150-degree wide-angle lens tops OnePlus 10 Pro’s camera specs

OnePlus has talked more about the camera on the forthcoming OnePlus 10 Pro, in the latest news release about the phone to come from CES 2022. The OnePlus 10 Pro has been officially announced, we know what it looks like, and we know the basic specification, but now we’re getting some finer details about the camera on the back of the phone along with some sample images too.

Top of the list is the announcement the phone’s wide-angle camera will have a maximum 150-degree field of view, wider than the majority of the competition, which usually maxes out at around 120-degrees. It will also have a fish-eye camera mode to recreate the unusual ultra-wide-angle photos taken by dedicated fish-eye cameras.

It sounds exciting and up until recently, the 150-degree wide-angle view and fish-eye mode would have been a first on smartphones, except Realme has beaten OnePlus to it with the Realme GT 2 Pro, which also has a 150-degree wide-angle camera and fish-eye mode. Coincidence? No. Realme is part of the BBK Electronics empire along with Oppo, Vivo, and, you’ve guessed it, OnePlus.

What else? The OnePlus 10 Pro’s camera will shoot photos in 10-bit color using a feature called OnePlus Billion Color Solution. It works alongside partner Hasselblad’s Natural Color Calibration software tweaks to deliver a smooth transition between colors for a more natural look. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen a 10-bit color camera either, as it was a feature on the Oppo Find X3 Pro. To fully appreciate 10-bit color images, you need to see them on a 10-bit color screen, but we don’t have the final screen specs for the OnePlus 10 Pro’s screen to know if it has this ability yet.

We’ve been looking forward to more news on how OnePlus has worked with Hasselblad on the OnePlus 10 Pro’s camera, and we now know it will feature the second-generation Hasselblad Pro Mode, available on all three of the phone’s cameras. This introduces a RAW+ shooting mode which adds computational photography elements to a normal RAW video for higher dynamic range and greater noise reduction. Unfortunately, it does not appear Hasselblad has worked on the OnePlus 10 Pro’s camera hardware.

Finally, also in the camera’s pro mode, is Move Mode. This adds control over the ISO and shutter speed when shooting video, and the ability to record in LOG format without any picture enhancements. It’s best suited to those who want greater freedom over the look of the video in editing.

The OnePlus 10 Pro will launch in China on January 11, with the U.S., European, and Indian launch coming later in 2022.

I adore the OnePlus 11 camera — but not for the reason you think
Close-up shot of the camera on the OnePlus 11.

There’s little doubt that cameras are among the most important selling points of today's best phones. Apple, Samsung, Google, and others trade on the value of their camera technology — from the hardware lenses and sensors to the computational photography AI features. And almost without fail, they reserve their very best cameras for their premium flagship smartphones.
It’s somewhat ironic that as important as these cameras are for setting each phone apart, most companies slap them rather unceremoniously onto the back of their devices without much style or panache.

From a design perspective, there’s been a trend toward either minimizing the camera array — as if the designers would love to find a way to pretend it isn’t there — or just slapping on a bulky camera bump that often feels jarringly out of place.
Granted, there’s an argument to be made for minimalism. Samsung’s new Galaxy S23 gives us a taste of that concept with its three protruding lenses that now stand on their own without a camera bump.
However, as with the Galaxy S23 Ultra, they still sit there feeling uninspired. Nothing about these designs suggests that Samsung is proud of its camera system, despite the impressive hardware specs of the cameras themselves.

This OnePlus 11 camera test really shouldn’t have been so close
The OnePlus 11 and OnePlus 10 Pro camera modules.

Wondering if the OnePlus 11 camera beats the OnePlus 10 Pro camera? Us too! So, over a few days and nights, we put the two against each other to see if the latest OnePlus phone improves over its predecessor.

It’s interesting not only from a basic camera hardware standpoint, but also because we get to see how Hasselblad continues to influence the photos. The two companies have been working together for a while now, and seeing positive changes is really important. Here are the results.

OnePlus Buds Pro 2’s spatial audio makes me want to ditch the AirPods Pro

The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 Bluetooth earbuds are among a half-dozen gadgets OnePlus launched at its Cloud 11 event. These earbuds intend to elevate your sound experience with a rich and highly customizable audio profile, Google's Fast Pair support, high-fidelity (Hi-Fi) audio through the LDAC and LHDC Bluetooth audio codecs, Dolby Audio, and noise cancellation.

While these features have essentially been carried over -- and slightly improved -- over the first generation of the OnePlus Buds Pro launched last year, the Buds Pro 2 are equipped with spatial audio capabilities that help create a realistic and experiential 3D audio space around you. Along with spatial audio, the earbuds also support head tracking to simulate an ambiance that changes as you move your head around.
