Several posts on the OnePlus Community forums and Reddit show the green tint issue on the OnePlus 8 Pro screen, including an image uploaded by a OnePlus forum member who goes by the handle WhateverSuitsU.

Compared with the display of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus, the green tint on the OnePlus 8 Pro is very evident. The problem appears when the refresh rate of the screen is set at 120 Hz, with the brightness lowered.

The OnePlus 8 Pro’s DC Dimming feature potentially removes the green tint, but according to the same post by WhateverSuitsU, it creates other problems, including the so-called “black crush” that appears when dark shades are on the display. For some people, this problem may look even worse than the green tinted-screen.

Fortunately, OnePlus has since acknowledged the issues. “Our team is currently investigating these reports to identify the best solutions for our users, and we will issue updates as soon as they are ready.” the company said in a statement to Android Police.

OnePlus promised that the green tint will be removed after the next over-the-air update for the OnePlus 8 Pro, with the black crush issue to be resolved in May. The company did not provide specific dates for the release of the fixes.

A similar issue has affected the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra, with the bulk of the complaints over green-tinted screens lodged by owners of the Exynos 990 variant of the smartphone. Samsung acknowledged the issue, and has since rolled out a fix for the problem as part of a software update.

OnePlus 8 Pro still worth it?

The OnePlus 8 Pro offers amazing battery life, fast wireless charging, a great camera, and slick software, and is a good alternative to the iPhone 11 Pro and the Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus.

The smartphone comes with a price tag of at least $900 compared to a base price of $700 for the OnePlus 8, but the additional features make the extra cost worth it, assuming that OnePlus will be able to fix the green tint issue on the device’s display.

Though the smartphone market is at an all-time peak, foldables are still a very niche part of it. Still, for those who want a foldable, there are quite a few options to pick from, including the OnePlus Open.

The OnePlus Open is the first foldable from OnePlus, and it’s technically the “global” version of the Oppo Find N3 with some changes in color options and software. When we first reviewed the OnePlus Open, it was clear that it was one of the best foldables you can buy.

How this surprise OnePlus feature changed my smartphone photos forever
A person holding the OnePlus 12.

I don’t usually mess around with Pro modes in smartphone camera apps much. I’m not a “pro,” so they rarely seem relevant, and the combination of an effective auto mode and a great editing platform usually means I end up with a photo I’m pleased with anyway.

But that all changed when I tried Master Mode on the OnePlus 12. Yes, it’s a Pro mode in disguise, but it has an unusual and quite specific feature set that has helped me create photos I love and furthered my own photographic style far more than most other phones I’ve used recently.
