try! Definitely more camera stuff on the way
Always enjoyed OnePlus phones, but your review highlighted why I should pick up one of their new devices.
I mostly shoot in pro mode now, and this review gave me the confidence to do so.
Exactly because of what you described, the ability to pack more information about light and contrast than a color sensor, I believe that it is possible to upscale a monochrome sensor's image without big loss or noise. Potentially, they might be using input from the other cameras as well, if you used that sensor in the point&shoot mode where computational photography is to be expected (electrical&computer engineer here).
this man is next level genius .. respect :)
Wow! What a Awesome Review!
Thank you so much! 😁
Really appreciate your time and work put into this amazing review. I'm really struggling to find the smartphone that suits me and your review helped me out a lot!
What program do you use to edit your photos? On your mobile? Great shoots and review. 😀
Hey! I mostly use Snapseed now
Can you do more of this??? Hit like if you agree that this is one of the best In depth mobile camera Review.
I sure would like to. Especially if they could send me some. I had to pay for this one on my own :P
Awesome video man! Please make one explaining how to use pro mode for us noobs
Great review can you do another video showing how to use and set up the cameras and all it's feature's this is the Best camera review I've seen so far great job
Atlanta? Wow. You're in my neck of the woods 🙂
I've been a little disappointed in my 9 Pro's standard photo mode at dusk. I need to dive into pro mode 👍
Pro mode is the way to go at dusk 🤙and yeah ATL is the place to be!
The best review ever... For one plus 9 pro
Can you please tell me the best settings for the hasselblad pro mode 🙂that will help me a lot
the phone should shoot well out of the box. Especially for that kind of money. I buy a phone with a camera. Not a camera. I just don't feel like tweaking a photo in Lightroom every time.
It does shoot well out of the box, but any cameras true potential lies in raw. If you're going to take a photo that's important or one you want to get creative with RAW is the way to go. But if you need it quickly the standard point and shoot is still one of the best on the market no doubt. The point of the review was to show it's potential since few have
@@LaplanetArts oke ✌🏻
Is there much of a difference between the pro modes on the normal one plus and the one plus pro?
Thanks for the review. If asked to pick one, Which one would you pick between the Oppo 8 pro, OnePlus 9 pro and Honor 70
Very detail review...
7:57 that looks soo good even if it has that weird light ring around the can
Great review 👍,
Just got the OnePlus 9pro and with the Xpan feature alone the phone is worth it, xpan pictures in B/W have such a unique look you can't get it with any other phone camera.
Very good quality review.
Can you test other phones cameras as well, Samsung galaxy s21 ultra, xiaomi mi 11 ultra etc.?
Thank you! I would absolutely love to, but I'm a little bit too small of a channel for them to be sending samples to me. I paid for the OnePlus 9 pro out of pocket. But I don't think I can really afford to purchase two other flagship phones on the budget my channel's at currently. I hope with enough time soon I'll start getting samples from the companies.
Wow! Amazing video💯💫
Thank you!
Best review. True words
Hi I'm here because Oneplus 12 also has Hasselblad Pro!
Finally a real review👍
Hi, great video. So, what´s the best setting for the pro mode? I´ve been looking for in internet, but i havn´t lucky with the information.
Thank you so much for the in depth review. The camera system on this phone is amazing if not a bit intimidating. Any tips on night shooting the sky? Especially something like the northern lights?
Sub and followed. Great review!
Thanks! 😁
Pro mode tutorial please ☺️
Nice review mate, already bought OnePlus 9 pro seems good till now, also 9 pro have laser auto focus and also if shooting with main camera indoor it doesn't capture light flickering which is really good thing i guess. My previous fones used to capture lot of light flicker
Im basically a photography noob but after i got my 9pro im really happy with the auto mode. After watchin your vid im really interested in learning pro mode, and suggestion for newbie?😂
Awesome! I plan on making a video on shooting raw on mobile, I'm just behind on a ton of videos lol I'd say play around with Snapseed with your raw photos to experiment with it's range.
Most reviewers prefer the camera from S21Ultra probably from past stereotypical impression of Samsung and OnePlus. I actually liked OnePlus' camera and don't understand why most people says it is the weak point. Samsung on the other hand had amazing camera performance in the past but this time it is a bit disappointing. Though DXO might not be very fair, at least they points out that S21 Ultra is not as good camera phone as most people thought.
would you say the 4k 60 on the 9 pro is better/more detailed or sharper than the 4k 60 on the 7 pro? I really love how the 7 pro has incredible details on 4k60 and was hoping I wouldn't lose that if I upgraded to the 9 pro
A late commrnt recarding you recording this video. But, yeah a great, great review. My comment to this would be, the tech reviewers aren't photographers and basically don't have a clue what phorography really is. The thing they do on those "camera comparisons" is comparing how the phones software is processing a jpg image and nothing more. Since the most phones have more or less exact the same linses and sensors and basically from the same shelf ( a Sony xyz something) the cameras can't be technically so much different from each others.
I appreciate that! I hope to more in under covered topics like this.
didn't expect me to watch a 20 minute video on just the pro mode
Fantastic review excellent buddy
I have a qs i am a photographer
So which phone should i buy
~Vivo x60 pro plus
~oneplus 9 pro
~iphone 12
Currently using iphone 6s
Hey! Thanks I appreciate it! I suppose it comes down with how much you like iOS. Personally I I'm not a huge fan because of the limitations it has. But they do make some solid devices. I haven't had my hands on the vivo x60 so I can't speak for it. But one advantage to high end android phones is the more custom options in the camera. iOS doesn't give you full control the way my One plus does. And as a photographer I see that as important.
@@LaplanetArts
Thank you buddy
Yes thats a mojor problem in ios the customisation options
But battery is a problem in my current iphone 6s
In vivo :-Rear Camer -48 MP + 13 MP + 13 MP
And I actually gas 3-axis gimbal stabilisation
Thats a advantage in video rec
Lol i sam pretty confused
Between snapdragon 888 and a14 😂😂
@@LaplanetArts soo buddy what u thik I should go
Currently using -iPhone 6s (64 gb)
Honestly you'll get more out of Android, with better storage options, customization, and so on. The processors are all pretty impressive now and the Snapdragon 888 vs the A14 would be really difficult to tell apart.the one plus 9 pro has an incredible screen as well.
@@LaplanetArts yes absolutely oneplus curved is gorgeous and its better thats 12
Well 12 gives my my flashbacks with my 5s 😂
I this OP9 pro is a good one 😀
And which the be best Color pnie green or stellar black 🤔
hey! awesome video, can you do one of these on the xperia 1 iii? would be amazing too hear your thoughts and a comparison with other phones and maybe even actual cameras
I think the same, but people don't understand..
Finally not a room nerd kid try to be a photo professional. Funny when after 5 shit picture they decide a camera good or not. Im also a photographer im a Nikon fan.
I wish you could use flash in pro mode. Flash in ultra wide. Also burst in ultrawide. Also having burst in pro would be nice even though you can control the shutter speed. I also wish the shutter speed was faster on the normal camera and ultra wide because when taking a photo of people or anything not on a tripod it's blurred unless using burst which doesn't work on any mode but 1x which isn't wide enough most of the time.
I really do wish ultrawide was given more attention
The monchrome sensor works in the same way it has done in Huawei phones in the past, it adds sharpness to the image. You were close to the truth tho. So the monochrome image you got was captured with the regular sensor and then converted, thats why the size of the image.
Fantastic review, for a simpleton like me can you recommend a good editing app to download?
Snapseed is a great start
@@LaplanetArts thanks man 👍
Fantastic review.
I really appreciate that!
