Last week, it was revealed that the OnePlus 8 Pro's camera can make some materials invisible, creating a creepy X-ray effect. Now, OnePlus has announced it will temporarily disable the color filter camera on its latest flagship phone via an upcoming software update.
As we reported at the tail end of last week, the OnePlus 8 Pro's color filter camera can create some very unusual special effects. What is going on here is essentially infrared photography. That means you can see through materials that are not transparent to the naked eye but are transparent to infrared light.
It should be noted that OnePlus' original intention was not to create an X-ray camera for its new smartphone. The marketing around the color filter camera was centered on being able to apply certain false-color camera filters to shots taken on the phone. Much fuss was made of the ethical and moral issues around allowing consumers to walk around with what turned out to be a pretty creepy feature, and OnePlus has decided to respond to the uproar.
OnePlus said that the update to disable the color filter camera will be distributed in China within a week. You have to presume this will be rolled out worldwide around the same time.
You can still participate in our poll about whether or not you think the feature is too freaky below:
Do we really own the hardware we buy?
Once again this raises the question of whether or not we truly own the tech products we buy. We have written about this subject in detail on AndroidPIT, but put yourself in the shoes of a OnePlus 8 Pro owner here. You bought a product with a camera feature that is now being taken away from you after the sale.
That doesn't seem fair to us. Should OnePlus 8 Pro owners be compensated for the loss of their color filter camera? Or is this just the modern tech consumer world we live in now? Have your say below the line.
