In less than 24 hours, OnePlus will finally introduce the OnePlus 12 for international markets, following the initial announcement of the phone for China in December.
So now is the right time to talk about its cameras, OnePlus thought, since it just released a press release talking about them. Let’s dive in, shall we?
The OnePlus 12 will “boast a custom, industry-first Sony LYT-808 main camera,” with a 1/1.4-inch sensor. The size allows it to absorb 50% more light than the main IMX890 sensor used in the OnePlus 11, which should ensure exceptional performance in dimly lit or backlit environments. The company promises that you’ll get shots with “remarkable detail and clarity.” There is also a special filter to reduce red reflections and artifacts.
The OnePlus 12 also has a 64MP periscope telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, 6x in-sensor zoom, and 120x “Hybrid Zoom”. It uses the 1/2-inch OmniVision OV64B sensor with an f/2.6 aperture. The sensor is 76% larger than the IMX709 used in the OnePlus 11, allowing you to capture “stunning photos at any distance,” according to OnePlus.
It is interesting to note (and perhaps significantly), there is no mention of ultrawide. It will be present, of course, but it’s not highlighted, so we believe it will have the least degree of improvement (if any) over the OnePlus 11’s camera system.
The company also boasts its latest HDR algorithm, which can “replicate the interacting effects of natural light and shadow” to deliver “breathtaking photos.” We will wait for confirmation of our tests, of course. The new algorithm “understands what it sees,” OnePlus says, and we’re incredibly surprised it missed the chance to mention the buzzword “AI.”
Portrait mode gets an additional focal length that “embodies the iconic Hasselblad style”, simulating the natural bokeh and flare effects of the Hasselblad XCD 30, 65 and 90V lenses. The 1x to 3x Portrait mode on the OnePlus 12 “delivers true depth of field with smooth transitions between the subject and the background.”
Finally, the Pro mode is no longer called that: say goodbye to the Master mode, while for video shooting there is support for 4K with Dolby Vision.
