OnePlus has been pretty prolific in offering patches for its latest flagship product, and another update for the 7 Pro is being rolled out right now. OxygenOS 9.5.7 includes a huge amount of improvements and camera settings, as well as a fix for the recent "ghost" or "ghost" touch problem that could cause random tapping and troublesome at the top of the screen for some phones under certain circumstances. .

It is not clear if this also solves the problem with the 7 Pro touch input rejecting at the top corners, because the changelog is a bit vague on the details.

We can not independently confirm that the problem is resolved for the moment, the update is currently in a limited deployment, but the reports of those who have installed it indicate it. Is solve the problem. The complete changelog published in the corresponding thread on the OnePlus Product Forums is included below:

Changelog:

  • Camera
    • Improved overall contrast and color performance
    • Improved white balance consistency of the triple camera
    • Improved accuracy and stability of autofocus
    • Fixed the problem of greenish tone in some low light scenes
    • Fixed noise problem in some HDR scenes
    • Enhanced contrast and ultra-wide color saturation
    • Improved clarity and noise reduction in very wide low-light scenes
    • Improved telephoto clarity and noise reduction
    • Improved clarity and color of Nightscape
    • Improved brightness and clarity in Nightscape's low light scenes
  • System
    • Double tap optimized to wake up
    • Resolved issues with Ambient Display
    • Improved audio quality for voice calls from third-party applications
    • Improved touch sensitivity for the screen

Other non-camera settings include an "optimized" Double Tap to Wake and fixes for ambient display and voice call quality in third-party applications.

Camera enhancements include less noisy HDR photos (a problem we can attest to), a fix for green highlights in some dimly lit photos, better white balance, and better colors for photos . The "clarity" and noise of ultra-wide and telephoto cameras should also be improved, and the Nightscape mode, almost useless, should also benefit from some essential improvements.

If the differences between cameras are important, expect a follow-up coverage with photo samples once we have had the chance to see for ourselves. We worked on some features related to OnePlus 7 Pro cameras, but the rapid pace of camera updates and improvements delayed detailed comparisons. (At least we have a wealth of examples for any future test.)

The color and saturation in the recent update of this photo look prettier, but there is no way of knowing if they are objectively more accurate compared to the scene in this comparison. Note that the details are also lost in the tall building at the top left.

The contrast and color look better here, but again, we can not say which is the most faithful to life.

My main complaint about the 7 Pro's camera was the unrealistic brightness of the pictures taken in cloudy or indirect weather, and even if you could slide slightly to adjust the exposure correction, it would not be the same. was annoying to have to do it. These comparisons give the impression that it is no longer necessary.

Likewise, the brightness and contrast seem better compared to my knowledge of the camera's performance, but there's no way to tell from those pictures what the scene looks like in real life .

Inconsistently long exposures in low light conditions can sometimes hide details, but this comparison could This could imply that this can be corrected – although this may simply show improvements in the sharpness of the software with regard to the performance of the standard or wide-angle camera.

J & # 39; would hope This is a crop of the image above, but it may simply be a comparison of the telephoto camera showing a more aggressive sharpness during processing, possibly associated with a slightly improved focus .

Again, the comparisons that were chosen show a dramatic improvement, but OnePlus has definitely committed to improving the camera of its flagship product over time, as evidenced by the weekly updates. I can not think of any other recent OEM that has made such an effort to improve their camera based on the specifics of consumer feedback so soon after its launch. Time will tell if it is profitable.

The company has also developed a survey consisting of a series of blind comparisons between the 7 Pro and other major recent projects, including the Pixel 3 XL. The survey was created to better understand what consumers prefer with regards to the performance of a camera, so that the company can adjust its own results to match those of competitors. Specifically, they are considered better, even if it is objectively honest. After all, previous polls such as those conducted by MKBHD had shown that people often preferred supersaturated and brighter photos to more accurate photos.
