OnePlus 8 Pro has a Quad Rear Camera setup in which the fourth camera sensor comes with see-through capability which was originally meant for enhancing images. The reports revealed that OnePlus does not has an X-ray Vision filter, but it has a Color Filter camera which will soon be disabled by the company temporarily. This means that despite having a quad rear camera setup, the OnePlus 8 Pro users would only be able to use the three rear camera sensors for a short time.

However, the reports said that the Color Filter camera was not able to replicate an x-ray scanner. However, it has an infrared vision which allows the camera to see inside certain materials especially the ones that do not have infrared shielding. This is why OnePlus 8 Pro was able to give visibility inside thin black plastic materials such as remote controls, TVs and more, as they do not have an infrared shield and are made up of infrared transmissible plastic.
