Capturing Vibrancy: OnePlus 13 Camera Impressions from Sri Lanka

Source: Date:

Last month, OnePlus India bestowed upon us the incredible opportunity to explore the stunning landscapes of Sri Lanka while showcasing the capabilities of their upcoming OnePlus 13 series smartphones. As part of this unique experience, we were treated to a plethora of activities, from exhilarating water sports and serene whale watching to immersing ourselves in the rich cultural heritage at local temples. While our whale-watching adventure didn’t yield any sightings — perhaps the whales were a bit camera shy — we made the most of our time capturing breathtaking photos over the course of three delightful days.

All photos and videos featured below were taken with the OnePlus 13, utilizing the latest firmware (15.0.0.307) at our disposal. Each shot is presented straight from the camera, untouched by filters or edits. Without further ado, let’s dive into the camera samples.

First up is the primary camera, boasting a 50MP f1.6 Sony LYT-808 sensor, which produces vibrant images characterized by rich colors and striking contrast.

Lastly, we have the 50MP f2.65 3x telephoto lens, equipped with a Triprism and Sony LYT-600 sensor. This lens quickly became our favorite for capturing images due to its enchanting perspective and outstanding image clarity.

Not every shot was captured in the standard 3x mode; we also included images taken in the 6x mode, which allowed for even tighter cropping to effectively isolate subjects.

Additionally, we experimented with a few shots in XPAN mode, a feature exclusive to Hasselblad-branded devices, providing a distinctive perspective with its notably wide 65:27 aspect ratio.

Lastly, we captured some video samples in 4K at both 60fps and 30fps. However, please note that the videos were recorded in SDR due to current limitations in showcasing Dolby Vision via YouTube.

As always, we have included our standard test samples for review in our
