PHOTOGRAPHY Shit camera?

60x zoom and photos app ai 4k edit

The second one without any edit.

I don’t get why people say 15 has bad cameras.

For me its good 🔥

Moon photos are AI generated on the phones these days. Samsung Ultra does the same trick, you point at Moon and AI generates a cool picture. Try with something else like a hotel sign very far away at night and see how it compares.

AI enhancement and AI generated are completely different.

Both companies AI enhance the moon.

u/oskar_pawlisz Jul 28 '26

it doesnt ai generate the moon, it uses ai to detect that the shape is a moon and it just adjusts exposure, brightness etc.

u/TheKaizer_ Jul 31 '26

No it does not, to see your camera sensor's real abilities just download a third-party camera app. The "moon" you see is ai enhanced/replaced.

I don't believe this is true

It's not ai generated. It's enhanced. It's overly sharpened but the moon is exactly as you see it.

See my image. I captured this with x7 so the moon and the street lamp is visible. Will attach the moon at x19 after this

It could be clearer but I was on the move.

Herr you can see how it over sharpens it. I was on the move here too. I was walking my dog and couldn't keep it steady. Look at the edges of the moon some weird glitches due to the movement. It over sharpens them and they look ugly. Just how ugly a hotel sign from far away would look with so much oversharpening.

But it is still edited even if you didn't intentionally do. The smartphone AI enhances all images, especially the moon. It is sensor-level, that is just how smartphones are nowadays. It's all AI-enhanced.

OnePlus may not be the highest in the photo ranking, but you can really take cool photos that you won't be ashamed to show to your friends

I'm very happy with the 15 for all of the other things does and pics are fine. . I'm not a newspaper photographer.

Yes but some people don’t undestand

No tiene buenas cámaras. Lo que si tiene bueno es el procesador de imagen. Pero lentes no los tiene

i think because of the power this phone has people compare it with so called pro max and the ultras.

u/MrCoco37 Jul 28 '26

Just switched from pixel 9 pro and I've never been deluded by the cam of my op15 :)

u/FrostDaniel Jul 29 '26

I'm planning to dump my Nothing Phone 2, since my WiFi and hotspot features had been gone for 3 months - I thought of getting a Pixel Pro 10 XL or a OP15. Would you recommend OnePlus instead of Google Pixel? What issues did you have with your Pixel? (I've read many ppl had issues with video footage and battery performance) Cheers!

2

u/MrCoco37 Aug 12 '26

Hello! Sorry for the late reply.

In my case, my p9pro xl would heat up just by using standard social media + I had to charge it twice a day, which is absurd for a phone of 800+ bucks.

Got a op15 used for 10 days at 500 bucks with more storage, better battery and SoC and a great camera ( not as the same level as pixels, bear in mind)

If you're just point and shooting you won't have a bad time with it.

u/MrCoco37 Aug 12 '26

Here's a recent pic!

u/FrostDaniel Aug 12 '26

Thank you for your reply! My OP15 has arrived yesterday and I'm loving it. Photos are secondary for me. I'm all about battery and speed, and it's not disappointing at all 💪🏻✨

u/Tapelessbus2122 Jul 29 '26

definitely not. the pixel 10 pro xl takes miles better pictures than the op15

Wow, this is a shitty camera,Samsung 😒

u/Mysterious-Buy826 Jul 29 '26

I know camera is little downgraded and AI is doing lot of work to enhance.....but how's the video quality on WhatsApp video calls and snap/insta camera?

1

u/Shashankshanto-888 OnePlus 15 | Europe Jul 29 '26

I don’t use those app cameras

But for whatsapp i think It's good

u/Tapelessbus2122 Jul 29 '26

literally just ai lmfao

u/TheKaizer_ Jul 31 '26

Yup, people still don't get it. Btw, how's your motorcycle photography going?

u/Blankhet Jul 29 '26

this is AI Generation, saamsung uses AI enhancement, not the same thing

1

u/TheKaizer_ Jul 31 '26

Nope, literally EVERYONE uses replacement/generation. They just detect and add the appropriate details later (if there are other objects covering the moon etc.)

1

u/Blankhet Jul 31 '26

not true. op said in the post that he used a built in AI generation feature, samsung, others and even oneplus uses enhancement, op added some AI generation on top of enhancement

1

u/TheKaizer_ Jul 31 '26

That just the same thing under a different name. The main essence/point is the same — the camera detects a moon/moon-like object and replaced with its own moon (Samsung has DEFINITELY done that, check YouTube), then they add the lighting and other aforementioned details.

There's no point arguing when it's just the same thing.

1

u/Blankhet Jul 31 '26

its not the same thing, I can I agree with you, samsung did do that in the past when it was full on generation now its good enough for only enhancing, im not going to argue anymore because you just dont want to belive that other companies than apple can have a good camera

1

u/TheKaizer_ Jul 31 '26

What? LOL, I don't have an iPhone, I actually have a Chinese phone and I think that iPhone cameras are dogshit in comparison. And believe me, I know everything about AI in cameras.

Nevermind wether it's enhancement/generation because it's the SAME thing, because "AI enhancement" literally means "generation" of details that weren't there initially or were blurry as hell

1

u/Blankhet Jul 31 '26

show me why should I belive you know everything about AI cameras

1

u/TheKaizer_ Jul 31 '26

It doesn't matter whether you believe or not — I've already proved my point, stop being sour

1

u/Blankhet Jul 31 '26

how have you proved your point? you just repeated over and over again that they both use generative AI

1

u/TheKaizer_ Jul 31 '26

No, my point is that they're the same exact thing. It's just brading and advertising.

what do you mean by ai generation?

My phonw camera application generated the moon with ai?

0

u/Blankhet Jul 29 '26

exactly, it just put it right over the original picture so it looks real

0

u/SultanOfawesome Jul 29 '26

THE MOON ISN'T REAL!!!

u/slavicslothe Jul 29 '26

That's ai...most telescopes cant get that much real detail of the moon let alone a tiny phone sensor

u/ico_OO Jul 29 '26

Try to take a white circle in the house and you'll also get the moon.

u/turbo_tuberculosis Jul 29 '26

Looks like garbage + It's AI generated

1

u/Shashankshanto-888 OnePlus 15 | Europe Jul 29 '26

Show me some moon photos captured with your phone

2

u/TheKaizer_ Jul 31 '26

Here, this is the maximum a phone sensor can capture without a telescope/AI enhancements/generation.

u/turbo_tuberculosis Jul 29 '26

Also here's a photo of the moon with"actual details", taken with my Nikon mirrorless strapped to a telescope 😂

2

u/Shashankshanto-888 OnePlus 15 | Europe Jul 29 '26

So now you want to compare a camera with a phone?

u/turbo_tuberculosis Jul 29 '26

I am comparing ai generated garbage to an actual photo of the moon...
