OnePlus 8 Pro's color filter camera will be disabled only in China

20 May 2020
A fix is on the way to deliver the Photocrome feature but limiting its functionality because of the privacy concerns.

Sort by:

Oneplus should have a price cut for the 8 pro in case they actually decide to disable the color sensor. They should even offer refunds to customers who had already bought the device. Even if nobody actually knew what this sensor was here for in the first place, the price of this piece of hardware is included in the total price of the device. Disabling, this sensor would be the same as charging customers a price for an option that doesn't work!

    Whackcar, 20 May 2020That's good. No need to disable the feature everywhere. Onl... moreIt's not just oneplus. Xiaomi, vivo, oppo, every company that brags about their "48MP quad cam" cause they just slapped a 2MP useless macro and depth sensors to the mix.

        Wow, all these perverts in this thread. The camera can apparently see through clothes. I guess you're just up to no good.

          That's good. No need to disable the feature everywhere. Only disable it where there's a big outrage or lawsuit.

          And they should probably replace the Color Filter camera with something more useful & less controversial in the OnePlus 8T Pro.

            Its a police state. Anybody knows this with a little sense of reality of the world.

              it should be called the perv filter xD

                OnePlus 8 Pro's color filter is all of a sudden a thing now. Time for GSMA to remove "Color filter camera is meh" remark under cons of 8 Pro's review ;)

                      Sure that they also put that filter app as default for police and and government forces, free to use for politicians ... etc. But citizens do not, they have no right to it. China trademark!

The fact you think somehow one company's decision represents an entire country is mindblowing. Or the fact they're disabling it for legal reasons just doesn't factor into your analysis is hilarious.

                            I thought that they had evolved more in terms of mentality ... It seems that for certain things despite all the technology there, they are still in the middle ages on a social level ...

                            They are still afraid that someone will see them if they wear underwear or a wad of bills to bribe someone ... That is a tool that only dictators can use ...

                              China always gets the special treatment.
