Boost camera performance with the second generation of Hasselblad Camera for mobile

When OnePlus partnered with legendary camera maker Hasselblad and introduced the Hasselblad camera for mobile into the OnePlus 9 series, it was big news. With this, OnePlus has brought Hasselblad’s bloodline of over eight decades of camera experience to OnePlus users and redefined our expectations for a smartphone camera. The OnePlus 10 Pro’s second-generation mobile camera Hasselblad takes camera performance even further with the OnePlus Billion Color Solution, the new 150° wide camera, and more.

The OnePlus Billion Color Solution allows natural color calibration with Hasselblad to be applied to over a billion colors, meaning that each of the OnePlus 10 Pro’s three rear cameras—main camera, telephoto, and ultra-wide—is capable of shooting in full 10-bit color. As a result, the device processes 64 times more colors than smartphones that capture 8-bit colour.

Furthermore, the OnePlus 10 Pro takes photos using the DCI-P3 color gamut, which provides 25% more color coverage than the sRGB color gamut used by other smartphones. If you take a photo with the OnePlus 10 Pro, you will see that it displays more subtle and pleasant colors as the color gamut is significantly reduced, leaving you with smoother transitions between each color. With this said, the latest technology gives OnePlus users a chance to experience the most accurate colors and capture the most stunning shots.

The feature also supports a fisheye mode that replicates the look of traditional fisheye lenses, providing a fresh perspective when photographing. By default, the OnePlus 10 Pro’s Ultra Wide camera takes photos with a 110-degree field of view, complete with AI distortion correction.
