OnePlus recently introduced their flagship model for this year, the OnePlus 12, competing against the likes of the Galaxy S23 Ultra. While last year’s Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is not too far behind in terms of camera performance, we compare the camera system of the OnePlus 12 with the previous generation model to see 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 also sports a 32MP IMX615 f/2.4 front-facing sensor for selfies and video calls.
The Galaxy S23 Ultra, on the other hand, boasts a quad-camera setup at the rear, consisting of a 200MP primary wide sensor (ISOCELL HP2) with dual-pixel autofocus, an f/1.8 aperture, a 12MP wide-angle sensor with a 120-degree field of view and f/2.2 aperture, a 10MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom and f/2.4 aperture, and another 10MP telephoto lens with 10x optical zoom and f/4.9 aperture. It also features a 12MP front-facing sensor with an f/2.2 aperture for selfies and video calls.
Outdoor Photography
When it comes to capturing photos in outdoor conditions, both devices produce impressive images that excel in dynamic range. The Galaxy S23 Ultra tend to have slightly better exposure levels and more details compared to the OnePlus 12. However, the overall presentation of the photos remains fairly competitive. While the OnePlus 12 offers a more natural look, the Galaxy S23 Ultra exhibits more vibrant color tones. If the Galaxy S23 Ultra receives an 8.5/10 for outdoor photography, the OnePlus 12 would score an 8/10.
Wide-Angle Shots
In terms of wide-angle shots, the OnePlus 12 struggles a bit with accurate exposure and the images may appear slightly dull. On the other hand, the Galaxy S23 Ultra produces brighter images with better dynamic range. Both phones manage to capture impressive details with well-controlled edge distortions. When it comes to color reproduction, both phones perform decently.
100x Zoom
Both phones produce fantastic results when it comes to telephoto shots. However, when comparing an image taken with 100x zoom (if you ever want to capture an image that highly magnified), the Galaxy S23 Ultra’s image is far more useful, thanks to superior details.
Portraits
Portrait shots using the telephoto lens appear great on both the OnePlus 12 and Galaxy S23 Ultra. The level of detail is high, while the colors remain distinct. The OnePlus 12 tends to have warmer tones, whereas the S23 Ultra appears cooler in artificial lighting. Additionally, the Galaxy S23 Ultra struggles slightly in edge detection, while the OnePlus 12 handles it excellently. Overall, colors appear closer to natural on the Galaxy S23 Ultra, while the OnePlus 12 excels in bokeh effect.
Low-Light Photography
In low-light conditions, there is a noticeable difference between the OnePlus 12 and the Galaxy S23 Ultra. The OnePlus 12 captures images with reduced details, while the Galaxy S23 Ultra handles low-light situations better, with better detail retention. However, color reproduction appears better on the OnePlus 12.
Selfies
Selfie photos from OnePlus devices have always been a weak point, and although there is some improvement with the OnePlus 12, it still falls short compared to the competition. Selfies taken with the OnePlus 12 exhibit low levels of detail, while skin tones remain warm. Nonetheless, color reproduction is accurate. On the other hand, the Galaxy S23 Ultra performs better in capturing skin tones that appear closer to natural. Details are significantly better compared to the OnePlus 12, and colors also appear more pleasing.
Night Mode Photography
In night photography, the Galaxy S23 Ultra once again comes out on top. Despite some halo effect, it still delivers better detail, brighter shots, and improved colors compared to the OnePlus 12, which lacks details and struggles with proper exposure. It is worth noting that both shots were captured using night mode.
Conclusion
Without the comparison, it can be said that both OnePlus 12 and Galaxy S23 Ultra possess highly capable camera systems and capture great photos in most lighting conditions. However, when the comparison is taken into account, the Galaxy S23 Ultra outshines the OnePlus 12 in most scenarios, although the OnePlus 12 is not far behind.
