OnePlus has been working to improve the camera performance on its phones recently. And it looks like it's carrying that tradition on with the upcoming OnePlus 8T. One area it's improving on is its low-light shooting capability. The company teased a cityscape photo taken at dawn. While the picture looks a bit over-sharpened, you do see a fair amount of detail and excellent colour reproduction, too.

The OnePlus 8T is rumoured to be getting the OnePlus 8 Pro's primary camera, which is good news, if true. On top of that, the handset is rumoured to get a 120Hz display sans curves, a faster 65-watt charging system, and more. OnePlus will be launching the 8T on October 14.
