In order to make improvements in the camera side of things, OnePlus announced its partnership with camera maker Hasselblad, a company known around the world for its optics.
When the OnePlus 9 series was launched, OnePlus said that it would continue to work with the camera maker in order to improve the camera performance of its flagships in the coming months.
What Does this New XPan Mode Offer?
That time is here now, since, a couple of months after launch, the OnePlus 9 series is now getting a new camera mode, dubbed XPan Mode.
