OnePlus 8 Pro comes with a color filter camera. This camera is capable of seeing through thin plastics and clothes. Thus, the company announced to disable it in the Chinese variant of the handset running HydrogenOS. But accidentally, the brand disabled it in the global version as well via OxygenOS 10.5.9 OTA. But now, it is re-enabling the ‘photochrom’ filter through new OxygenOS 10.5.10 update.
Last week, OnePlus began to roll out May 2020 security patch update to the OnePlus 8 series worldwide. This patch comes as OxygenOS 10.5.10 for Global and Indian variants of OnePlus 8 Pro.
Surprisingly, the changelog for the update does not mention anything about the re-enabling of ‘photochrom’ filter in the camera app. Having said that, this change is only applicable to the global variant of the handset.
The European version of OnePlus 8 Pro never received the update disabling the color filter camera in the first place. Also, though the Indian variant is receiving the same build as global, it does not re-enable the filter.
Because OnePlus has already announced that the handset will go on sale in India with the color filter camera disabled. However, it did confirm to enable it at the end of June via a new OTA update.
