We tested the OnePlus 15’s cameras

The OnePlus 15 just went official in China today, and is expected to hit international markets next month. Earlier, we were lucky enough to shoot some camera samples with the OnePlus 15 around Prague in the Czech Republic. So here they are.

The OnePlus 15 ditches its predecessor’s Hasblad co-branding in favor of the company’s own self-developed details engine, billed as its new era of computational imaging focused on delivering “clear and true” images (these are OnePlus’ words). So we put it to the test, let’s start with images from the main camera during the day.

We’ll refrain from judging them, expect our full thoughts in our comprehensive review of the OnePlus 15, coming soon. Next, we have the 2x zoom samples.

The viewfinder also offers 3.5x magnification, so naturally we tested that as well.

But the viewfinder also has a 7x option, so we can’t help but see how such images look.

The zoom slider actually goes all the way up to 120x, and we even captured a few shots using that crazy magnification level (which is most likely better anyway).

Now let’s turn our attention to the ultra-wide camera, here is its output.

We also took some night shots at all the above magnification levels. Note that these are all in auto mode, no dedicated night mode was used (but most shots used some form of automatic night mode). Starting with the main camera:

Then jump to 2x zoom.

And here are some 3.5x zoom shots at night.

Of course we also tested how the 7x zoom images would look at night.

And ultrawide too.

Finally, we took selfies during the day and two at night (the first one without flash, the second one employs on-screen flash, the difference is quite obvious).

Finally, we will say that OnePlus’ decision to end its partnership with Hasselblad is certainly an interesting one, and it remains to be seen how people will react to it. The company says the Detail Max Engine promises to keep Hasselblad’s “refined aesthetic sense” as part of its DNA, “built into every future OnePlus camera”.

We’ll be able to tell you what we think of them all once we’ve grabbed our usual review shots, so stay tuned for our full review of the OnePlus 15.
