A look at OnePlus’ first foldable phone to explore how its camera and video recording features stack up to other smartphones.

The OnePlus Open features a 48-megapixel main camera (24mm equivalent) with an image sensor actually designed by Sony (the LYT-T808 to be exact). As a “Pixel Stacked” sensor, the camera should see improved image quality and a wider dynamic range with better colors than a sensor that arranges photodiodes and pixel transistors together.

There’s also a 64-megapixel telephoto camera that uses an OmniVision OV64B sensor with 0.7µm pixels as well as a 70mm equivalent periscope lens with a f/2.6 aperture, giving the camera 3x optical zoom and 6x hybrid zoom which serves as a defacto crop factor.

For the 48-megapixel ultra-wide camera (which is a 14mm equivalent) with an f/2.2 aperture and an 11-degree field of view, users can expect to use this option as a macro lens for close-ups of items within about three centimeters.

Due to the device’s foldable design, the rear cameras will actually be more usable for selfie or front-style shooting, so there’s actually a 32-megapixel front camera on the cover screen as well.
