But underneath there is much more and in fact the attention of the brand wants to dwell here on the work of all the engineers who photo form king of this year. The research of the developers lasted two years and produced what is currently the best photographic sector in the smartphone scene.

With the creation of the Sony IMX789 48 megapixel OnePlus 9 Pro did not want to break the record, but to create a perfect balance between performance and optic size.
