Three cameras, two hits. Both the main camera and the normal focal length of the Neo are good. However, the ultra-wide-angle can only be used to a limited extent even in good lighting conditions.
Wide angle (main camera) – 1.8/5.6 mm lens
(35mm equivalent: 26 mm), 50 MP sensor, JPEG with 12 or 50 MP
The main camera can take pictures with both the reduced resolution of 12 MP and the maximum of 50MP. Our rating is based on the pictures with the smaller resolution, since they are ahead in total.
However, it is worth switching to the maximum resolution in high light: The resolution increases a bit and the signal processing works less aggressively, so the pictures appear more pleasant. However, Oppo does not come close to the quality of the 64MP JPEGs of Samsung's S21/S21 + even with 50 megapixel resolution and a lot of light.
Especially the 12MP pictures are quite stable across the light levels - the pixel binning pays off here. The hard signal processing contributes a bit to that - edges are sharpened, contrasts are increased. With increasing ISO, the stronger noise reduction leads to a higher artifact level and some structures get lost.
Normal focal length – 2.4/6.3 mm lens
(35mm equivalent: 52 mm), 13 MP sensor, JPEG with 12 MP
Neo and Pro offer an extra module with a normal focal length and 13MP sensor as the third camera. This solution pays off because the performance of the normal lens is good, but not without weaknesses.
Compared to wide-angle images, the "normal" JPEGs show a lower level of detail. In high light, the drop in fine detail is slight, the visible noise a bit more noticeable - the more aggressive signal processing compared to wide-angle is more distracting and further reduces the image impression. In lower light (200 lux), Neo and Pro still manage to deliver acceptable images, but then degrade significantly compared to wide-angle. Artifacts increase and alienate fine structures. The standard focal length is no longer convincing in night shots (5 Lux) - the image is poor in detail and looks too artificial.
Super wide angle – 2.2/1.9 mm lens
(35mm equivalent: 13 mm), 16 MP sensor, JPEG with 16 MP
The Neo has a module with 16 megapixels installed. It doesn't stand a chance against the 50MP ultra-wide angle of the Find X3 Pro. Even though it performs better than the Ultra-wide-angle of the Lite (8MP module), it can hardly convince overall. In high light (5000 Lux), it does not get beyond "acceptable" - we expected more here. However, the pictures lack sharpness - perhaps a problem of the missing autofocus. The picture quality drops further with decreasing light. We already recommend switching to the main camera in lower light (200 lux). click to enlarge
