iPhone14Pro offers Apple's biggest camera upgrade in years, while the OnePlus 10 Pro proudly parades its Hasselblad chops. However, the rivalry is lopsided.
The iPhone 14 Pro marks Apple’s first major camera upgrade in a while, and in our tests, it has proved to be a capable performer. The OnePlus 10 Pro, with all its Hasselblad-tuned photography chops, was only $100 cheaper than the iPhone 14 Pro at launch and was positioned as a rival to Apple’s Pro flagship.
Coming to the OnePlus 10 Pro, its imaging hardware is led by a 49MP snapper. It sits alongside a 50MP ultrawide camera and an 8MP telephoto camera with 3.3x optical zoom output. The OnePlus 10 Pro’s main camera can record 4K video at up to 60fps and super slo-mo footage at up to 480fps. The blacks are darker, and the overall image looks more contrasted when captured from the iPhone 14 Pro. At close range, the main camera on the OnePlus 10 Pro struggles with locking the focus and often blurs out parts that should be in the focus.
The OnePlus 10 Pro’s ultrawide snapper takes full advantage of the pixel-binning benefit in daylight, capturing photos that are brighter with a higher ISO value. Elements like tree foliage are exposed well, and there are ample colors. However, the ultrawide angle shots from the iPhone 14 Pro offer a higher sharpness and clarity when zoomed in.
Starting with comparisons of each phone’s native optical zoom range, both devices deliver crisp photos. However, the iPhone 14 Pro allows for easier focus locking, and there is little color disparity when switching from the main to the telephoto camera. Despite the higher optical zoom range, the iPhone 14 Pro easily outclasses the OnePlus 10 Pro. But it’s not just the hardware that makes a difference here. Apple’s de-noising and sharpening algorithms are miles ahead of OnePlus, and it becomes quite apparent when taking digitally zoomed-in shots.
Take, for example, the portrait shot of the good boy below. The iPhone 14 Pro does a really good job of bringing out the fur details, and the color is also truer to life. The OnePlus 10 Pro does a good job of exposing the subject, but crushes the surface details and favors warmer colors that occasionally falter badly.
Minute details like surface paint and text are more legible, and there is little light bleeding in night shots from the iPhone. Another area where the OnePlus 10 Pro struggles in low-light are the illuminated objects against a dark background or elements close to a light source. Another annoyance is that the OnePlus 10 Pro struggles with depicting sharpness in hair, even in well-lit scenarios. When compared to the iPhone 14 Pro’s selfies, the OnePlus 10 Pro makes the hair look splotchy.
