The OnePlus 15 is just weeks away from a global launch. The new OnePlus will follow up the best phone the company has ever released, and arguably still one of the best phones from the past few years from any OEM. Now, in the same calendar year we get a refreshed model, some think maybe somewhat rushed.
One thing long-time OnePlus supporters have grown concerned about is the expiration of the Hasselblad camera technology of the OnePlus 15. For those that may not know, Hasselblad is Swedish camera maker with over 150 years of experience in photogenic results. The company partnered with OnePlus back in 2021 to launch the OnePlus 9 series and has greatly enhanced the state of photo processing on OnePlus devices in that time through last year’s OnePlus 13.
So what happened? OnePlus has decided to take this division internal with the inclusion of its new DetailMax Engine starting with the OnePlus 15. I’ll get to the point here. If you’ve hesitated on pre-ordering the new OnePlus 15 due to this, stop worrying. I’ve included some photos I’ve taken with the device over the last two weeks, and I can assure you it performs very well in the smartphone landscape.
I’ve been very impressed in the camera functions and performance so far in my testing. From the zoom to low-light situations, the OnePlus 15 holds its own in any setting. I also love the Stage auto settings for catching live performances that the software was able to detect and suggest before I ever started shooting. Check out my full gallery below and let us know in the comments what you think of this small preview of the OnePlus 15 photo prowess.
