Can we fix it?
Inour review of the OnePlus 7 Pro, we mentioned that the triple-lens rear camera is “good, but not great”, so if the software updates to the phone make a significant difference we’ll be sure to let you know.
It’s notthe first software updatethe OnePlus 7 Pro has received in its short life and it’s not going to be the last either – OnePlus has said it’s investigating issues withphantom taps being registeredon the screen, though a fix isn’t included this time round.
As we know from the quality of pictures thatthe Pixel phonesare capable of – phones with a single 12.2-megapixel camera lens – image processing on the software side can make a big difference to the quality of a final shot.
