OnePlus is known to be a flagship killer brand whose phones try to punch above their weight. Now compared to the top-of-the-hill flagships, OnePlus smartphone cameras may not be the most impressive, but they are more than likely to prove a bang for your buck. In recent years, the company has also focussed more on the camera department in the way of strategic partnerships with legacy camera brands like Hasselblad. Some of these camera goodness tend to trickle down to the lower end also. So, let’s see what OnePlus has in store for camera lovers.
OnePlus 11 bears the fruits of the Hasselblad collaboration. Besides a 50MP main camera (with OIS)+ 48MP ultrawide shooter (115-degree FoV)+ 32MP (Portrait telephoto 2x optical zoom lens) triple camera setup, and a 16MP selfie snapper, you get 8K@24fps video recording, 10-bit colour depth, and unique colour presets in XPan mode.
Other goodies in the mix include a 2K 120Hz variable refresh rate display, an Android 13-based ColorOS 13 software, and a 5000mAh battery with 100W fast charging support.

Go for this one if you want the best OnePlus phone of 2023. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset and Hasselblad cameras are notable features.
OnePlus 10 Pro may be a gen-old at this point but still holds the top-shelf optics that you can expect out of a OnePlus phone. You get three cameras at the back including a 48MP main camera (multi-directional PDAF, Laser AF, OIS), an 8MP telephoto (3.3x, PDAF, OIS), and a 50MP (150-degree FoV) ultrawide sensor. You get up to 8K24fps recording option. There is a 32MP front camera for selfies and video calls.
The phone also comes with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, a 5000mAh battery with 80W charging, and Android 12 software (upgradeable to Android 13).
