On the other hand, the incredible OnePlus 3T has practically the same 16MP primary camera as the Nokia 6, but this one has a Sony IMX 29 sensor. In fact, the Chinese mobile device also has the PDAF support, and offers an aperture of f/2.0, being better than the Finnish mobile device on the front camera, thanks on the pixel count alone, since it has a 16MP selfie snapper that is equipped with the Samsung 3P8Sp sensor and an aperture of f/1.0. In fact, the OnePlus 3T provides 4K video recording at 30 fps, which is actually better than the 1080p that the Nokia 6 offers.

Another important detail in which is necessary to compare the cameras of the Nokia 6 and the OnePlus 3T is the long-range photography, given the fact that in this filed the Finnish budget smartphone has a much clearer focusing mechanism than the Chinese, but this one offers a clearer image when zooming, considering that the Nokia 6 has a slight dullness in the image when zoomed in.
Finally, is obvious that in the Night mode field, OnePlus 3T´s photos are impossible to beat, thanks to the incredible efforts that the Chinese company put in this area. However, even when it can´t excel it, the Nokia 6 has an almost perfect shot in low light, which represent a great offer for customers that wants to buy latest budget smartphone that shows an outstanding performance in this field.
