In terms of camera, the OnePlus 6T comes equipped with a 16MP + 20MP dual camera setup with Sony IMX 519 and Sony IMX 376K sensors respectively. Both the sensors are paired with a f/1.7 aperture lens but the 16MP primary camera comes with 1.22µm pixel size, while the secondary 20MP sensor has a pixel pitch of 1.0µm. The main camera supports Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS), Electronic Image Stabilisation (EIS) and as AI based stabilisation, AIS.
