The phone maker is widely rumoured to launch the OnePlus nine series phones in March. The series itself is set to bring two new smartphones OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro with possibly even a third thrown into a mix in the form of the OnePlus 9 Lite.
The three phones are expected to bring exciting upgrades, with the flagships, the OnePlus nine and the OnePlus 9 Pro tipped to feature industry-leading specs. Reports in the past have also hinted at significant upgrades in the camera department, and today a new leak has revealed the features that the new camera hardware on the phones could flaunt.
The information comes courtesy of a teardown of the new camera APK by XDADevelopers, found in the OxygenOS Open Beta released for the OnePlus seven and OnePlus 7T series. The teardown has revealed new camera features which are expected to be released in future OnePlus phones.
Tilt-shift mode
One of the new features coming to future OnePlus flagships is the tilt-shift lens. This lens is said to change its orientation and position concerning the image sensor. With the tilt-shift lens, the phone can “tilt” or “shift” the part of the lens to a different direction to change the type of image.
Starburst
This mode will allow pictures to be clicked with a star-like effect as it would capture light sources with light around it rather than a dot of light. The latest teardown shows that OnePlus will include this feature in its future camera apk to allow users to capture images of a light source with the effect.
Moon mode
Another exciting feature that OnePlus plans to add to its camera next year is the ability to click Moon mode photos. This will allow users to click pictures of the Moon and even give them the ability to add different filters to change the Moon’s colour.
Hyperlapse
OnePlus is also planning to introduce an upgrade of the timelapse videos feature available on its existing phones. As per the report, OnePlus plans to add a dedicated Hyperlapse mode to record sped-up videos over long distances.
Focus peaking
Focus peaking is another feature coming to OnePlus phones in the future. The feature will allow users to highlight the edges that are in focus in a picture. This will create a nifty little effect while clicking photos using OnePlus 9 phones.
