During the OnePlus 7 Series launch event (on May 14, 2019), the OEM announced that the flagship of this line scored 111 in its DxOMark review. This puts it behind just 2 other premium devices in the benchmark's rankings.

The OEM OnePlus has just unveiled its latest line of flagships. It was dominated with details on the 7 Pro, the flagship of this new series. Its maker has kitted it out with a quad HD+ screen for the first time. It has numerous bells and whistles that may help it compete with the Samsung Galaxy S10 series - which, like the 7 Pro, also has a 5G variant.

OnePlus has made an effort at stepping to the big kids with the 7 Pro's rear camera as well. It is the almost-inevitable triple module, one of which is a Sony IMX 586 sensor. This 48MP main shooter does not have anything like a fancy RYYB configuration; however, the OEM claims that its new pixel-binning adaptations enhance it greatly, compared to the OnePlus 6T at least. It also has a plastic 7-lens system for advanced clarity, as well as optical image stabilization (OIS).

The 8MP telephoto sensor has 3X zoom, as indicated in previous intriguing leaks. It also has OIS and an f-value of 2.4. These modules are joined by a 16MP lens with a 117⁰ field of view. OnePlus claims to have chosen this configuration as it approaches the maximum view-field of the human eye.

The complete triple camera is augmented with 3 types of focus: laser-autofocus (AF), continuous AF and phase-detection AF. It also has UltraShot and Nightscape 2.0, OnePlus' probable answers to Google's Top Shot and Night Sight respectively.

This set-up has earned the 7 Pro a total score of 111 from DxOMark, which is made up from a score of 118 and 98 in terms of photography and videography capabilities respectively. That achievement gives it a technical 2nd place in the overall camera rankings, behind the Huawei P30 Pro and the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G, currently tied for

1. However, further review with different approaches may give an alternative perspective on the 7 Pro's apparent new prowess. Stay tuned for our own take on the latest triple camera of 2019.

At the OnePlus 7 series launch event on 14 May, the company launched its latest flagship duo — the OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro. The latter of the two, as the 'Pro' in the moniker suggests, is the more powerful device. In fact, OnePlus 7 Pro is the most powerful phone the company has yet made, barring its camera performance.

Early reviews around the world found the OnePlus 7 Pro's camera not living up to the hype that the company created.

However, DxOMark released the OnePlus 7 Pro's camera score of 111 points, which also happens to be the third-highest score to date. The first two places are tied at 112 by the Huawei P30 Pro and the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G.

And this discrepancy in results was pointed out by Mr Phone's Ershad Kaleebullah, who highlighted this disclaimer by DxOMark.

"Please note: The camera firmware used for the DxOMark tests is not yet currently available to consumers. OnePlus will make it available as an over-the-air update before the end of the month."

This means that DxOMark's score has been obtained on a different firmware on the OnePlus 7 Pro whereas all the reviewers have been apparently running a firmware that's old, and hence the lukewarm feedback on camera.

So, why did DxOMark get a different firmware on the OnePlus 7 Pro to test the cameras again? That logic doesn't make sense to me. Shouldn't all the reviewers be on the same firmware? Obviously, all the lukewarm feedback is basis the current firmware. Odd. — Ershad Kaleebullah (@r3dash) May 15, 2019

That doesn't seem fair, considering the early reviewers' test will soon become inaccurate once the latest firmware is released.

We have reached out to OnePlus to get a timeline on the new firmware's timeline. We will update this space as soon as we hear from them.

Per DxOMarks's test, OnePlus 7 Pro got a photo score of 118 points, which is just a point behind the Huawei P30 Pro, and with the exception of artifacts and zoom, the two devices achieve very similar scores. Further, the report says that the OnePlus 7 Pro has great exposures, good contrast in all lighting conditions, and "has a wide dynamic range" that preserves both highlight and shadow detail in high-contrast scenes.
