These days, it's rare that I'm truly wowed by a phone. This is mostly because so many devices have become so good over the past few years. And after using Pixel phones for some time now (my daily driver being aPixel 6 Pro ), I feel like I've been spoiled...especially when it comes to cameras.

So when I receive aOnePlus 10 Pro to review, my initial thought was it would wind up being yet another standard affair with another Android phone that either doesn't stand up to what I've been accustomed to using or doesn't impress me enough to think there might be something better.

Boy, was I wrong.

My original plan was to do a general review of the OnePlus 10 Pro. However, my colleague, Sandra Vogel beat me to that particular punch in her review, "OnePlus 10 Pro review: A superb screen heads up an excellent-value specification." With that in mind, I thought I'd take a different approach and review the one aspect of the device that impressed me so much, I am seriously considering dropping the Pixel 6 Pro and moving to the OnePlus 10 Pro.

The aspect in question is the camera.

OnePlus paired with Hasselblad to tune the camera. Why should this matter? First off, Hasselblad cameras have taken some of the most iconic photos of the century. What makes Hasselblad cameras so unique is their massive sensors, which lead to larger pixels, lower noise, and a wider dynamic range. Hasselblad has been in the industry since 1841 and has a storied history of making some of the most remarkable cameras in the world. Those modern Hasselblad cameras can easily cost you over$30,000 and the results they produce are second to none.

So when OnePlus partnered with Hasselblad to fine-tune the cameras for the 10 Pro, it's a big deal and the results show it.
