HIGHLIGHT
- OnePlus 8 Pro color filter lens could be disabled in India
- The color filter lens has been in the news lately for all the wrong reasons
- OnePlus 8 Pro is still for sale in India
Despite OnePlus 8 going on sale in the country, OnePlus 8 Pro will not yet be made available to Indian buyers to purchase. But when it finally does, it looks like it would be without the controversial color filter camera that has been in the news for the wrong reasons for the past few days.
This camera has been the subject of much debate, as it was recently discovered that it can look through thin surfaces and even clothing under certain conditions. Previously, news of this behavior came up when photos were clicked using Photochrom mode in certain situations with OnePlus 8 Pro. Since then, the problem has become a headache for OnePlus, who had previously been talking about the lens. Color Filter, as it was unique to click on photos with false-color filters on them.
To address the issue, the company had announced the temporary deactivation of this target on OnePlus 8 Pro units via a software update, though only on OnePlus 8 Pro units with HydrogenOS in China. But it looks like India could end up being the world's first market outside of China, where OnePlus 8 Pro can now disable this lens.
Interestingly, a report from XDA Developers states that this will be done in units sold in India out of the box. Citing the results of a modification made to the latest OnePlus' OxygenOS code, the publication claims that software preloaded on OnePlus 8 Pro units in India will prevent user access to the phone's color-filtered camera.
While this may be the case, it would be important not to forget that in all likelihood it would be a temporary measure, one that the company would reverse once it comes out with a suitable solution for X-ray vision on the phone. This is because the color filter camera, combined with phones and other camera lenses, make up one of the OnePlus 8 Pro's best-selling USPs.
In addition to the 5-megapixel color filter lens, the OnePlus 8 Pro also has other powerful camera hardware. At the center is a 48-megapixel Sony IMX689 primary lens located alongside another 48-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens that features a 120-degree field of view. The two have been combined with an 8-megapixel telephoto lens and a 5-megapixel color filter lens. On the front, we have a Sony IMX471 lens with a sensor size of 16 megapixels.
