OnePlus 8 Pro Update Fixes Built-in “X-Ray” Vision Bug

Jul. 8, 2020

OnePlus has reportedly fixed thecontroversial x-ray vision on OnePlus 8 Procaused due to the Photochrom filter, with the latest OxygenOS 10.5.10 update. OnePlus 8 Pro users will no longer be able to see through certain plastic materials. According to a report fromXDA Developers, theupdate is currently rolling out for OnePlus 8 Pro customers in Europe.

In fact, OnePlus’ fix to this see-through problem isn’t as ideal as you would expect. Instead of fixing the implementation, thecompany has apparently switched the Photochrom filter to the wide-angle camera. It remains uncertain why OnePlus added a dedicated sensor if it was capable of achieving the same result with the usual wide-angle sensor.

Also, now that it works with just the wide-angle lens, we will have to wait to see if the company would enable the feature on other OnePlus devices with a wide-angle sensor.

In addition to adjustments in terms of camera, the update also brings improved stability, optimized power consumption & touch interaction, and June security patch. Also, take a look at the changelog below:

Now that the update is live in Europe, we could expect the company to roll out the update to all regions in the coming weeks.
