OnePlus is disabling the Photochrome mode on the 8 Pro globally

29 May 2020
Initially, it said that this would only affect Hydrogen OS and phones in China. Now, an Oxygen OS update is rolling out globally to disable the feature.

Sort by:

Nevermind the useless gimmick called "Photochrome mode",what about the display's "Hulk mode",will that be disabled via upcoming update?Or buyers will get some refund,for obviously,overpriced not exactly finished device?

    There’s an OTA update in India, 10.5.9.IN11DA, which likely has the feature removed as well.

    Why are they releasing an update in India when the phone is not our for sale?

      Functionality after removing ir stopping filter - can see tattoo/graphics behind some t-shirts and whats inside trash bag, see in dark(with ir flash).
      Basically you would need to wear one layer of trash bag like material to render it more transparent.
      So no nipples if some wonder. I know, because I got my note 3 main camera remade to full spectrum, after just removing ir filter.
      So much hype about something you can do at home on your main 108mp camera. Shame they pissed their pants for something that is here in full size cameras dslr/mirrorless for years and that is quite a different quality, also cheaper overall for older models.

            Buy the x2pro. Worth the extra money. Color os is little worse but phone is better. Camera mainly. And little else areas. Also more premium to won and look (design).

Normal, if you consider that my old XZ3 doesn't even have OIS. But for daylight pics the difference is not what people are lead to believe about Sony cameras.

                                        Let this be a lesson to all BBK phone (oppo, oneplus, vivo, realme etc) buyers that they shouldn't buy BBK phones because they risk having features they paid for disabled via OTA software updates. I hope someone sues oneplus for everything they have.
