OnePlus has recently launched its latest smartphone models, the OnePlus 13 and the OnePlus 13R, marking a significant step forward in mobile photography. These new models, co-developed with the legendary camera manufacturer Hasselblad, are designed to cater specifically to photography enthusiasts who demand top-tier camera capabilities alongside robust performance.
The flagship OnePlus 13 not only boasts the cutting-edge Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite mobile platform but also introduces a suite of advanced photographic tools led by the fifth-generation Hasselblad for Mobile triple camera system. This system features a 50-megapixel Sony LYT-808 main camera, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide imager, and a unique 50-megapixel 3x Triprism Telephoto camera with AI Telephoto mode that can extend zoom up to 10 times.
A Leap in Photographic Excellence
The primary camera of the OnePlus 13 introduces a Type 1/1.4 sensor matched with an f/1.6 lens, optimizing low-light performance through pixel binning to create larger 2.24μm photosites. The ultra-wide camera incorporates a Samsung Isocell JN5 sensor, offering a 120-degree field of view, while the telephoto camera, a distinguishing feature between the OnePlus 13 and the 13R, employs Sony’s LYT-600 sensor.
Hasselblad’s influence is prominently featured in the upgraded Hasselblad Portrait Mode, which now includes three new filters designed to replicate classic film styles, mimicking the bokeh qualities of Hasselblad’s iconic lenses like the XCD 30, 65 primes, and the 90V.
Breakthrough in Design and Durability
Despite its advanced camera technology, the OnePlus 13 maintains a sleek, ultra-thin profile at just 8.5 millimetres thick and weighs only 210 grams. It features a rugged design with quad-curved glass, enhancing comfort and grip. The smartphone is built to endure, with an IP68 rating ensuring water resistance up to 1.5 meters deep for 30 minutes, and an IP69 rating, highlighting its ability to withstand high-pressure, high-temperature water jets.
The display technology is also a significant upgrade, with a 6.8-inch QHD+ display that supports a 120Hz refresh rate and offers up to 4,500 nits of peak brightness in certain conditions. OnePlus has integrated its new RadiantView technology to enhance screen visibility even in bright outdoor conditions.
Enhanced User Experience with Master Mode
OnePlus continues to empower users with extensive control over their photography through its Master Mode, allowing adjustments in tint, contrast, saturation, and sharpness. This mode also provides comprehensive control over exposure and camera settings, perfect for users who like to fine-tune their photos.
Moreover, the OnePlus 13 excels in video recording, supporting 4K/60p video with Dolby Vision HDR, and allows users to switch seamlessly between all three cameras while recording, ensuring high-quality video capture from any perspective.
With the OnePlus 13, OnePlus and Hasselblad have indeed revolutionized mobile photography, offering a blend of advanced camera technologies with user-centric innovations. This partnership not only enhances the photographic capabilities but also solidifies OnePlus’s commitment to delivering high-quality, cutting-edge technology to its users. Whether you are a professional photographer or a passionate enthusiast, the OnePlus 13 is tailored to exceed expectations, making it a compelling choice for anyone serious about mobile photography.
