JANUARY 2020 PCWorld 55The OnePlus 7T might not be on the same level as the iPhone 11 or Pixel 4 XL, but it’s capable of taking
mind-blowing pictures.
very well. You can quibble with skin tone and
saturation (I personally prefer the Pixel 4 XL’s),
but for the most part they all handle portraits
very well.
Everyday shots come down to little
details as well. Take these shots of a tree.
Good bark, contrast, and color detail are
present in all four pictures, but you can see
how the OnePlus 7T lags a bit compared to
its higher-priced peers, mainly due to
autofocus issues. The iPhone 11 and Pixel 4
XL captured the deep maroon best, but
again, I’m splitting hairs.
For example, if you had to guess which
camera took the photos of the flowers, you’d
probably guess the iPhone 11 or Pixel 4, but
they were actually snapped with the OnePlus
7T. Granted they were taken in ideal lighting,
but they underscore just how far OnePlus has
come with its smartphone photography.
Winner: iPhone 11PRICE
While you’d expect to pay about the same
price for any of four smartphones with the
best processor, screen, design, and cameras
you can buy, that’s not the case:
OnePlus 7T: $599
iPhone 11: $699
Pixel 4 XL: $899
Galaxy S10+: $1,000
That’s a $400 gap between the Galaxy
S10+ and the OnePlus 7T, and well, if you’ve
gotten this far, you know that the S10+ isn’t
$400 better than the 7T. Quite frankly it’s not
$300 better than the iPhone 11, either. Apple
shocked the world by lowering the price of
the iPhone 11 compared to its iPhone XR
