OnePlus 9 versus iPhone 12 camera comparison

We're back with another smartphone camera comparison with the OnePlus 9 and the iPhone 12 to see which smartphone is capable of capturing better photos and videos. The OnePlus 9 technically has much better hardware than the iPhone 12, but Apple has always had an upper hand in previous camera comparisons when matched up against OnePlus. Will the result be any different this time?

1:52 Just looking at the shadows, is it really that big a difference?
After looking at a lot of photos, I can say that clicks were *NOT SHOT SIDE BY SIDE*, there is a major time difference. Example 2:17 See the cloud positioning

People might like OnePlus or not but it's pretty obvious that they made huge improvements with the cameras, this time around you can say you're not sacrificing camera module on a OP phone even with the base model.

Surprisingly close. Overall I'd take the iphone. But there were cases where OP had a better shot.

Wow I am impressed, the OP9 killed it with few exceptions. Even the selfie camera and most night shots! I am quite surprised as I thought the OP9 selfie was not that good, and the lack of OIS would disadvantage it more. It seems like this happened in a couple of shots, but most were better than the iPhone's (less noise, better managed light source halos)! Very interesting comparison.

Been looking for a lowlight review! Thank you so much!

that haziness on oneplus 9 pro samples is unacceptable. I've seen it since oneplus 7 pro.

One plus just nailed it hasselblad so much natural colour

That's ultra-wide of OnePlus 9 is just awesome. iPhone 12's ultrawide is just trash for low light and nighttime, way to noise and grain. If 9 has the OIS it could have been pretty compatible with 12's main camera. Surprisingly 12's video was lagging where the 9's one is smooth!!

Since this video came out the updates on the OP9 have really improved the selfie camera and saturation on the rear cameras. Be fun to see an updated comparison since now the OP9 has been optimized.

[arturmagomedov]

OnePlus 9 is significantly better in nightmode

[leyzic]

holy moly that microphone one the oneplus is so good

[Erbilforever]

Image processing on iPhones are great, they do better than large mega pixel cameras on other phones, 12 MP is more than enough for a phone, what is important how does these pictures look not how large they are. Im might get the OnePlus 9 Pro but i like the iPhone camera

[aqibhuda]

9:00-10:00 the camera stabilization and detailing is much better on Oneplus 👍

[bhatts]

That’s a lot closer than I expected! Great comparison Nick! Any chance you’ll reshoot the photos for oneplus 9 pro after the camera updates and improvements?

[ottallman]

Latest update should help the OP do better

[peterhirzel]

Watching this on a Huawei 12pro it is a bit hard to say whivh is better...

[maushumideori]

Definitely not side by side photos!
IPhone pics were on a sunnier day

The selfie on the iPhone 12 gives your skin a Trump Tan!
