In terms of photography, the OnePlus 12 steps up its game compared to its predecessor. In addition to the partnership with Hasselblad, the brand has chosen to equip its smartphone with a triple photo module composed of a 50 megapixel Sony LYT-808 sensor with wide-angle optics (f/1.6), a ultra wide-angle (f/2.2) of 48 Mpx and a x3 telephoto lens (f/2.6) of 64 Mpx. Does this configuration make it a good camera phone?
Main module: 50 Mpx, f/1.6, eq. 23mm
Compared to the recent Xiaomi 14, the OnePlus 12 is doing very well. We see better exposure in daytime photos and less saturated colors. The level of detail is, however, coarser, with the software processing accentuating micro-contrasts to give this feeling of sharpness. If the small elements are reproduced fairly well, it is enough to compare the characters on the tarot cards to identify the difference in sharpness.

Also in low light, the device correctly transcribes the scene and offers more faithful colorimetry than its competitor. We always notice this difference in sharpness, the processing forcing the contours to bring out maximum detail. Although present, the digital smoothing applied to reduce noise nevertheless remains discreet.

Mode 50 Mpx
By default at wide-angle, the OnePlus 12 captures images in 12.5 Mpx thanks to wide-angle technology. pixel-binning which groups 4 pixels into 1 to gain brightness and detail. The choice of shooting in full definition therefore allows above all to carry out crops without losing quality, but also without a significant gain. Fortunately, the device has a module with a telephoto lens.
Telephoto module: 64 Mpx, f/2.6, eq. 70mm
This module is rather convincing on daytime shots. If the rendering is a little overexposed, the shots seem more detailed than at wide angle. However, we note a slight smoothing of the image and some chromatic aberrations, particularly on moiré effects.

At night, on the other hand, the photos are less successful. The smoothing work carried out by the software processing in order to erase the digital noise is a little too noticeable. The shades are nevertheless better respected and the contrast better managed than in the photos of the Xiaomi 14, which delivers a much messier image.

Ultra wide-angle module: 48 Mpx, f/2.2, eq. 14mm
In order to avoid the effect fisheye, photos taken at ultra-wide angle undergo much more cropping than those taken with other modules. In good lighting conditions, the rendering is quite convincing with processing that does not force too much contrast. The colors are respected and the level of detail is correct in the center of the image, which is less the case at the periphery.

As is often the case, it is when shooting in low light, at ultra-wide angle, that smartphones give up. The OnePlus 12 is no exception and captures messy photos. Smoothing is omnipresent and vignetting is very pronounced with a particularly blurred periphery. The whole thing nevertheless remains usable, provided it is not too demanding.

Front module, portrait and video mode
On the front, the OnePlus 12 houses a 32 Mpx sensor accompanied by f/2.4 optics. The images are well exposed, the smoothing is not too excessive and the portrait mode does quite well. It is possible to film up to 4K at 30 fps and up to 8K 24 fps on the back. The results are satisfactory; and thanks to the image stabilization offered in 1080p 60 fps, shakes during shooting are clearly reduced.
