OnePlus is amongst the leading smartphone brands in India which have an extensive list of incredible Android phones. The latest smartphone called OnePlus 8 Pro has been finally launched in the country. The phone comes in two main variants, 128 GB Storage, 8 GB RAM, and 256 GB Storage, 12 GB RAM. Both differ only in RAM and storage while the rest of the specifications remain the same. However, apart from this, the OnePlus 8 Pro has an X-ray vision feature that allows users to see beneath things.
OnePlus 8 Pro gives X-ray vision which can see inside plastic and clothes
The OnePlus 8 Pro's features of X-ray vision can see inside thin black plastic and black clothes. This feature was noted by many tech enthusiasts, including Marques Brownlee, who recently shared a video using the X-ray vision on his official social media account. According to the reports and many tech enthusiasts, the Photochrom filter only works on a thin kind of black plastic that is already a bit see-through when viewed at certain angles with the right light. This helps the smartphone to look inside a TV remote with an infrared sensor. However, one cannot see what lies inside a high-end DSLR camera.

Will the Photochrom filter exist for long in OnePlus 8 Pro?
The ability to see through black clothes and very thin black plastic has raised a lot of privacy concerns amongst many people in the world. However, OnePlus has not commented about the Photochrom filter or the X-ray vision camera. The reports say that the company must have added the X-ray type filter or the use of an infrared sensor to create a camera filter accidentally. This means the company might disable the feature in the future. Many OnePlus 8 Pro users seem to be excited to have such a futuristic feature in their smartphone. Below are some varied reactions over finding this X-ray vision filter by these smartphone users-
