The OnePlus 11 is a robust Android cellphone with an amazing trying design and useful extras like hyperfast charging. But lately, cellphone additionally has to take very good photos. The OnePlus 11’s triple digital camera array takes high-quality photographs, which you’ll learn extra about within the full assessment for the OnePlus 11. But I additionally wished to see the way it stacks up in opposition to its most important rival, the Google Pixel 7 Pro. The Pixel 7 Pro earned a coveted CNET Editors’ Choice award final yr due to its specs and very good digital camera, so I knew it was going to be a enjoyable “shoot-out” to find out which one captures the higher photographs.I charged each handsets up and headed off round lovely Edinburgh, Scotland, to see what’s what. OnePlus 11, most important digital camera.

The OnePlus 11’s shot above is definitely extra vibrant than the picture from the Pixel 7 Pro, nevertheless it seems oversaturated, with fairly a teal tone to the sky. As a outcome, the OnePlus picture seems much less pure. It’s one thing I discovered usually with the OnePlus 11 digital camera in testing it for my assessment. OnePlus 11, ultra-wide lens.

Switching to the ultra-wide lens, the OnePlus 11 has once more produced a extra vibrant shot. (See above.) It’s not that it is a unhealthy picture —  in order for you brilliant, punchy photographs of your pals having enjoyable, it will swimsuit you properly. But it is value conserving in thoughts if you happen to desire extra natural-looking photographs just like the one from the Pixel.OnePlus 11, most important digital camera.

Both telephones captured brilliant and well-exposed scenes within the photographs above. But the HDR on the OnePlus 11 is simply too aggressive in lifting the shadows, leading to fairly a “processed” look. It’s once more produced a blue sky that leans extra into teal tones, whereas the Pixel 7 Pro’s shot seems extra true-to-life general. OnePlus 11, ultra-wide lens.

I do not really feel the OnePlus 11 has completed nice within the picture above both, however largely because of the shade steadiness which has resulted in fairly a teal-colored sky and a yellow-green tinge to the buildings on the left. OnePlus 11, 2x zoom.

One of the issues I discovered most disappointing in my OnePlus 11 assessment is that it lacks a correct telephoto zoom lens, as a substitute having only a 2x zoom for portrait photographs. I really like a zoom lens on a cellphone because it permits you to discover attention-grabbing compositions in your environment that is likely to be misplaced to your pals and their wide-angle-only cellphone cameras. In the picture above, the OnePlus 11’s 2x lens solely goes up to now in getting a closer-up view of the buildings in opposition to the river. Pixel 7 Pro, 5x optical zoom.

With its 5x optical zoom, the Pixel 7 Pro can get a a lot nearer view. Check out the Pixel’s picture above. I all the time take pleasure in taking photographs with the Pixel’s zoom lens as I really feel I can get much more inventive with the zoom than I can with only a wide-angle lens. Where the OnePlus 11 excels although is in its night time mode photographs.OnePlus 11, night time mode.

Both photos above undergo from important flares when capturing towards brilliant gentle sources, however most telephones are likely to have this drawback. It’s not likely any worse on both cellphone, so it is simply one thing you may want to remember when capturing at night time. Which is the higher digital camera cellphone?Throughout my testing, I’ve discovered that the OnePlus 11 fairly constantly delivers photographs which are extremely saturated and present heavy-handed HDR processing that lifts shadows and tones down highlights to a typically unrealistic extent. By distinction, the Pixel 7 Pro’s photos are extra true to life, with correct colours and extra satisfying shadow areas that have not been ‘fastened’ (learn: lightened) by the digital camera software program. However, it is vital to remember that that is largely subjective. As a photographer, imaging expertise are a high precedence for me in a cellphone. I need a digital camera that takes extra practical photographs, with extra “neutral” distinction and publicity, in order that I’ve a greater picture to doubtlessly apply my very own edits or results to in a while. As a outcome, I desire the photographs from the Pixel 7 Pro. But if pictures is possibly much less of a priority and also you as a substitute need vibrant, punchy photos straight out of the digital camera which you could immediately share with household and pals, then maybe you may benefit from the vivid look of the OnePlus 11’s photos. It’s definitely acquired the sting in the case of night time mode too. What’s not subjective although is the shortage of an even bigger zoom on the OnePlus 11. That 2x lens is ok for portraits, nevertheless it’s nothing in contrast with the very good 5x zoom on the Pixel 7 Pro, which might be my favourite digital camera lens discovered on any of at this time’s high telephones. The Pixel 7 Pro seems like I’m placing a full digital camera bag of kit in my pocket; an outstanding ultra-wide, an amazing customary zoom and a very good telephoto. With it, I do know I can seize attention-grabbing compositions in nearly any atmosphere I discover myself in and it is why the OnePlus 11 would not really feel like a totally succesful pictures cellphone.
