OnePlus 9 Pro 5G - A Versatile Companion

This year, OnePlus took its commitment to provide the best user experience a step further by announcing its long-term partnership with Hasselblad. The company has revamped their existing technology with the launch of the OnePlus 9 series— co-developed with Hasselblad— the 9, the 9R, and the 9 Pro. The 9 Pro is positioned as OnePlus’ top-of-the-line in today’s time, which packs sophisticated technology inside a chic design.

Best of Both Worlds

The phone offers a quad rear camera setup—a 48MP f/1.8 Sony IMX789 primary camera, a 50MP f/2.2 Sony IMX766 ultra wide angle Freeform lens, an 8MP f/2.4 telephoto camera with OIS, and a 2MP monochrome lens. The Freeform lens has a phone significantly wider asymmetrical design that resolves the issue of distortion. Hasselblad has introduced the Natural Colour Calibration feature that allows the phone to capture true to life colours and tones. They have also lent some of its interface to the camera’s Pro mode. The phone comes with 2x2 OCL, 12-bit RAW, dual ISO, and DOL-HDR. It also has multi autofocus (PDAF+LAF+CAF), and face detection feature.

The 9 Pro offers various modes such as Photo, Portrait, Nightscape, Pro, Panorama, Time-Lapse, SlowMotion, and the newly introduced, Tilt-Shift. In the Photo mode, the company has added a feature called High-Res, which allows users to access the 48MP camera. The phone also offers a Super Macro mode, which is similar to the one you see in the 8 Pro. Just like its predecessor, the Monochrome lens has been buried inside the filter options and is cumbersome to access.
