After disabling the colour filter camera on the Chinese variants, the Indian OnePlus 8 Pro units might be next in the line.
OnePlus announced its 8 and 8 Pro smartphones a couple of months ago. While the 8 Pro is yet to go on sale in India, the device has been in the news for a fair bit of time now.
First, it was for the display-related issue where few people claimed a green tint appeared on a part of the display when the phone was in dim-light settings. And, then it was the colour filter photochrom sensor which could see through plastics and even clothes if they are thin enough. This could lead to privacy issues on some occasions.
OnePlus acknowledged this and Pete Lau, the CEO, posted on Weibo saying this issue will be solved with a new OTA update where they will be disabling the filter function. Later on, it was confirmed that the update will be only for the Chinese version.
However, OnePlus “accidentally” pushed the OTA globally and the filter was disabled even on the global variants.
