OnePlus 13 camera upgrades official as camera samples also revealed
OnePlus is set to unveil its next flagship smartphone later this month. In the meantime, the company has been steadily been revealing details about the OnePlus 13, which appears to share a lot of its hardware with the new Oppo Find X8 and Find X8 Pro. For instance, only a few days have passed since OnePlus confirmed which colour options in which its latest flagship will be available.
Now, OnePlus has turned to the device's camera hardware. Surprisingly, the OnePlus 13 will carry over the Sony LYT-808 as its primary camera from last year's OnePlus 12 (curr. $899.99 - 512 GB on Amazon). Thus, the OnePlus 13 will capture images using its main sensor at up to 50 MP with a 1/1.4-inch optical format.
With that being said, OnePlus has installed a new sensor to serve as the device's periscope telephoto camera. While OnePlus claims that this change will improve image quality, the telephoto camera will still deliver 3x optical zoom with an f/2.6 aperture and a 50 MP peak output, down from 64 MP in the OnePlus 12.
Furthermore, OnePlus has swapped the 48 MP ultra-wide-angle camera found in last year's model for a new 50 MP sensor. Added to that, the new camera expands the field of view (FoV) from 114° to 120°. Supposedly, the OnePlus 13 will be capable of recording 4K videos with Dolby Vision HDR activated across all its cameras, including its front-facing sensor.
Unsurprisingly, the OnePlus 13 will support Hasselblad camera modes, too. Moreover, the device will be one of the first smartphones to utilise Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, which will be complemented by up to 24 GB of RAM, 1 TB of storage and a 6,000 mAh battery. Please see above for some official camera sample shots. As always, not too many conclusions can be drawn from official images as they may have been professionally edited. Still, they look detailed upon first glance and have decent HDR processing.
