OnePlus is currently rolling out OxygenOS 10.5.8/10.5.9/10.5.10 to OnePlus 8/8 Pro users worldwide. Despite being different build versions for various regions, they come with a common changelog. This new system update is all about fixes and optimizations for a number of things including the infamous “photochrom filter”.
The OnePlus 8 Pro comes with a fourth color filter camera. This sensor is capable of seeing through thin plastics and clothes. It can be accessed by using the “photochrom filter” in the OnePlus Camera app.
Due to the concerns raised by the public, the company disabled this filter temporarily and has been even selling the Indian units without this filter.
Though the “photochrom filter” was added back in June as promised, now, with the latest update, it no longer uses the color filter sensor. Because the company has now implemented this filter on the ultra-wide camera. Hence, users cannot see through thin plastics and clothes anymore.
But now, a big question arises as noted by XDA Developers. If this feature is possible without the color filter sensor, then why include it in the first place?
That said, here’s the official changelog for OnePlus 8/8 Pro OxygenOS 10.5.8/10.5.9/10.5.10
