The CEO of OnePlus publishes photos and renderings to show the world his latest creature: the top of the range 2021 OnePlus 9 Pro equipped with Hasselblad camera.
It will be presented in a few days but the new flagship of OnePlus, OnePlus 9 Pro, has already captured the attention thanks to an exceptional camera signed Hasselblad. It is a single component that, however, compared to competitors of the same range – and not only – shines for the technical features definitely at the top.
To launch some clues about the new feature of the smartphone camera was the CEO of the company, Pete Lau, through a post published on Twitter.
The company’s CEO, Pete Lau, published a post on Twitter in which he shared two photos taken with different devices: one with a traditional camera and the other with the new Hasselblad-branded camera. OnePlus 9 Pro, the only one with the cam of the Swedish manufacturer, will be part of the OnePlus 9 line along with two other models, namely the basic version that takes its name from the series and a budget-friendly called according to leakers (no confirmation, at least for now, by the manufacturer) OnePlus 9E or 9R.
OnePlus 9 Pro: the ultra-wide-angle lens
What makes the difference between traditional cameras and the one that comes with the OnePlus 9 Pro is the ultra-wide-angle lens. In fact, it is equipped with a particularly advanced sensor capable of eliminating the typical distortions of the lens, usually present at the edges of the image. The difference appears immediately clear in front of the images published by Lau, in which is represented a building with strict lines and therefore easy victims of the wide-angle effect.
The lens had already been spotted in the presentation video launched by OnePlus. Inside the quad module, visible in the last moments of the promotional clip, there are two rather large lenses, arranged in a vertical line, followed by a pair of smaller lenses, placed horizontally.
The most substantial information, the one with technical data in hand, however, comes from a leak on Twitter. Theprtech has in fact revealed the characteristics of the four sensors thus outlining the profile of the new photographic compartment of OnePlus 9. If the leaked data is confirmed, the ultra-wide-angle lens developed in collaboration with Hasselblad should have a Sony IMX766 of 50MP, much higher resolution than the wide-angle sensors used by competitors of each band.
After that, there would be a 48MP Sony IMX789 main sensor, an 8MP telephoto lens and, finally, a 2MP sensor. Accompanying the lenses, then, the inevitable LED flash and, at the top of the device, what appears to be a sensor dedicated to laser focus.
OnePlus 9 Pro: when it comes out
Photographic compartment aside, on OnePlus 9 Pro there are still more shadows than certainties, given the choice by the company to maintain total secrecy on the subject and to bet all the promotion on the camera with lens Hasselblad. The characteristics of the processor, Qualcomm Snapdragon 888, the combination of RAM and storage space (8GB/128GB) and the screen, a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate, are in fact the result of other rumors spread on the network, not confirmed by OnePlus.
We will therefore have to wait until March 23 at 15 (Italian time), for the official presentation during which we will also know when it will be marketed OnePlus 9 Pro in Europe.
