With its uncompromising grade uncompromising processor, the iPhone SE looked unbeatable in the mid-range segment, but now it looks like a new smartphone will crush Apple’s entry-level smartphone in a major area.
In an official Instagram post, OnePlus confirmed today that the company’s first mid-range phone, the Nord, will ship with two selfie cameras that offer an ultra-wide field of view of 105 degrees. This ultra-wide front camera allows you to put more people in group selfies and capture much more of the background in solo shots without the need for a selfie stick.
The iPhone SE, on the other hand, makes it harder to capture shots like these than other current iPhones. This is because Apple’s entry-level model comes with a 32mm equivalent selfie camera that frames a significantly tighter shot than the 23mm equivalent lenses included in the iPhone 11 range.
Per the specs released today, the OnePlus Nord front camera should be able to shoot more than twice the width of the iPhone SE and significantly wider than the line of the iPhone 11 as well.
Other previously leaked OnePlus Nord photographic features include a quad main camera setup, featuring a 48-megapixel main sensor along with ultra-large 5-megapixel and 8-megapixel macro and 5-megapixel and 2-megapixel macro modules. While Nord’s long-awaited Snapdragon 765G is no match for the iPhone A Apple B13 Bionic chipset, OnePlus certainly seems to have the upper hand when it comes to camera features.
The features alone, of course, aren’t a guarantee of quality, but it will all be revealed on July 21 at the promised launch of OnePlus AR-based products.
