Digital Camera World Verdict

The OnePlus 6T is a very capable camera phone. It’s powerful and has camera specs that are impressive. While most of the updates to the camera come from software enhancements, these really do make a difference. And, given the OnePlus 6 camera is still fantastic, these enhancements strengthen what is already a strong photography foundation.

Pros

  • +

    Quick Night mode

  • +

    Studio Lighting really effective

Cons

  • -

    Lens hardware hasn’t changed

  • -

    Night mode not as good as rivals

The launch of the OnePlus 6T has gotten a lot of attention for all the right reasons. The new handset is a decent upgrade from the OnePlus 6, adding in a powerful performance punch while improving a variety of other areas of the handset as well. 

The OnePlus 6T is one of the best camera phones you can buy right now. Don’t come to it expecting a wholly different handset from the OnePlus 6, though. The OnePlus 6T is very much a refinement of what came before it. And this is none more true than the phone’s camera.
