What do you think of the new dual camera setup on the OnePlus 5? They're claiming it's one of the best (if not THE best) camera you can get on a smartphone today. Do you agree? Does the camera system make it a must buy?
Really, why would they think so?I literally couldn't care less about the dual camera, it's just... There.
I can tell you pretty much for certain it won't be a better all round camera than phones like he pixel or S8 though.
Really, why would they think so?
$480 phone with a camera that's competitive against phones that's twice the price which arguably feature better hardware and more advanced software processing?
Doesn't make sense to me.

Yeah it's silly to think there 5 would be on the same level as pixel or s8. I expected this camera to fall a step below those phones but it appears it may be worse.
I mean the main advertisement for this phone was the camera. It looks like they haven't got there yet. I would have rather they placed a good single lens in there instead of two mediocre ones.
A camera is more than just the sensor.OnePlus should have skipped the complicated dual camera setup and just did what the Blackberry KeyONE did - use the Sony sensor from the Pixel. Instant Pixel equivalence for a couple hundred less (including lack of waterproofing).
The worst part is the camera doesn't have OIS. Almost every camera/phone camera has it nowadays, even 3T had it. OP just wants to cut cost even with what they try to promote! So if you don't have perfect non-shaking hand, don't buy this phone, you can never take a clear photo except you put it on a table and remove control it to take a photo. In the official forum everyone is talking about this. Just this one factor is worse than almost all budget phones out there.
Well, much as it's not going to be pixel quality, that phone taught us OIS isn't a necessity anymore.
With the 835 and the right software, EIS can be rock solid.

OnePlus has to spruce up post-processing even more.
The OP5's camera app seems to be a blend of the Google Camera app with some elements from the iOS camera app and the Samsung app.Really??? To clarify my point, that software could have been a lot simpler if they skipped the complicated setup and took the KeyONE approach. Reviews are generally positive on that camera and the KeyONE development resources are likely similar to OP.
Did someone say bokeh?All fake blur anyway. The portrait mode is a non feature to me. If I want good bokeh I'll use a serious camera.
