OnePlus introduced the OnePlus 12 a few weeks ago, which will be its flagship model for this year. Although it competed with major players like the Galaxy S24 Ultra, last year’s Galaxy S23 Ultra model is not far behind in terms of the camera system, as it has a similar setup. Therefore, we are comparing the camera system of OnePlus 12 with the previous model, Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, to find out if OnePlus can surpass one of the best camera systems on the market.
Camera Specifications
The OnePlus 12 features a triple camera setup at the back, including a 50MP f/1.6 primary sensor Sony LYT-808, a 48MP wide-angle sensor Sony IMX581, and a 64MP telephoto lens with OIS. It has a 32MP IMX615 f/2.4 front sensor for selfies and video calls.
The Galaxy S23 Ultra has a quad camera setup at the back, including a 200MP primary wide sensor ISOCELL HP2 with dual-pixel autofocus, f/1.8 aperture, a 12MP wide-angle sensor with a 120-degree field of view, f/2.2 aperture, a 10MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, f/2.4 aperture, and another 10MP telephoto camera with 10x optical zoom and f/4.9 aperture. Additionally, it has a 12MP front sensor with f/2.2 aperture for selfies and video calls.
Outdoor Photography
When taking photos in outdoor conditions, as seen in the above photos, both devices capture impressive pictures that handle dynamic range well. It can be said that the exposure levels are slightly better in the photo taken with the Galaxy S23 Ultra, with slightly better details. However, the comparison in this case is quite close when it comes to the overall photo presentation. While OnePlus 12 has a more natural look, the Galaxy S23 Ultra has more vibrant colors. If the Galaxy S23 Ultra receives an 8.5/10, the OnePlus 12 receives an 8/10.
Wide-Angle Photos
In the case of wide-angle photos, the OnePlus 12 once again struggles with accurate exposure, and the photo appears slightly dull. The Galaxy S23 Ultra produces a bright photo with better dynamic range. The details in the photos from both phones are impressive, and distortions at the edges are well controlled. As for colors, both phones perform well.
Photos with 100x Zoom
Photos taken with the telephoto lenses of both phones look fantastic. However, when comparing a photo with 100x zoom (if you ever want to take such an intensely magnified photo), the photo from the Galaxy S23 Ultra is much more useful due to better details.
Portraits
Portrait photos taken with the telephoto lens look great on both OnePlus 12 and Galaxy S23 Ultra. The level of detail is high, while the colors remain distinct. OnePlus 12 has warmer tones, while the S23 Ultra appears cooler in artificial lighting. Additionally, the Galaxy S23 Ultra slightly struggles with edge detection, while OnePlus 12 handles it perfectly. Overall, the colors were closer to natural on the Galaxy S23 Ultra, while the OnePlus 12 performed better in terms of the bokeh effect.
Low-Light Photos
In low-light conditions, OnePlus 12 and Galaxy S23 Ultra differ significantly, as the former has fewer details, while the latter handles them well. Colors look better on the OnePlus device.
Selfies
Selfie photos on OnePlus have always been a weak point, and although the situation has improved in OnePlus 12, it still doesn’t match the competition. The photos have a low level of detail, while the skin colors appear warm. The colors are well represented. On the other hand, the Galaxy S23 Ultra performs better with the skin, which looks more natural. Details are much better than in selfies from OnePlus 12, and the colors also look better.
Night Photography
When it comes to night photography, the Galaxy S23 Ultra excels again. Despite having a halo effect, it still provides better details, brighter photos, and better colors compared to photos from the OnePlus 12, which lack any details and cannot properly brighten the image. It should be noted, however, that both these photos were taken with the night mode turned on.
Conclusion
If we momentarily set aside the comparison, it can be said that both OnePlus 12 and Galaxy S23 Ultra have very capable camera systems that capture great photos in most lighting conditions. However, with the comparison in mind, the Galaxy S23 Ultra generally performs better, while OnePlus 12 is not far behind.
