Mediocre camera performance reviews due to sensors or processing?

I was wondering about this: are the sensors used in the 5T top of the line current generation sensors, or are they the reason the performance is poor compared to top flagships like the Pixel 2 or Note 8?

They're probably the reason. OnePlus was designed for a pure performance standpoint. Flagship performance at high mid range pricing. Something has got to give for the company to still turn up profits. Like screens, sensors, etc.

Basically I personally look at OnePlus phones as taking a high mid range device like Galaxy A or LG Q and then putting flagship SoCs and RAM in them. It's going to perform as fast or even faster than the Galaxy S/Notr or LG G/V, but it's other things like screen quality or cameras may not come up to par.

OK, thanks. If anybody knows the sensors that are in there let me know. I'm curious.

It's got to be a combination of both.

I think it was on AC I read something a while back about how the best image processing software alone is so expensive to license that only the biggest manufacturers can afford to use it.
