The OnePlus 8 Pro’s novel colour filter camera will be disabled via a future update owing to privacy concerns raised by users
Update (May 19): OnePlus has confirmed that the camera will only be disabled for the Chinese users and not for global users.
In an unsurprising turn of events, OnePlus will be disabling the colour filter camera on the 8 Pro via an OTA update this week, addressing the privacy issues that were raised by the early users.
The OnePlus 8 Pro has a quad-camera setup, with three lenses at different focal lengths and a fourth colour filter photochrom sensor. This was the first time a sensor of this nature featured on a smartphone. It was meant to turn ordinary scenes into “surreal landscapes”.
