Lau doesn’t reveal anything else here, not even if the phones were taken on a vanilla version of the OnePlus 9 or a OnePlus 9 Pro. Regardless, it’s pretty clear that OnePlus’ focus for their upcoming flagship series will centre around the capabilities of the phones’ cameras. Similar to previous releases, the company has also released a documentary series to cover the development of their latest product, with the first episode focusing on the budding Hasselblad relationship.
In any case, the new partnership is supposed to offer a variety of improvements to OnePlus’ smartphone cameras—which haven’t been bad, but they’ve certainly lagged behind the big players in the years gone by. New software optimisation is nowto improve colour tuning and sensor calibration, while there will also be something called “Hasselblad Pro Mode”.
This mode, according to OnePlus, will offer class-leading sensor calibration on a smartphone, offering incredibly accurate and natural colours. As per its name, the mode will also have more flexibility and control for professional photographers , while the mode will allow for 12-bit RAW format to be used as well. As for hardware, we’ll be seeing a Sony IMX789 sensor—which will be the largest and most advanced sensor on any of OnePlus’ phones.
