OnePlus 3 Camera: Can It Compete With the Best?

2016-06-24
what's going on guys Ron pretty here from TechnoBuffalo and over the last couple of weeks oneplus feels like they shook up the world with a brand new 1+3 it is as they have done before a budget phone with flagship specs designed to shake up the smartphone world then break up the hierarchy a little bit one of the most important things we look at when reviewing a smartphone is the camera so before bringing you guys the full review of the oneplus 3 we wanted to do a little camera comparison not a direct comparison but more so to see if the 1 + 3 which is a lower budget phone if it can hang with the big boys such as the Samsung Galaxy s7 and the iPhone 6s so while I'm not at all a fan of specs let's address what the one poster is packing on the back you have a 16 megapixel camera whereas on the samsung galaxy s7 and the iPhone 6s you're looking at 12 megapixel shooters f 2.0 on the 1 + 3 f 2.2 on the iPhone and an F 1.7 on the Samsung Galaxy a7 but specs out of the way let's talk about picture quality in the actual experience of shooting now this is reliant on how I like to take photos and one of my favorite things to do is to shoot into lights I love backlit photos I love shooting directly in the lamps I love flares so bear that in mind and in this situation will blew me away was actually the 1 + 3 looked better than the Samsung Galaxy s7 and in a lot of cases look better than the iPhone 6s if I had to break up the 3 and describe each of them this is the general explanation I would give the iPhone 6s is not as sharp as the Samsung is or the 1 plus 3 is but the light rendition the skin tone rendition is much better the highlight roll-off is smoother the shadow roll off is smoother and they even just come out a little bit flatter looking the Samsung Galaxy s7 which has been noted for a while now has a lot of pop coming out of its images it's the way Samsung likes to process their images become a very vibrant very saturated and very sharp however the sharpness which normally seems fine to me compared to the 1 + 3 almost looked artificial this is obviously explainable by the higher megapixel count on the oneplus three but well one plus has done is find a happy medium but between both the 6s and the s7 it takes the best parts of the 6s which is skin tone and highlight roll off and then take the best aspects of the s7 which are true sharpness and just that intangible pop and fuses it into an amazing camera experience if you want a visual example of what I love about the 1 plus 3 camera so much take a look at this photo this ceiling lamp has a bulb that bleeds into pure white if you look on the Samsung image and the iPhone image there's a distinctive point where the image goes from lighter lighter and then snaps into white where you lose all the detail if you look on the oneplus 3 that roll-off is so smooth and so buttery it's a lot easier on the eyes and there's no distinctive moment where you lose all the detail one of the most common things people love talking about in regards to cameras and I think it's a little bit overrated is depth of field and acquiring that shallow depth of field now we are talking about bones please bear that in mind so the differences are really marginal depth of field is relying on two things number one being sensor size the aesthetic of the depth of field and the aesthetic of the blur and then you have your aperture size so you have your f-stop of 1.7 in the s7 you have 2.2 on the other end with the iPhone and you have the 1 plus 3 which falls in the middle it really is a negligible difference because the iPhone which has an F 2.2 the slowest aperture has the biggest sensor a 1/3 inch sensor in a samsung galaxy s7 which has an F 1.7 lens has the smallest sensor which is a 1 by 2 point 6 inch sensor and the one post we followed right in between the two of these with an F 2.0 lens and a 1 by 2 point 8 inch sensor so realistically you can get a shallow depth of field with all three of these phones to the same extent it just goes to further show that the oneplus blue really belongs in this category and so that's pretty much it for this video guys obviously we did not cover everything we left out things like low-light and shutter speed responses video and front-facing camera all of which we can cover in a part two if you would like that video give us a thumbs up to show your support and we will try our best to bring it to you very soon our review of the one plus three is coming as well early next week so please stay tuned for that thank you again so much for watching
