In a blog post, Simon Liu, Imaging Director for OnePlus Nord revealed that the phone features a quad camera setup on the back which consists of a primary 48MP camera, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera, a 5MP depth sensor and a macro camera.

The primary rear camera uses the Sony IMX586 sensor with an f/1.75 aperture and OIS support.
