Much-Improved 64MP Main Camera

While we don’t expect huge upgrades in the camera department, we can surely bet on a lot of enhancements. According to several rumours, OnePlus is all geared up to fit a 64MP main camera to the 8T series, up from the 8 series’ 48MP sensors.

Notably, some lines of code found in the latest OnePlus Camera v5.4.23 app have also revealed interesting details about the OnePlus 8T camera. As per the leaks, the brand will take advantage of pixel binning to reduce noise and offer a better dynamic range.
