OnePlus 6T was the flagship killer launched by the Chinese brand in November 2018. One of the major upgrades from its OnePlus 6 model, was the in-screen fingerprint scanner alongside other hardware updates. 6T featured a dual-camera setup at the rear (16+20 MP) and was the best camera launched by the company until the OnePlus 7 in the following year. This post helps you replace that setup and its detailed explanation ensures that you perform this procedure in the best way possible.

Do you need to replace the glue when reassembling?
It was sufficient for me to re-heat the adhesive from the phone.
Also, I used a pair of tweezers to lift the initial corner, which was a breeze compared to the Jimmy’s as suggested by the guide.
The gaps were very tight. After warming the adhesive, it was helpful to have a helper use a suction cup to tug on the back to enlarge the gap for the jimmy.
Theres a big patch of glue on the right side of the camera. Be careful with this part, cuz ure proabably under the curved side trying to get inbetween and in my case this shattered the coating of the backside of my phone. It still works, but it has a spider skin on the back now.
