OnePlus 8 Pro OxygenOS 10.5.10 update brings back the ‘X-ray vision’ Photochrom filter

The latest update also enables other features including H.265 video recording support, May 2020 security patches, and brings some fixes to the OnePlus 8 Pro.

If there was one thing bigger than the hype of the flagship OnePlus 8 Pro, it was the controversy stirred up by a neat feature on the phone that apparently even the brand themselves either forgot about or ignored. The fourth color-filter camera sensor on the OnePlus 8 Pro allowed people to ‘see-through’ certain types of plastics when used with a particular filter via the OnePlus Camera app. Also Read – OnePlus 8 5G sale in India today: Price, offers, full specifications, and other details

However, upon the revelation of the feature, OnePlus decided to drop support for the feature, which by now was dubbed “X-ray vision” by publications across the globe. In a later report, it was revealed that OnePlus was only going to disable the feature in home-country China in the next HydrogenOS update. The brand then accidentally disabled the feature in global OxygenOS ROMs as well. Also Read – OnePlus 8 series Google One 100GB offer is for 3 months: Check details

However, with the latest OxygenOS 10.5.10 update for the OnePlus 8 Pro, the popular feature is back. The sensor was always there, however, OnePlus had removed the ‘Photochrom’ filter from the app which is necessary for the X-ray feature to work. The filter is back with the latest update. Also Read – OnePlus 8 review: Buy the phone if quality and performance matters

Strangely enough, OnePlus did not mention the return of the filter in its lengthy changelog for the new OnePlus 8 Pro update. Even though the changelog mentions quite a few camera-related changes, the re-emergence of the Photochrom filter was silent. The latest update also enables other features including H.265 video recording support, May 2020 security patches, and brings some fixes to the OnePlus 8 Pro.
