OnePlus 8 Pro camera shines through objects
In mid-May 2020, it became known that the OnePlus 8 Pro smartphone uses infrared sensors that allow you to see through some items. This feature has not previously been announced in any marketing material from the manufacturer.
To do this, open the OnePlus 8 Pro camera application, turn on the Photochrom color filter and point the smartphone at any black objects. The filter only works on very thin black plastic, glass or fabric, fixing infrared radiation invisible to the naked eye. User Unbox Therapy posted a video where he used a filter on an Apple TV case, a Switch remote control and even a thin black T-shirt.
Infrared radiation captured by the camera is directly behind the visible fragment of the electromagnetic spectrum, and it is sometimes called thermal radiation because that is how we feel its effects. Special types of equipment can capture infrared radiation, including night vision goggles and thermal imaging cameras. They allow you to penetrate through certain materials with your eyes, since infrared waves, unlike waves of the visible spectrum, pass through them. Firefighters, for example, use infrared cameras to see through smoke in burning buildings.
Infrared sensors are not only used in the OnePlus 8 Pro smartphone. For example, the TrueDepth camera on the latest iPhones uses infrared light to scan the face to identify the user, and hackers can hack it to turn it into the same image filter as on the OnePlus 8 Pro smartphone.
In addition to thin plastic, the OnePlus 8 Pro camera is able to shine through some liquids, display inscriptions on the back of photo cards, show inscriptions hidden under a thin fabric. It is not yet known if OnePlus will have privacy concerns if the filter is used to shine through clothes. Depending on the severity of the issue, OnePlus may restrict the feature by upgrading the software.[1]
OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro smartphone presentation
On April 14, 2020, OnePlus unveiled its flagship smartphones. The difference between the older and younger models this year is very significant, while both models can be called improved versions of the previous generation, since there are minimal cardinal differences.
OnePlus 8 Pro received 30W wireless charging and full water protection (IP68).
The OnePlus 8 has neither wireless charging nor water protection, making it even more like its predecessor.
Both products are based on the Snapdragon 865 SoC. OnePlus 8 Pro received a 120-hertz display with a diagonal of 6.78 inches with a resolution of 3168 x 1440 pixels, a maximum brightness of 1300 cd/m2 and support for HDR10 +. The OnePlus 8 has a slightly simpler display. Its diagonal is 6.55 inches, resolution - 2400 x 1080 pixels, frame frequency - 90 Hz, maximum brightness - 1100 cd/m2.
There is also a difference in the cameras. OnePlus 8 Pro received four sensors. The main thing here is a 48-megapixel Sony IMX689 with an optical format of 1/1.4 inches. There is also a 48-megapixel wide-angle lens (IMX586), a "TV" with 3x optical and 30x hybrid zoom, as well as a camera that the manufacturer calls a color filter. But the OnePlus 8 has a triple camera, but there are only two useful sensors: a 48-megapixel IMX568 as the main and a 16-megapixel wide-angle lens. The third module is the macro chamber.
Separately, OnePlus focused on the presence of the older version of three microphones with an audio mind function and a function for converting video with a frame frequency of 24 fps into video with a frequency of 120 fps, for which the smartphone even has a separate microprocessor.
Both smartphones have 8 or 12 GB of RAM, while the younger uses LPDDR4X, and the older uses LPDDR5. Flash memory in both 128 or 256 GB models. The battery capacity of the younger model is 4300 mAh, the older - 4510 mAh, while both support fast 30-watt charging. The OnePlus 8 has optical stabilization on the main camera sensor, the OnePlus 8 Pro also on TV. The resolution of the front camera is 16 megapixels for both smartphones. Both also have stereo speakers, a Haptic Vibration 2.0 vibration motor, Wi-Fi 6 and a USB 3.1 port. Dimensions of the younger - 160.2 x 72.9 x 8 mm with a weight of 180 g, the older - 165.3 x 74.3 x 8.5 mm with a weight of 199 g.
