Can the OnePlus 9 Pro compete with the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra in terms of the camera? OnePlus has given a lot of attention to the camera of the new flagship, claiming to have invested a lot of time and money in it. But, as we know, the final result depends on many factors.
PhoneArena experts decided to compare the two flagships to see which camera is better.
Already at once, it can be argued that the Samsung flagship’s camera is definitely better, and even at a threefold zoom. You can also see a big difference in dynamic range when shooting video with the front camera. Although it may be improved by firmware.
Photos in simple conditions with good lighting are expected to be very close, the differences are mainly in the balance of white and saturation.
But in poor lighting, the situation is amusing. The Galaxy S21 Ultra is better at photographing, with the OnePlus 9 Pro taking the lead when shooting video. In addition, the OnePlus’ ultra-wide-angle camera takes better photos at night.
