Hey Guys It's Sagar from Tecworkz.
In this video, we take a look at the fancy new dual cameras on the OnePlus 5.
I have been waiting so long to make this video, because OnePlus has been pushing out many
software updates for this phone, and each one seems to has added some improvements to
the camera.
This is going to be a slightly longer video, So let's quickly get one fact out of the
way.
These new dual cameras look, and in many ways performs similar to those of the iPhone 7
Plus.
OnePlus even copied the 1x-2x button and the name portrait mode from the iPhone 7 Plus.
With that said, Let us move past it and look further into these dual cameras.
The wide camera is a 16 Megapixel sensor with F/1.7 Aperture, pixel size of 1.12micron and
Electronic stabilisation.
The telephoto camera has a 20 megapixel sensor with F/2.6 Aperture and pixel size of 1 micron.
It is really sad, that OnePlus decided to not include Optical image stabilisation on
either of these cameras, despite of having it on their previous devices.
At the front is a 16 megapixel camera with F/2.0 Aperture and electronic stabilisation,
this one is similar to what we saw on the OnePlus 3T.
Interface of the camera app is pretty simple.
You get a zoom button right above the shutter button, and swiping to left gets you to the
new portrait mode.
Get ready for a lot of image and video samples from this camera.
But before that, a word from our sponsor.
This video is sponsored by Wondershare video converter ultimate.
This software provides you with a variety of video tools.
You can convert a video into practically any format, like mov, mp4 or avi.
And, It makes Transferring videos from your computer to any smartphone, Tablet, gaming
consoles, and even VR devices, very easy.

software.
Wondershare video converter ultimate is a one stop professional and multifunctional
video tool box.
All the images have been shot in auto mode, with auto HDR turned on.
Like most of the cameras we saw this year, In good lighting conditions, OnPlus 5 captures
really good looking images.
White balance is very accurate in most lighting conditions, And the dynamic range is also
good.
But I think the sharpness and details could have been a bit better in some of the shots,
specially since the camera is on of the most hyped feature of this phone.
Some shots are amazingly crisp and detailed, but a few are not.
I think, OnePlus could have taken better advantage of the image processing on the Snapdragon
835 procesor, and the images could have ended up looking even better.
The HDR mode handles the high contrast situations very well.
Here are shots with and without the HDR mode turned on, you can see the difference for
yourself.
Thanks to the f/1.7 aperture on the main wide camera, you can get nice close up shots with
the background all blurred out.
Here is a small clip showing focusing speed.
It is better than the OnePlus 3T, but it is still far from perfect.
Now thanks to the second telephoto lens, you can take images like these, without cropping
in or any loss in quality.
If the light is low, instead of using the telephoto lens, Oneplus 5 just uses a cropped
image from the wide lens.
Since Because of the wide aperture, it captures more light and hence better images than the
telephoto lens.
In bright lighting conditions like these, the phone has no problem using the telephoto
lens.
Its not actually 2x optical zoom like on the iPhone 7 Plus, but the 1.6x zoom is optical
and the remaining 0.4x is digital.
OnePlus prefers to call this lossless zoom rather than optical zoom.
Another feature that this dual lens offers, is the portrait mode.
Just as on the iPhone 7 Plus, it is not perfect and struggles a bit with subjects that have
a lot of edges.
It does a better job while shooting people, as you can see in these images.
If you are a bit patient and take your time composing the shot, you can take great portrait
shots of various objects as well.
Since this is a software feature, it should definitely get better with each software update
that OnePlus pushes out.
Now as we move to artificial and lower lighting situations, it is definitely an improvement
over the OnePlus 3T.
You can still notice a lot of noise in the images, because while in auto mode, the camera
cranks up the ISO to make the image look brighter.
You can very easily lower the exposure a bit, which will end up reducing the noise and saving
the shot.
You can also turn on the HQ mode, which helps reduce the noise from the shadows of the images.
Lack of Optical image stabilisation is most definitely felt in these low light situations.
Now we saw this image earlier, and since the light is low, auto mode cranked up the iso,
so there is a lot of noise, but when we turn on the HQ mode, the image looks much better.
You can also go to the Pro mode, lower the ISO, and use a longer shutter speed to take
better images at night.
But make sure to be hold the phone very stable or put it on a tripod while doing so, to avoid
any shakes and blurs.
You can play with the settings in pro mode and get these kind of shots as well, again
just make sure that the phone is placed on a tripod while taking these shots.
OnePlus 5 cannot match up to the likes of the Pixel or the S8 in low light situations,
but it doesn't perform bad at all.
Here is a small tip, while trying to take a close up or a macro shot in less than adequate
light, use the portrait mode.
Here are macro images, with and without the portrait mode.
There is a lot of noise in the background of the normal macro shot, but the Portrait
mode blurs that part out, and you can't see the noise anymore.
The 16 megapixel front camera, is just as good as it was on the 3T.
Highlights are blown a bit, and the details are not really as sharp as you would expect
from a 16 megapixel shooter.
That being said, images are still better than a lot of front facing cameras.
The video performance is also a step up from the OnePlus 3T.
You can take 4k videos at 30 fps and 120 fps slow-motion video at 720p resolution.
There is no optical image stabalisation, but while shooting in 1080p, the Electronic stabilisation
seems to be doing a pretty good job.
There is an issue, where the camera keeps on hunting for focus while taking videos in
FullHD resolution, but this issue goes away while recording on 4K.
I have been talking this issue since the OnePlus 3, and it still hasn't been fixed.
Thanks to the telephoto lens, you can take stunning close up videos like these.
So in conclusion, The OnePlus 5 packs in pretty good set of cameras.
But in my testing, i did not find it to be as good as OnePlus claims it to be.
It can definitely take some good pictures, in ample light.
But since OnePlus is using the camera as the main marketing factor, and the phone is not
really cheap anymore, I expected better results from it.
But that is just me nitpicking.
Somethings that I wish OnePlus included in this camera are:
Optical image stabilisation on atleast one of the cameras, and manual controls over various
settings while shooting video with the native camera app.
Its 2017, and I think all manufacturers should include this in their smartphones.
That is it for this video guys.
Very soon, I will be comparing this camera with that of the Galaxy S8, the iPhone 7 Plus,
and even the Moto G5 Plus, so keep an eye out for that.
