Announced last week, Apple's new iPhone 7 Plus is packed with numerous new features. But one of the most well-received upgrades is its dual camera system.

Apple claims that the smartphone will offer the 'best photography ever in a smartphone.' Of course, no one can support that claim since reviews of the phone are yet to be published.

But thanks to these first real-world images from the device, we can now get a look at the sort of images the iPhone 7 Plus can produce.

David E.Klutho, a Sports Illustrated photographer, was given the phone in covering a football game between the Tennessee Titans and Minnesota Vikings

Photos looked bright and colourful thanks to the phone's 12-megapixel camera that offers some pretty impressive zooming capabilities

The iPhone 7 Plus uses two separate cameras to address existing flaws in iPhones' photo quality. It has one 12-megapixel camera with a 28mm f1.8 lens and another 12-megapixel camera with a 56mm f2.8 lens.

The latter lens has been referred to as a ‘telephoto’ lens. It prevents distortion and shrinking of the subject in images which sometimes happens with the normal wide-angle (28mm) lens.

ESPN photographer Landon Nordeman also used the phone in New York to capture the US Open

The device is reportedly capable of performing better in low light situations and producing photos with more accurate colours. Of course, we don't see that in these photos because they were shot in daylight.

We have to admit, these photos are pretty stunning and impressive!
