Sure, the OnePlus 8 Pro has a 120 Hz fluid display, is 5G capable, 8GB of RAM, 128GB of internal storage, and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset, but its coolest feature is a secret. It has a hidden Photochrom mode that can not only see through plastics, but also some fabrics. How does it work? Well, normal cameras have an infrared filter that blocks light outside the visible spectrum, but some allow a small amount in.
Simply put, OnePlus 8 Pro’s color filter camera is a specially coated 5MP sensor separate from the main, ultra-wide and telephoto cameras. This lens allows different types of light into the sensor, and when combined with the phone’s filter software, it shows an x-ray-like effect.
