Update on OnePlus 8 and 8 Plus to Resolve Green Screen

A few days ago we told you that the screen of the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro had begun to have certain problems with green tinting. Something that is not a coincidence that has happened at the same time as in the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra, since both share Samsung panels. Now it seems that this problem is solved with an update.

Update on OnePlus 8

It seems that after the launch of a solution for Samsung mobiles , OnePlus has been quick to offer a patch that we understand will be based on the same update that has solved the problem in Samsung, since as we say AMOLED panels are similar.

Both models have just received an update that, although it does not openly say that this problem is solved, it does use certain euphemisms that make us think that we are facing a solution to this important problem. And we not only talk about the messages in the “changelog” but also because the people who have been able to use this new update have been able to verify that this green tint actually disappears from the screen to a large extent .

The update we are talking about is the OxygenOS 10.5.5 update for the OnePlus 8 Pro and 10.5.4 for the OnePlus 8 . It comes with an extensive “changelog” that warns us that problems have been solved and the performance of the system, battery, camera or networks has been improved. As we say, there is no point in talking about green screen tinting. But you can see a point where it says ” Optimized the display effects ” which is an area in which the removal of that green tint from the panel could perfectly enter.

From Android Police , where they have been able to test this update, they assure that the green tint has practically disappeared entirely . So it seems that there are indeed changes in that aspect. When we quote the word “fix” in the headline, we mean that that solution is not being advertised among the upgrade enhancements, and has not been officially announced by the Chinese firm. But in practice it seems to be solved to a considerable degree. Apparently when compared to the screen of a OnePlus 7 or 7T, the screen still shows a minimum tint of this color, but it is still infinitely less than what had been noticed in recent days.

Other improvements to the update

In addition to these display problems and their solution, the latest update also offers us for both phones as the touch sensitivity of the screen on the edges , especially on the OnePlus 8 Pro with its curved edges. Animations and movement in videos have also been smoothed out , somewhat in line with the higher screen refresh rate.

On the other hand, the camera also receives news, with a better white balance in low light , as well as focusing in the same conditions. There are also improvements in the functioning of the Wifi and networks in general. It looks like we are facing a transition update, which may have patched the display issues waiting for them to be fully fixed.
