Original Story

OnePlus is rolling out a new system update for its 2018 flagship smartphone and its most affordable 2020 budget smartphone. These devices are none other than the OnePlus 6/6T and the OnePlus Nord N100. For the former, the latest update arrives as OxygenOS 10.3.11. Whereas, for the latter, the update is called OxygenOS 10.5.8 (NA) / 10.5.10 (EU).

The latest system update for OnePlus 6, OnePlus 6T, and OnePlus Nord N100 do not bring any new features. Instead, the only update comes with May 2021 security patches, fixes for some known issues, and improvements for system stability.

Anyway, at least these devices are receiving security patches. Hopefully, the new builds don’t introduce new bugs and issues. As far as the availability of this update is concerned, it is being rolled out in batches. Hence, it may take some time to reach every unit.

As far as Android 11 is concerned, OnePlus has confirmed to release OxygenOS 11 Open Beta for the OnePlus 6 and the OnePlus 6T in August. However, interested users can already experience last year’s Android version by installing LineageOS 18.1.

On the other hand, OnePlus is yet to officially reveal the availability of the Android 11 update for the OnePlus Nord N100. But what we know is that it will be the only major software update for this handset.

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
