The OnePlus 6 is equipped with a rear camera of 16MP f/1.7 IMX519 sensor + 20MP f/1.7 Sony IMX376 sensor w/ PDAF, 2x zoom, OIS, EIS, and LED flash while the Selfie Camera is a 16MP f/1.7 IMX371.

The UI has been tweaked slightly from the UI from the OnePlus 5T. It is also curious now that OnePlus has decided to have the second camera on the rear side to be focusing in improving low light images and portrait mode.

Anyway, here are some of our first few shots. Check it out!

The OnePlus 6 is able to take pin sharp images with vibrant and accurate color with decent contrast and depth in day light for both the rear and selfie cameras. The non-portrait mode bokeh is pleasing compared to other phones as well.

In indoor and low light, the images remain sharp enough but the noise and noise reduction visibly soften the image. What is great though is the minimal color cast even in the dim lit situation. 

However, the OnePlus seems to struggle with balancing the exposure the where there are bright light sources in low light scenarios. This results in over exposed areas with a light source. This is true fro the main and selfie camera.

We will have to do more testing to really see where it stacks up!

We'll check it out further in the next few days. Watch out for our complete camera review in our full review.
