OnePlus is sharing a couple of extra particulars in regards to the upcoming OnePlus 10 Professional, this time with a give attention to digital camera specs. For those who have been hoping for many {hardware} upgrades from this second-gen partnership with Hasselblad, it seems to be such as you’ll must hold ready — apart from a brand new ultrawide, these updates are primarily software-based.
To recap some primary digital camera specs that we realized earlier this week, the OnePlus 10 will supply a triple rear digital camera — seemingly the identical 48-megapixel principal, 50-megapixel ultrawide, and 8-megapixel telephoto configuration as final 12 months. There’s a 32-megapixel front-facing digital camera, which is a major decision bump from the 9 and 9 Professional’s 16-megapixel selfie digital camera.
A notable replace is the addition of a capturing mode known as RAW Plus which, like Apple’s ProRAW format, combines the advantages of computational images and RAW picture seize. The OnePlus 9 and 9 Professional supplied a standard RAW mode, so it is a good enchancment for individuals who need to tinker with data-rich RAW recordsdata whereas retaining the superior picture processing that smartphone cameras are so good at.

All three rear cameras can be utilized within the up to date Hasselblad Professional Mode to manage publicity settings and shoot 12-bit RAW recordsdata. We actually appreciated the intuitive Professional Mode on the OnePlus 9 and 9 Professional, so we’re keen to take a look at the newest model. There’s a brand new handbook video recording mode, too, known as Film Mode. It affords management over ISO and shutter velocity in addition to entry to a LOG capturing format that higher lends itself to post-capture shade grading.
The 9 and 9 Professional cameras featured shade tuning by Hasselblad, and OnePlus continues to lean into that facet of the partnership. On this iteration, it combines its personal (additionally Oppo’s personal) “Billion Coloration Resolution” and Hasselblad’s shade science to convey 10-bit shade to every of the telephone’s three rear cameras. That ought to make for smoother shade gradations in photographs — offered that you just’re them on a display screen able to displaying all of these colours.
On the {hardware} facet, there’s a brand new ultrawide digital camera sensor with an excessive 150-degree subject of view — someplace within the ballpark of 5mm in 35mm phrases. If you wish to actually go for a dramatic shot, this lens can be utilized together with a brand new fisheye mode. For a barely narrower view, the ultrawide affords a 110-degree mode, which is nearer to the 14mm equal supplied by the 9 and 9 Professional, and makes use of AI distortion correction.
There’s another {hardware} change to notice: it seems to be like OnePlus dropped the monochrome digital camera. This was a low-resolution chip that was included in earlier fashions to help when capturing black-and-white photographs. That was the declare, anyway. We struggled to search out it making any distinction in monochrome photographs and my colleague Jon Porter has bemoaned its existence for years, describing it at turns as “baffling” and “pointless.” The renders of the ten Professional that we’ve seen to date present three useful-looking cameras together with a flash and nothing that appears like just a little monochrome sensor in sight. If that’s the case: farewell, monochrome digital camera, we hardly knew what ye did.
Exterior of digital camera updates, what we’ve realized in regards to the OnePlus 10 Professional thus far is no surprise in any respect. It should include a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, a 120Hz display screen, and 50W wi-fi charging — according to earlier OnePlus flagships and checking all of the “2022 Android flagship” containers. It’s on account of launch on January eleventh in China with availability in different areas later this 12 months.
