Using the modded GCam moves the OP5 (and presumably 5T as well) from poor to acceptable anyway. It's less a hardware issue and more a software one.

Gsmarena didn't think that it's bad either. Imo the shots looked quite good but they should really improve how they process those images. It's not optimal for vegetation. It's fine if you downsample the images a bit though.CNet editor doesn't think the Camera is too bad. Just one person but still, it's not a dumpster fire or anything.

great analysisThe Verge has a nice review/summary of the OnePlus 5T which I would have to agree with based on owning all of the past OnePlus phones from the One up through and including the 5.
Great hardware. Average or better camera. Good software. Questionable updates and support.
If you are comfortable rooting and flashing your phone a OnePlus phone is a great option.
If you just want to setup and use your phone, get regular updates and just have your device work with few issues then you might want to look to other OEM's with better policies regarding support and/or updates.

OnePlus' device support outlook
OnePlus' Android update policy hasn't really changed from the OnePlus 5, which is to say, there is no official update policy. Even after asking OnePlus, we were told there's no promise of monthly updates, and there's no designated "x years of support" window. OnePlus reps we spoke to would only say to look at what the company has done in the past.
So, let's do that: OnePlus supported the OnePlus 2 with major updates for less than one year. The device, released in August 2015, did not get an update to Android 7.0 Nougat, which was released in August 2016. OnePlus does still ship quarterly security updates for the Android 6.0 device, though, with the most recent one arriving in October.
Things seem a little better for the OnePlus 3 and 3T, which got an official upgrade to Oreo over the weekend. There's no telling how long OnePlus will support the 3 and 3T, but so far the support window seems longer than the OnePlus 2. OnePlus told us the 5 and 5T will have an Oreo beta by the end of the year and a final release by Q1 2018.
The OnePlus 5, 3T, and 3 have been getting new updates several times a month, which usually arrive in the latest security update. Sometimes these are about a month late, and other times they are on time with the more security-conscious OEMs. OnePlus also seems to go out of its way to ship fixes for high-profile vulnerabilities, like when it shipped the KRACK WPA2 vulnerability in October (making it one of the first OEMs to patch it). OnePlus posts every update release on its website for each device, making update history and release notes very easy to track.
While OnePlus makes great hardware and software at a great price, the company often seems determined to shoot itself in the foot with software oversights or anti-consumer moves that generate terrible PR. This month, for instance, it left an engineering APK in its production software that contained a root backdoor. Last month, it was caught collecting personally identifiable analytics data (like phone numbers!) without informing users or asking them if they want to opt in. Earlier this year, the company sent push ads to customers.
At the end of its various controversies, OnePlus usually does the right thing. It is issuing an update to remove the engineering APK, it's deleting analytics data and updating phones to requiring an opt in, and it's allowing users to block the push ads. But why does the company keep doing these things in the first place? OnePlus' continual stream of stupid blunders and lack of concrete update promises makes it hard to trust the company. Right now it feels like OnePlus could do something bad to your software or drop support for the device at any time. So I'll say the same thing I said with the OnePlus 5: the best thing OnePlus can do to improve the outlook of this phone is immediately announce a standard update program with timely monthly updates and two years of major update support.
xes for high-profile vulnerabilities, like when it shipped the KRACK WPA2 vulnerability in October (making it one of the first OEMs to patch it). OnePlus posts every update release on its website for each device, making update history and release notes very easy to track.

This is me. A phone is primarily my main communications and portable computing tool. Camera is about the 5th or 6th most important thing to me. All I care is that it takes decent snapshots.It's always funny how people expect OnePlus phones to be virtually as good as the best flagship phones for half the price. Like those people who buy the $700 4K TV because they heard it has good quality for the money, but somehow thought that meant it was as good as a $2,000 OLED set.
No, even with the OPO the goal was more to get close enough to the highest-end phones at a significantly lower price. If you don't demand Pixel 2-quality photos or the highest resolution screen you can get, a OnePlus 5T will hit almost all of the marks: tall screen, dual cameras (albeit not with zoom), a modern processor and lots of storage. If I wanted a big-screen Android phone and couldn't swallow the cost of a Pixel 2 XL, I'd be all over this.
So far I'm getting great battery life (more than one day and 6plus hour of OST), don't us my phone camera much
I'm sticking with my 5, though the bigger screen looks nice. How do you like the rear sensor compared to the front? I'm not a big fan of putting the sensor on the back.Yeah the battery life is awesome...but I don't feel like the phone was a substantial upgrade from my OnePlus 3T...and probably shouldn't have bought it.
