10 ANDROID ADVISOR • ISSUE 45
REVIEW
Cameras
The camera set up is now two Sony sensors. The
main is 16Mp with f/1.7 aperture while the secondary
is a 20Mp with f/1.7 aperture. This is an upgrade
from the OnePlus 5, whose secondary camera was
an f/2.6 telephoto lens.
With improved aperture, OnePlus claims the 5T
is its best ever phone for low light photography
(image 1), and this appears to hold true.
We noticed that it takes a lot for the second sensor
to even kick in though, and it feels a bit redundant
as an inclusion. It’s not needed at all for zoom, and
is best reserved for portrait mode. This, like on the
OnePlus 5, performs with mixed results.1.
