The fast-approaching OnePlus 6 could be the Chinese company's first-ever phone featuring some degree of water resistance. The camera should be pretty great, too.

Here’s what the iPhone 6s Plus camera can do

Even Apple knows it can’t afford to snooze on the camera during an “off year.” The company’s two newest iPhones are S-models, moderate upgrades to existing designs that seldom dazzle quite the way their odd-year siblings do – but for 2015, they do come packing new optics. Our iPhone 6s Plus camera comes proper with a 12MP sensor featuring an f/2.2 aperture, optical image stabilization, a five-element lens behind sapphire cover glass, and an array of “focus pixels” dedicated exclusively to … well,

Here’s what the Moto X Pure Edition camera can do

For all the aspects of smartphone design Motorola excels at, it’s never really nailed the camera experience. Despite making big promises on the first-generation Moto X and its 2014 followup, each fell flat in the photos department: the pathfinder phone produced terrible low-light results despite its vaunted “ClearPixel” technology, and last year’s sequel didn’t fare much ...

This is what the Oppo R7 camera can do

I’ve personally covered Oppo’s last major announcements for devices like the Oppo R5 and Oppo N3, which I also reviewed eventually, and now the Oppo R7. In the case of the first two, you’ll notice that my thoughts on their cameras (R5, N3) were what I’d call ok, but not on par with some of the smartphone cameras that flagships used in 2014. 2015 is a different animal, with devices like the

Here’s what the One M9+ camera can do

HTC hasn’t exactly carried a reputation for great cameras in recent years. What began as a bold idea in 2013 with the One M7’s Ultrapixel technology, a statement against the megapixel race in favor of “larger” pixels for pulling in more light, ended in bad execution in the form of an underwhelming 4MP sensor.Last year, HTC pushed forward with its unique Ultrapixel design, and added a depth sensor above for artificial bokeh and ...

Here’s what the BLU Life One’s camera can do

Ahh, BLU. They might buy other manufacturers’ devices wholesale, but they do give their darndest to refine them down in sunny Miami, Florida. We’re going to find out if their refinements have equipped their latest flagship, the BLU Life One, with a good camera. Keep in mind that this device is retailing on Amazon for nearly $150 with a special pre-sale rebate of $50 going on until June 15th, so we’re looking for bang in those bucks.The Life One’s Sony IMX135 sensor is a familiar one to Motorola Moto X 2014 owners. The 13 megapixels (4160 x 3120 effective output) ...

Here’s what the Oppo R5 camera can do

As we covered the launch of the Oppo R5 and Oppo N3 in Singapore a few weeks ago, most of the presentation focused on the image quality of the Oppo N3, and on the special optics that were being launched with both devices. Some of us in the room were a tad shocked because the company decided to ask a professional photographer to showcase all the camera ...
