OnePlus 10 Pro vs OnePlus 9 Pro Camera Test: Better or Worse?

[@dannywinget]

For those asking yes this is Oxygen OS 12 on the OnePlus 9 Pro. To be fair I wanted to use the latest software. I wasn't aware that that update brought oversaturation to the images on the 9 Pro. To me this makes ZERO sense 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@iam_Saahil]

Yeah, it's weird but true.

[@kustu]

Yeah the Android 12 update for the 9 and 9 pro was a mess. I think the 9 pro should have the same-ish software as the 10 pro.

[@v3xman]

They're taking ColorOS to the next level

[@Rahat2995]

@@kustu no it's not mess. Performance and bugs are much less On oos 12

[@_AlteredTech]

OxygenOS 12 runs on the ColorOS code base which brings the same camera app from ColorOS but with OxygenOS spice to it.

[@Wolf-hd1hr]

In India, I'm getting 9 pro for around 590$ with lot of discounts. 10 pro hasn't launched but will likely be priced around 950$. So even being one year old, I'll happily buy 9 pro and save 400$

[@techtt6213]

3:09 Thats a huge difference and might solve one of my biggest OP camera issues. Indoor white-balance. My 7Pro and 8Pro almost never get it right and this looks waaayyy better.

[@miguel_simao]

I don't think the upgrade is justified. Everyone can make post-shot editing and tweak the color balance. I don't think OP will tweak the OP 9 Pro image quality to the same degree of the OP 10 Pro, because that would not help to sell the new phone... Not impressed. It's almost the same hardware as last here, c'mon...

[@ReinoldFZ]

That's true. With smartphones meant for enthusiasts in photography is common that a photo will be edited. I have a Samsung S20 fe and I made a basic lightroom mobile preset to have skies more to my taste. And in this case some of the photos by the oneplus 10 pro look precisely made flat to edit them afterwards.

[@davidbezzant9820]

Looks like they have downgraded the camera performance of the 9 pro to try and make the 10 pro look better. Slimmy stuff if true

[@aoyanbarua1902]

Another great detailed comparison from you as expected. The ultra-wide is really a downgrade as it can't do video on 4k60fps also no 8K(useless though) other than that software tweaks of main camera is really good. Little upgrades but appreciable. I hope the rumor of a ultra/pro+ of OnePlus 10 come true with some major upgrade from 9Pro.

[@rmendez011]

Not to mention that the 8K on the 9 Pro is 30fps compared to 24fps on the 10 Pro. They also decided to remove the 60fps option for the front camera in Oxygen OS 12 for the 9 and 9 Pro.

[@victorrumyantsev3718]

Regarding still images, it all comes down to processing considering that main camera sensors are the same. I don't believe that SD888 can't process photos the way SD8 gen1 does/ Looks like it's done deliberately to encourage upgrade. OP isn't alone here though.

[@rolins3279]

Pfft 🤦🏽‍♂️ Just as Samsung did with the S20 Fe to highlight the S21 Fe and give the impression that it's an upgrade, One Plus has deteriorated the photo-video quality of the 9 Pro. This is unacceptable, dishonest, they should be sued for this 😤.

[@marcopn1174]

So we have to expect a camera software downgrade in the Oneplus 10 Pro as soon as the 11 Pro gets released. Thats good to know --> never ever Oneplus again.

[@Garrett1974]

OnePlus 10 pro vs the S21 FE camera comparison would be cool I think.

Sad part is! they can still upgrade the 9pro cameras through software updates and make it even more better then 10pro's current picture outputs but they won’t. It’s funny to think that a thousand dollar phone upgrade is more like a joke nowadays!

Bro! Try the basic first update and make some photos,then update your phone to last update and try the same. Compare them. Sometimes first update is the best but other worst

[@mrtee183]

Definitely an improvement but is it really worth forking out for a new phone just for slightly a better camera, that is the question. I really think all manufacturers are running out of ideas. If things don’t change soon I think lots of people Will start keeping their phones longer.

[@ZPSBestProfileName]

This sort of video is also useful for people who are coming from older variants and want to know if they should get the 10 or the 9

If possible, could you make a comparison video of OOS 11 and OOS 12 Cameras for OnePlus 9 Pro. OnePlus ruined the camera performance of 9 Pro with Oxygen OS 12 update 😑

[@stevencorbo1220]

The big question is if it's the same sensor then why doesn't one plus fix the software on the OnePlus 9 in a software update?

[@stefw0200]

As you mentioned same main cam sensor so it's mostly software which leads to some questions. Your 10pro is brand new and not even released outside China so what software will we get? And maybe 9pro will get it as well. So although your test looks solid and for sure was a lot of work, I wonder about its worth. I hope you'll do another comparison in a few months again but fear that 10pros advantage may be eliminated by then plus of course it still will have the worse ultra wide. So I'm a little disappointed of 1+ this year.

[@MathieuTechMoto]

I would always pick the oneplus 10 tuning natural looking images, i really dislike overprocessed pictures

[@teamrocket1156]

Are we at the point in camera technology where things are beginning to *plateau?* The differences between all flagship phones *doesn't even matter anymore...*

Barely have to watch to see less of OnePlus’s contrasty look and better white balance on the 10 Pro compared to the 9 Pro. It genuinely looks a lot better just because of the color difference to me.

[@techtt6213]

Looks like the oilpainting effect has been reduced quite a lot. Thats a good thing. 9Pro is clearly using too much NR and compensating with sharpening. OP has been doing this since the 6 and I like that this is going away. I'd much rather have some noise in the picutre compared to that weird waxy texture.

[@stevencorbo1220]

If you can get such different images with the same camera sensor then it begs the question why didn't they update the software on the OnePlus 9 pro?

Hey @Danny Winget? Why tech tubers usually prefer to show 4k 30 fps instead of 4k 60? I noticed most of the times 4k 60 sample is missing. Is it more hard to edit or is there other reasons?

Low light is better on 4K 30fps. Also stabilization is usually missing or looks worse under 4K 60 so I just use it.

[@apusista]

Is it just me or is the OnePlus 10 Pro sharper? And if it's the same sensor, is that the processing? So then, is the camera a good reason to choose it over the Oppo Find X5 Pro?

[@cpufrost]

One thing that's apparent with this hardware is the lack of lens flaring and internal reflections that all other flagship phones have! I noticed this right away with the 9 Pro and it carries over to the 10 Pro. This is very important if you shoot a lot outdoors in bright sun and/or events that use a lot of pinpoint light or pyrotech!

[@iamadairjr]

Since they share the same main sensors, I wonder if OnePlus would port the factory color calibration from OP10 to OP9 Pro. I prefer a more desaturated approach and in general OP10 has only software/calibration updates making the difference.

I've been saying pretty much everything you have said for ( almost ) the last two weeks, since I've had the OnePlus 10 Pro ( I also have the 9 Pro too ) Personally, I think it's a fantastic device. Could it be called an upgrade? Well that depends on what the buyer expects from a one year jump, but I can say battery life has been absolutely fantastic for me, especially as the days passed. And RAM management, heat management are both improved. ( I'm not going to link anything because you'll only delete it, people deserve to hear a real life users opinion, in fact people *want* to hear it, I've been asked sooo many questions about this phone. )

Another fantastic comparisons. It's weird to see how the 9 Pro is oversaturating the colors so much. Hard to believe that they are from same company.
