OnePlus 9 Pro Camera vs OnePlus 8 Pro After Updates: Better or Worse?

If you already enjoy the OnePlus 8 Pro Camera experience do you need to upgrade to the OnePlus 9 Pro Camera? The Oneplus 8 pro vs OnePlus 9 pro camera test was heavily requested to see if its worth it. The OnePlus 9 pro camera update was pushed after I did this video so I went back out and took more pictures to make sure the video is as current as possible. The Oneplus 9 pro review and more oneplus 9 pro camera reviews in the form of camera test comparisons are on the way. Who do you think won?

Which one do you like most? Is the OnePlus 9 Pro Camera worth the upgrade especially with the second camera update? Or is the OnePlus 8 Pro good for another year?

@@jamespadolina9879 S20 Ultra? That shit is outdated compared to the other 2.

[@daasguy99]

The differences are so minimal to us average people. I don’t see any justification of charging more one plus 9 pro. No one zooms in to check picture, you don’t have the time or patience. Get 8pro and save some 💵

[@betonscheitel8635]

I prefere the OP8pro in daytime because the 9pro crushes the shadows in some pictures. 2:30 tree trunk on the left 2:39 trees in the background, people sitting in the chair 4:03 again trees and the building. And it is much to saturated in my opinion. I don´t like the water color

[@liefannie4738]

Huawei Mate 20 Pro from 2018 is still competitive haha. It has all the versetality you need, night mode, ultrawide lens, 3x zoom, OIS. Only thing bad about it is the 4k recording and selfie camera. Buy a flagship that could have features for the future use. Not one like Oneplus, which doesn't offer anything futuristic.

[@jiriq8853]

I like the 8 a bit more - less oversharpening and I prefer the colors and white balance

[@RennieAsh]

Seems like it would naturally have a little more detail, so it’s a pity they added that much sharpening. Makes photos look crunchy imo especially with trees

[@sadaf2775]

Man u're so dedicated and energetic! Continuously giving us comparisons after comparisons and help us choosing the best out of them. You even bothered to make another comparison after the update that's another level. I love ur videos.

The 8 Pro has a fantastic camera. Some of the picture preferences are subjective, but the 9 Pro isn't an overwhelming upgrade.

[@achel2006]

I just got the op8 pro but camera wasn't what I expected and I'm thinking getting rid of it...what do you suggest me? I had a pixel 4 xl before the op8 pro

[@MystiKal76]

@@achel2006 I only got my OP Pro recently, as an upgrade from the 6t. I think the photo and video is very good. If you want, try a GCam apk and try out the Google Pixel Camera software on the OP. I only have one use the Pixel Camera for 4K 60fps video recording, as you can get that for longer than 5 mins of recording.

[@adarshyadav5926]

@@achel2006 if you like fluidity, snappy performance of your OnePlus, keep it but if you want a better camera phone, get rid of it. Buy Note 20 Ultra/ S21 Ultra or even the iPhone 11 or 12

[@onee]

I disagree. Those night shots look much better IMO. Especially when he zoomed in. Besides that, One Plus blocked one of the cameras of OnePlus 8 Pro...

[@HealthyCriticism]

My wife's 8pro takes better pictures than my 9pro, especially noticeable during night time, which boggles my mind. We took a picture of a campfire and it is so much better on the 8pro. There is this flare effect happening with my 9pro when light hits the camera that ruins the detail.

[@macmad6959]

Great video, I think the Oneplus 9 Pro is causing a lot of confusion, and one that is dividing opinions, Hasselblad by all accounts is only being used on 9 Pro for software colour accuracy, and no actual Hasselblad hardware has been installed, into the camera, and as a result is scandalous, with Hasselblad emblazoned on the camera. Oneplus 9 Pro licencing Hasselblad to sell more phones, I find my old Samsung Note 10 plus a better camera phone, with more accurate colours, I cannot get on with the Oneplus 9 Pro, and I think it will be returned.

[@thelumiereguy]

Thanks for the video man! Oneplus 8 Pro is being sold around 300$ cheaper here in India, than Oneplus 9 Pro. In my opinion, its a great option with only a few corners being cut. What do you think Danny?
