We asked, you told us: OnePlus needs a ‘miracle’ to improve camera quality

July 22, 2025

OnePlus remains well-loved by fans for offering devices with flagship-level features but usually below premium flagship prices. But some features — like camera quality — arguably still suffer more than others.

While theOnePlus 8 Prois seemingly a taste of better things to come in this regard, co-founder and CEO Pete Lau has committed to investing hugely into the company’s future camera program. Even with this affirmation, OnePlus still has a mountain to climb before it topples the current smartphone camera elite.

Do you think OnePlus will take the photography crown in 2021?

We gave readers the chance to vote on YouTube, Twitter, and our website. While the varied platforms usually give equally varied peeks into user sentiment around the internet, it seems no one has faith in OnePlus.  All three platforms provided one-sided results.

On the website, we received around 1,500 votes but just 33.8% of respondents believed OnePlus could accomplish its mission. This would suggest that some of OnePlus’ most ardent fans voted here.

The negative sentiment was more pronounced onTwitter. Nearly 84% of the 4,200 voters believed that OnePlus would not be able to top the 2021 camera quality charts.YouTubemirrored this, with 82% of respondents doubtful of the company’s goal.
