OnePlus He has always built his reputation on fast, fluid and reliable smartphones, capable of giving solid use experiences even after years. But if there was an Achilles heel, that was undoubtedly the photographic sector: good, often more than enough, but rarely at the level of the best competitors. With OnePlus 15 The Chinese company finally wants to change the cards on the table.
In the past few hours, the first official photographic samples have arrived, images shared directly by OnePlus itself to show off the progress of the new system “Lumo”developed internally to improve chromatic yield, sharpness and naturalness of portraits. And the first impressions, although to be evaluated with caution, suggest a concrete step forward: more push canvases, more mature software and a hardware at 2025.
OnePlus 15 camera: more zoom, new imaging and many promises
Looking at the data that emerged from the first shots shared by OnePlus, the most evident change concerns the camera canvase. The focal length passes to 85 mm equivalent, equal to one optical zoom 3.7x compared to the 24 mm of the main chamber. The previous model, OnePlus 13, stopped at 70 mm (3x net), therefore the increase is sensitive and will allow you to get closer to distant subjects without having to resort to digital crops. On the other hand, The opening of the lens was slightly reduced From f/2.6 AF/2.8: a compromise that, at least on paper, could bring less light on the sensor. This means that in low light conditions, the phone will have to count on more advanced sensors, a more powerful ISP and increasingly refined processing algorithms to maintain quality.
The new system comes into play right here “Lumo”which represents the evolution of OnePlus’ path in the field of humaging. It is not just a brand, but of A set of software and hardware optimizations aimed at returning more natural images, less “filtered” and closer to the human eye. The official samples confirm well balanced portraits, without too pushed colors and with a pleasant bokeh, while group scenes show greater dynamism and a more balanced light management. It is clear that the photos shown have been taken by professionals with optimal conditions, but they still give the idea of a significant leap forward compared to the past.
On a technical level, the canvase remains at 50 MP, probably with a slightly smaller sensor, but flanked by a main and an ultra-glandner also from 50 MP. Complete the picture one 7,000 mAh battery with Wireless charging at 50 Wone 6.78 ″ OLED screen with Refresh at 165 Hz And above all, the new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Of Qualcommwhich promises new generation artificial power and artificial intelligence also to the service of computational photography.
OnePlus 15 will be officially presented in China by the end of October, with an international launch still to be confirmed. For now, the impression of a finally more complete smartphone remains, capable of maintaining the historic fluidity of the brand without sacrificing the quality of the photos. If the promises are kept, we could have one of the best Chamber of whom in the hands of 2025.
