OnePlus and Hasselblad discuss motivation for OnePlus 9 Pro partnership

OnePlus will be launching its new flagship, the OnePlus 9 Pro, soon, and its stand-out feature will be its partnership with high-end camera brand Hasselblad.

In a short video, the company explained by it turned to Hasselblad to tune and improve their cameras.

In the video, OnePlus founder, CEO, and Chief Product Officer Pete Lau explained that customers were demanding better colour reproduction on their handsets.

One owner for example complained, “You need to improve your camera module on 8T, it’s the same as the 8. Little disappointing” while another said ” Unnatural colour tone. One Plus please fix.”

Lau noted that they needed to “work with a true heavyweight partner” to fix the issue, which is why they chose Hasselblad.

As part of the partnership, the two companies have entered into a 3-year deal to “co-develop the next generation of smartphone camera systems for future OnePlus flagship devices” and that includes tweaking the cameras’ colour reproduction to look more natural.

In the video Hasselblad’s Global Marketing Manager Bronius Rudnickas the companies managed to achieve their goal of great colour quality and that working with OnePlus meant their customers would be able to take their best shots.
