First OnePlus 3 official camera samples: test photos show its capabilities

The OnePlus 3 has just gone official and it's quite the phone: at just $400, half the price of rival phones like the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, it rocks the same Snapdragon 820 system chip and features a similarly well-refined design.

But what about the camera on the OnePlus 3?

Well, OnePlus claims it has you covered with the camera as well. The OnePlus 3 features a 16MP rear cam with the Sony IMX 298 sensor and sporting a 1.12μm pixel. The sensor features phase-detection auto-focus for faster lock of focus, as well as optical and electronic image stabilization that should combine for more stable footage. The lens on top is an f/2.0 one. The main camera also supports 4K video at 30 fps, as well as slow motion at 720p and 120 fps.

This is all just tech talk: what users want to really know about, though, is camera quality. While we're yet to test that, OnePlus has published some official camera samples from the OnePlus 3 for consumers to check out and they look quite amazing. Note that the camera also features an auto HDR mode, as well as a new de-noising algorithm for sharper, smoother detail.
