OnePlus Open Camera Characteristics:
The main (wide-angle) 48MP camera on the OnePlus Open is a first in the foldable phone market. It features Sony’s new LYTIA “Pixel Stacked” image sensor, which captures larger amounts of light without the need for a large sensor size found in regular flagship phones.
According to OnePlus, this new sensor delivers image quality comparable to the Sony IMX989 found in the Galaxy S23 Ultra. This gives us high hopes for the OnePlus Open’s main camera!
On the other hand, the telephoto 64MP camera on the OnePlus Open has been customized to fit inside the slim body of the phone. This customization allows for 23% more light, and it comes with a 3X optical zoom and a 6X lossless sensor crop. The 120x Ultra Res Zoom may not match up to expectations, as it heavily relies on software and AI smarts, which OnePlus is not known for.
OnePlus has also emphasized the Portrait Mode on the OnePlus Open, thanks to its partnership with Hasselblad. The company claims that this mode is particularly powerful in low-light conditions, offering a comparable experience to a Hasselblad camera with XCD 30, 65, and 90V lenses.
How many cameras does the new OnePlus Open have?
The OnePlus Open foldable phone boasts a total of five cameras: three at the back and two selfie cameras embedded in the cover and inner displays. The three cameras at the back are the main (wide), ultra-wide, and 3X telephoto.
