The IMX214 is in fact a 13-megapixel camera that has an aperture of f/2.0, which is specially designed for taking pictures in low lighting environment. More to it, while most smartphone cameras enhance 5 lenses, OnePlus has added itself six lens optics to make the camera correct or remove low aperture distortion and enhance the quality and the colors of the images being taken. However, the only manufacturer on the market to sport five lens optics is the Samsung`s Galaxy S5.
