Not so much. The thing as is as smart phone cameras get better, designated cameras get even that much better. Plus, the process of making photos with a camera will be hard to beat. But the best camera is the one you have with you.. right?
I definitely am! I have been considering buying a travel camera, but if I can get this type of quality from a phone? I'm sold! I hope someone does a side-by-side comparison from the other top tier phones. Especially with the Hasselblad lens, omg, I don't think these American phones can compete for a long while.
Wow! Ive been shooting professionally for almost 20 years and I do like and use my iPhone sometimes but these photos are on another level IMO. I would never be able to tell these came from a PHONE if I didnt know. Aside from the Xperia 1 series, this is the only smartphone Ive seen that I feel could easily replace my iPhone for mobile photography. This looks even better than the Xperia photos IMO. Really love the look of that telephoto lens as I mainly shoot portraits. Great shots, thanks.
An interesting video Evan and the phone looks fantastic, especially that telephoto lens. About a year ago, I got hold of as many RAW files from various phones as I could. After spending a lot of time editing and comparing them, I decided that my current phones RAW files beat them all, and I didn't change phones. I've had my Huawei P30 Pro for 4 years now and I am reluctant to give it up. The RAW files do require a bit of work to get them right, and they are large too, but I just love how they look. The main sensor is 40mp and 1/1.7 in size and it outputs a RAW file of between 70mb and 80mb. I am able to shoot in RAW with any of the 3 lenses, the 27mm 40mp, the 20mp 16mm ultra wide or the 8mp 125mm telephoto. The telephoto is superb but I do wish the sensor was larger and the megapixel count a little higher. The Oppo looks great, and I'll need to get some RAW files for testing, but for now, I'm still not convinced it's time for me to change.
Reminds me of my old Nokia 1020, had same manual controls…. Best Camera on any phone i ever had… could shoot raw to.. had that same big hump on the back like this new oppo…
I wish all manufacturers would utilize a circular lens array with a bump. First this would make the camera more stable when laid flat in a surface. Second mobile photography could really rival trqditional photography if manufacturers made the bump threaded or/and magnetic for use with filters.
Hi mate. From Australia 🇦🇺 Would love to see what size the Oppo Find N3 prints to. No one on the internet, that i know of, has printed an image from a phone and displayed it. Would be great to see a few printed images, would you be willing to do a video on that. Thanks.
Man I only just discovered oppo after buying a second hand x5 off someone, these things are incredible! The N3 looks absolutely ridiculous (in a good way). Might become the next oppo!
While I don't think anything can touch the Xiaomi 13 Pro's Leica 1" sensor f/1.9 beast of a main camera the accuracy of the masking in that portrait mode is just remarkably uncanny and the first of its kind I couldn't tell apart from actual shallow DOF without pixel peeping. Can you imagine what cinematic video modes for high end phones will be like in a few years when processing and software is able to apply that accuracy and beyond on the fly. Shout out to the next generation of backyard filmmakers.
What exactly are you talking about? I use the Xiaomi 13 Pro and I sold it because it does not adjust to the light and its colors are not what the Oppo and OnePlus are at a completely different level. Oh, I forgot that the Xiaomi 14 Pro was launched today and its camera is weak.
what a brilliant review! I believe that you can achieve such result with any flagship phone using manual settings while shooting in raw. I d love to see a comparison of some phones in this way
I would love to try out the OPPO Find N3! The camera capabilities sounds awesome. I've been using Google Pixel phones ever since 2017, but the features in this camera (and being Hasselblad) look amazing!
Its great and refreshing to see a real photographer reviewing and offering professional analysis rather then the dozens of rubbish coming from self acclaimed experts out there, taking picture of their house objects, car interior and pets sprouting their buulshit reviews....the likes of Flossy Carter at al.
Bro the amount of punch you put in those colors always amazes me. I always just assume it's cause of your fuji cameras (as a form of making my self feel better lolol) but gettting those sexy ass colors out of an android phone?? Street Photography GOAT
Another awesome video Evan! You are maybe the only youtuber that actually showcases what you can do with a smartphone camera and your results are honestly sometimes mindboggling. I really wonder if this camera is performing exactly the same in the new OnePlus Open as they both have the exact same cameras. I live in Germany and I dont know if the Oppo will get a global launch so if you are able to, I`d love to see a review of the Open compared to the N3.
I'd love to know what you think of this compared with the Xiaomi range. I was dead set on changing to Vodafone in order to get it (in the UK) but after seeing this I'm not sure now.
Easy to understand that the photography is good, but is it being judged as a pocket camera or as a mobile device? If it's a mobile device what about the rest of it. How's the phone call quality, the OS, app support. Would be great to know about those things too. That helps to determine if this is the pocket camera beside my mobile phone or actually my mobile phone.
This phone uses the new Sony sensor with double the light capture. It's also in the Sony Xperia 5v. Btw you should try Sony Xperia phones for the very best in smartphone cameras.
Great review! 😉 I know this is a Chinese model but can you tell me if Netflix and Disney+ content view in Dolby vision? Thanks! Keep up the great work 😊
you edited the pictures seen in the video? bcs they look very punchy and kind of saturated and high cotrast... also i want to ask how good video smoothing and denoising is?
7:21 The Experia Pro i has pro features, so this phone isn't "the closest any phone has come to mimicking a pro style camera" this phone I believe doesn't have a variable aperture like the Sony. However I am looking at getting a second phone and this one looks promising.
Man what a time we live in! Crazy sht lol😂 Pocket 3 just came out and now I’m considering to sell my iPhone 14p and save the money to buy pocket 3 to get this instead.
So my question is how is it as a phone? I tried to use my iPhone at the light show in Anakeesta in Gatlinburg earlier this week and I’m not sure how much of the bad photos were me or my phone
As always it’s half and half but when I applied what I know about photography to this phone I was extremely impressed by what I could do. Obviously I had some bad shot too haha but the winners stood out!
Loved this video! Such a refreshing change...coming from a real photographer that you are. 👏🏼 Would the new OnePlus Open have the same camera capability as this Oppo? They're supposedly the same exact phone. Any thoughts or experience with the OP Open?
@@MegaAbzzzzz Thanks! That's what I figured. I currently have the OP Open and it's literally has the best camera on any smartphone I've ever used, in my humble opinion.
I have an oppo phone, just reilised how useful that interval shooting feature is as that I don't really anyone to shoot me lol But I have x6 pro version, it isn't folded, gotta be creative Also, im very very new to photography, the only photos that I made and like personallh are from the tele. It is too damn hard for me to compose 23 mm and I don't really like that length at all. 35 or even 28 look way way better for me, just in the same scenarios, these focal lengths immerse me better in comparison to 23, but I think I should practice more and learn more about composition, so it is all good probably. Thanks for reading my blog 😅
So, would you choose this over the much lighter iPhone 15 Pro? Apple should integrate a higher-end optical company’s camera into the iPhone like Hasselblad and Leitz.
Have you used any Sony or Samsung phones for mobile photography. You said the Oppo is the best You've used so I'm curious to know what experiences you are comparing it to?
I assume it is camera wise more or less identical to the OnePlus open, which makes me wonder: Why did they ask you to promote the "Chinese" market phone over the international one.
The problem with this phone for me and that trashes the set of great cameras that it has, is that the "48"MP ultra-wide, JPEG or RAW, is only an upscaled 12MP and looks like garbage. All the other cameras can output their native pixel count but on the ultra-wide it gets downsampled to 12MP and gets te-upsampled to output a 48MP. This makes absolutely no sense.
Impressive, ok. But for 1800€ you can buy a Fuji xs20 that is 200 times better. There is NOT phone, right now, that can even come close to any apsc camera.
How about you test out the leica L1. Id love to see what kind of bs you come up with for that one while you show us mediocore photos. Stop with the vinegetting and hard contrast in your edits it looks my first edits when i started photography and thats not a good thing.

Are you excited for the future of mobile photography? Thanks for watching!

@@christianvasquez3937 how am I lying exactly?
This Oppo phone uses the same sensor as the Xperia 1 V for the main camera.

Beautiful shots. Amazing camera for sure
Similar menus as the X2D. Awesome video. Can’t wait to check it out

Yeah they all need to just put a standard filter thread on there

@@mohxzh4741 He is talking about Xiaomi 13 Ultra but mistakenly write it as 13 Pro, the 13 Pro didn't have 1" sensor
what a brilliant review! I believe that you can achieve such result with any flagship phone using manual settings while shooting in raw. I d love to see a comparison of some phones in this way
great video with a pile of tech & good examples of what it's cameras can do 😅
Can you share the RAW files? Curious to see what they're like
Also would you suggest using a case or not?
I would love to try out the OPPO Find N3! The camera capabilities sounds awesome. I've been using Google Pixel phones ever since 2017, but the features in this camera (and being Hasselblad) look amazing!
Get the one plus open it's the same thing and you can order one today I have one and it's been a great experience
Its great and refreshing to see a real photographer reviewing and offering professional analysis rather then the dozens of rubbish coming from self acclaimed experts out there, taking picture of their house objects, car interior and pets sprouting their buulshit reviews....the likes of Flossy Carter at al.
When will it be available to purchase?
Dang bro, got me over here giving my 15 pro max the side eye lol. Thanks for the review Evan!!
😂😂😂😂😂
wow these are really good! I had no idea this existed
Oppo find n3 Versus iphone 15 pro max which is the best cam n video ?
I was waiting the whole video for a good photo.
i absolutely love your phone camera reviews.
Hey means a lot! I put a ton of work into these to make sure the videos have real photography examples

One plus open and find n 3 are the same phone
Just with diffrent names depending on which county you are in 😊
Is this all photos straight out of camera? Or with filters?
I'd love to know what you think of this compared with the Xiaomi range. I was dead set on changing to Vodafone in order to get it (in the UK) but after seeing this I'm not sure now.
Great video. Please review the Sony Xperia 1 V. Thanks!
This seems actually impressive, I'm going to consider getting one when it's released.
It’s really cool, check one out if you get the chance!

How's the phone call quality, the OS, app support. Would be great to know about those things too.

Does it work with T-Mobile?
Can you tell Oppo to make this available in an AT&T store?
This phone uses the new Sony sensor with double the light capture. It's also in the Sony Xperia 5v.
Btw you should try Sony Xperia phones for the very best in smartphone cameras.
I agree. Using the Xperia 1 V about 2 months. I am in love with it. Best Cam-Smartphone.
I would love to hear your opinion on their FLIP N3
Can you make a versus camera oneplus open vs oppo?
What about HDR? Is it compiling images? Does it allow raw editing of those compiled images?
Is this the same camera system in the opposite n3 flip?
Great review! 😉 I know this is a Chinese model but can you tell me if Netflix and Disney+ content view in Dolby vision? Thanks! Keep up the great work 😊
you edited the pictures seen in the video? bcs they look very punchy and kind of saturated and high cotrast... also i want to ask how good video smoothing and denoising is?
Man the camera specs are wild
The telephoto features were insane. Going to be fun to see how these smartphone cameras continue to improve
How do u buy it in germany.?
Same thought when I use oppo find x6 pro camera. The x6 pro also have larger sensor
7:21 The Experia Pro i has pro features, so this phone isn't "the closest any phone has come to mimicking a pro style camera" this phone I believe doesn't have a variable aperture like the Sony. However I am looking at getting a second phone and this one looks promising.

It’s the phone. iPhone cameras are horrid.
As always it’s half and half but when I applied what I know about photography to this phone I was extremely impressed by what I could do. Obviously I had some bad shot too haha but the winners stood out!
Why do you keep changing the aspect ratio of the video?
Loved this video! Such a refreshing change...coming from a real photographer that you are. 👏🏼 Would the new OnePlus Open have the same camera capability as this Oppo? They're supposedly the same exact phone. Any thoughts or experience with the OP Open?
it is in fact the same exact phone, Oppo is focusing on Asian market, OP Open is Eu and US.
@@MegaAbzzzzz Thanks! That's what I figured. I currently have the OP Open and it's literally has the best camera on any smartphone I've ever used, in my humble opinion.

For reference, if anyone wonders:

- iPhone 15 Pro Max: 221g
- Oppo find N3: 239g
five ficon in background possible ?
Have you used any Sony or Samsung phones for mobile photography. You said the Oppo is the best You've used so I'm curious to know what experiences you are comparing it to?
Review flip n3 please
What about the normal auto mode jpg photography for noobs like myself?
I wish my iPhone had these photography capabilities tbh
Always having my Sony A7III with me is annoying
iPhone 15 pro takes better pictures than this. See his latest video on 15 pro.
9:19 bro walks like that one guy in school
Nothing beats iphone 15pro max....btw I'm android user
Looks exactly like OnePlus open
I assume it is camera wise more or less identical to the OnePlus open, which makes me wonder: Why did they ask you to promote the "Chinese" market phone over the international one.
the oppo find n3 is the international version of the phone. The oneplus is more suited to the NA market.
It is the one plus open. Just that this is gold or black and that is green or black.
Bet you never used the s23 ultra before
Wow!
Pro mode didn't look different than pro mode on Samsung.
The problem with this phone for me and that trashes the set of great cameras that it has, is that the "48"MP ultra-wide, JPEG or RAW, is only an upscaled 12MP and looks like garbage. All the other cameras can output their native pixel count but on the ultra-wide it gets downsampled to 12MP and gets te-upsampled to output a 48MP. This makes absolutely no sense.
Impressive, ok. But for 1800€ you can buy a Fuji xs20 that is 200 times better. There is NOT phone, right now, that can even come close to any apsc camera.
By that logic any $500 DSLR / mirrorless would be better than a smartphone in terms of image quality.
gotta say i love realme gt phones and they are made by oppo but they don't put the best camera on them phones.
Find x6 pro is a better cam..
damn this felt like such an ad. :(
That look like oneplus open
I thought it's OnePlus fold 😅
It is rebranded OnE+ Open.
wow！！
How about you test out the leica L1. Id love to see what kind of bs you come up with for that one while you show us mediocore photos. Stop with the vinegetting and hard contrast in your edits it looks my first edits when i started photography and thats not a good thing.
You must be a pro.
Smartphone is great, but you will use iPhone, right?😆
Nah it doesn't, it's branding. poopcam
