OnePlus 3 vs Apple iPhone 6s Plus camera comparison: What sets them apart [VIDEO]

OnePlus has only been around for a relatively short period of time but the Chinese smartphone manufacturer has already won hearts with its quality handsets. The company’s previous flagship, the OnePlus 3, is regarded as a bang-for-the-buck device due to its affordable price, great specs and excellent cameras. Let’s see how the OnePlus 3 fares, though, against another outstanding former flagship, the Apple iPhone 6s Plus, in a camera showdown.

The OnePlus 3 sports a 16MP primary camera with a wider f/2.0 aperture. It has phase detection autofocus, optical image stabilisation (OIS), LED flash, geo-tagging, panorama and HDR. The OnePlus 3’s main camera is able to produce 720p, 1080p and 4K videos at 30FPS, with an option for HD 60FPS videos as well.

The OnePlus 3 is consistent and reliable in almost any setting and rarely needs more than one attempt to capture a perfect shot. According to GSMArena, the OnePlus handset delivers lots of details but also keeps the noise levels well-adjusted. Colours are adequately balanced with hints of warm tint every now and then. The 8MP f/2.0 selfie camera of the OnePlus 3 is also outstanding, able to create surprisingly comprehensive shots.

The iPhone 6s Plus, meanwhile, has a 12MP rear camera with an f/2.2 lens. Just like the OnePlus 3, the Apple handset has phase detection autofocus and OIS, which is very helpful when taking shots with shaky hands. The main difference between the two flagships is that the iPhone has dual-LED flash.

The iPhone 6s Plus’ primary camera has support for 4K video and 8MP image recording, as well as features like HDR, touch focus and face detection. The front-facing camera of the iPhone 6s Plus is a 5MP f/2.2 snapper and has the same features as its main camera save for OIS. The secondary camera produces outstanding 1080p HD videos at 30FPS and 720p slow motion videos at 240FPS.
