- The Galaxy S10 that starts at $900 has one of the better smartphone cameras out there, but my recent test shows that the OnePlus 7 Pro that starts at $670 takes better photos.
- That’s not to say the Samsung Galaxy S10 has a bad camera. It’s more that the OnePlus 7 Pro has a better camera, at least in my opinion.
- I should note that while I used the Galaxy S10 as my main phone, I was never disappointed with the photos it took. And I’m still not disappointed now.

If a phone is more expensive than another, it must have a better camera, right?
The OnePlus 7 Pro, which starts at $670 unlocked and $700 at T-Mobile, shows how price tags don’t matter.
That applies to pretty much everything about the OnePlus 7 Pro. Nearly everything about it is as good or better than the top smartphones with $900-plus asking prices. (OnePlus phones are popular around the world, but relatively few in the US have heard of the company, which only recently started selling its phones in carrier stores.)
But, today, we’re talking specifically about the cameras on the $670 OnePlus 7 Pro compared to those on the $900 Galaxy S10. In most cases, the OnePlus 7 Pro takes better photos, at least in my opinion.
If you don’t believe me, check out the photos for yourself:

Now here’s the same photo taken with the Galaxy S10.

Right off the bat, the Galaxy S10’s photo has more saturated colors than the OnePlus 7 Pro’s photo, as well as better contrast between lighter and darker areas, which makes for better depth.
With that said, the Galaxy S10’s photo has an incredibly blue tint to it. Everything looks so blue! The OnePlus 7 Pro does a better job of capturing more balanced colors that look truer to real life.
It’s harder to tell from a small photo, but the Galaxy S10’s photo is slightly sharper than the OnePlus 7 Pro’s. Still, the difference is negligible when you’re not pixel peeping, like I am right now.
The OnePlus 7 Pro has a 3X zoomed lens, which makes for great zoomed shots of details from afar.
