Update, May 29, 2020 (10:00 AM ET): OnePlus got into some PR hot water recently with the discovery that the gimmicky color filter camera on the back of the OnePlus 8 Pro could be used as a sort of x-ray camera. In response, the company declared it would disable the camera temporarily through a OnePlus 8 Pro update, but only in its native China.
However, according to users on the OnePlus subreddit, an update is now rolling out to all OnePlus 8 Pro phones globally that has one specific purpose: disabling the color filter camera. The changelog and description are copied below:
- Camera
- Photochrome filter temporarily removed for adjustment. The feature is expected to come back around June, but exact time is subject to the latest official announcement.
The update is attached to the OnePlus 8 Pro update to Oxygen OS 10.5.9. As always, this update will be rolled out in phases. The OTA will reach a small percentage of users first, and a broader rollout will follow in a few days.
Welcome to the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro update hub. Here, you'll find everything you need to know about the latest Android updates for the two devices, including their current versions and when future updates are likely to arrive.
Both the 8 and 8 Pro run OxygenOS, OnePlus' proprietary Android skin. OxygenOS is known for fast updates that come for a very long time, so be sure to bookmark this page and visit often.
OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro updates
- Current stable version: Android 10
- When will the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro get Android 11? September 2020 (estimated)
The OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro launched on April 14, 2020. Both launched with the latest version of Android out-of-the-box: Android 10. We expect both devices to receive at least two major Android updates in the future — Android 11 in 2020 and Android 12 in 2021.
Days after the phones launched, OnePlus rolled out the Oxygen OS 10.5.4 update for the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro. It was a minor update, but brought Google's Live Caption feature to the phones. It also enhanced support for the OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z earbuds, optimized the cameras and fingerprint sensor, improved system stability and more.
However, a bunch of users started reporting the appearance of a green tint on the displays of their phones. Some also reported a black crush issue which made dark areas of the screen lose detail.
OnePlus then rolled out Oxygen OS 10.5.5 for both the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro. The update sort of fixed the green tint problem for some, but the black crush issue remained.
The changelog was also tight-lipped about the display problems. The only indication on it related to the display was a pointer noting "optimized the display effects," which doesn't clearly mean the green tint or black crush issue.
In early May, OnePlus rolled out Oxygen OS 10.5.6.IN11AA for the OnePlus 8 Pro and 10.5.5.IN21AA for the OnePlus 8. The changelog didn't clearly verify a fix for the display problems on the OnePlus 8 Pro, but mentioned general system, camera, and network improvements.
However, some users who received this update weren't too happy with it. A user on Reddit said that the update fixed the green tint issue on the OnePlus 8 Pro when DC Dimming was switched on, but it reappears when DC Dimming was switched off. Another user on OnePlus forums reports that the camera on the OnePlus 8 Pro became worse after the update and resulted in images showing random flares.
