In the past, OnePlus has revealed details of its handsets bit by bit as launch day approaches, and it’s the same for theOnePlus 13: the official unveiling is on Thursday, October 31, but we already know the camera specs for the upcoming flagship.
OnePlus confirmed the informationin a poston Chinese social media platform Weibo (viaAndroid Authority). There are three cameras on the back, which are a 50MP main camera, a 50MP periscope lens, and a 50MP ultrawide camera with a 120-degree field of view.
While the main camera matches theOnePlus 12, the other two have been given an upgrade. The periscope lens offers 3x optical zoom with an f/2.6 aperture, optical image stabilization, and a 1/1.95-inch sensor.
As ourOnePlus 12 reviewwill tell you, the existing flagship has a zoom camera with more megapixels but a smaller sensor size. In theory, those changes should mean better end results, especially when it comes to low light photos.
