You may remember that the OnePlus Nord comes with a dual front end camera organization, with a 32MP main lens and an 8MP ultrawide lens with a 105-caste field of view. Naturally nosotros accept questions on what this means for the OnePlus 8T, specifically what resolution nosotros should expect and whether this ways the telephone will have a dual camera setup on the front end.

Sadly, leaks suggest that the telephone will only take a single front camera, and that it will offer 16MP of resolution. That'southward less than the 32MP on the Nord'due south primary front camera, but double the resolution of its ultrawide lens. It'southward too the exact same resolution as the front camera on the OnePlus 8, so it's certainly not a downgrade.

An ultrawide lens certainly has benefits yous don't become with a typical wide angle lens, as the proper noun suggests. A wider angle means you can become more into frame, making it ideal for grouping shots or grabbing a selfie in front of something rather large.

As for the rear camera, leaks claim that we'll be getting a quad lens arrangement featuring a 48MP main sensor, a 16MP ultrawide sensor, a 5MP macro lens and a 2MP depth sensor. And then once again, pretty similar to the Nord's rear camera setup, just with better ultrawide resolution.

The OnePlus 8T is fix to launch on October 14, which is next Wednesday. So nosotros don't have long to expect earlier OnePlus spills all the details.
