Chinese X-ray phone camera bites the dust

OnePlus phone’s ‘X-ray vision’ that uses camera to see through CLOTHES and plastic is now banned

CHINESE phone-maker OnePlus has permanently disabled a feature on its new mobile that gave its camera “X-ray vision”, The Sun can reveal.
Users reported in May that the OnePlus 8 Pro’s infrared “Photochrom” lens could see through certain plastics and clothes.
Photos posted to Twitter showed the lens peering into the innards of TV remotes, or revealing gadgets or text hidden under clothing.
OnePlus temporarily blocked the camera in response, and in a software update released Wednesday wiped the camera’s X-ray powers for good.
“Customers no longer have to worry about the see-through effect,” a OnePlus spokesperson told The Sun.
The OnePlus 8 Pro hit shelves in May and comes with four rear cameras, including the photochrom lens.
The filter uses an infrared filter to add a unique colour to photos, but the gimmick had a number of unintended side-effects.
Its infrared vision allowed it to see electronics through plastic and clothing, sparking privacy concerns among users.
The OnePlus spokesperson told The Sun that Wednesday’s update still allows customers to shoot using the photochrom lens.
However, software tweaks mean the lens can no longer see through objects.
“The new update still allows customers to shoot in the unique photochrom style, and photos are actually clearer than they were before,” they said.
The OnePlus update was announced Wednesday in an official blog post. The spokesperson told The Sun it’s a forced update that users have to download.
As well as camera changes, the download tweaked performance, battery life, touch sensitivity and a host of other minor changes.
“The [update] will reach a small percentage of users today, and we’ll begin a broader rollout in a few days,” OnePlus said.
The camera’s “X-ray” capabilities were first spotted by US tech commentator Ben Geskin.
He posted a video to Twitter showing the 8 Pro’s Photochrom camera looking through the plastic casing of an Apple TV set top box.
Videos posted by other users showed that the lens was capable of spotting the graphics on an iPhone box through someone’s black t-shirt.
The feature only worked on devices with very thin plastic casing, and with select items of clothing.

Cops retirement limited
NYPD limits number of cops filing for retirement amid 400% surge of officers heading for the exit because of ‘lack of respect’ spurred by protests and ‘loss of overtime pay following Bill de Blasio’s $1Bn cuts’
- The New York Police Department has reportedly placed a limit on the number of retirement applications it’s allowing its officers to file
- In the past week, the number of officers filing for retirement has more than quadrupled on this time last year
- The exodus has reportedly caused such a backlog of applications that the department is struggling to meet the demand
- Many of the officers hanging up their badges have cited a ‘lack of respect’ from the public amid national protests against police brutality
- The NYPD said Wednesday that 179 cops filed for unemployment between June 29 and July 6 – a staggering 411 percent increase on last year
- The evacuation comes as an astonishing 503 cops have reportedly filed for retirement between May 25 – the day of Floyd’s police killing – and July 3

The New York Police Department has reportedly placed a limit on the number of retirement applications it’s allowing its officers to file, following a meteoric surge of cops quitting the force amid budget cuts and clashes with protesters.
In the past week, the number of officers filing for retirement has more than quadrupled on this time last year, with the exodus reportedly causing such a backlog of applications that the department is struggling to meet the demand.
Many of the officers hanging up their badges have cited a ‘lack of respect’ from the public amid national protests against police brutality following the death of George Floyd, and a loss of overtime pay following Mayor Bill de Blasio’s $1 billion cut to the department as the reason, the NY Post reported.
The NYPD said Wednesday that 179 cops filed for unemployment between June 29 and July 6 – a staggering 411 percent increase on the 35 who retired during the same time period last year.

The apparent evacuation comes as an astonishing 503 cops have reportedly filed for retirement between May 25 – the day of Floyd’s police killing – and July 3, according to the department.
That figure represents a 75-percent increase on the 287 cops who retired from the force during the same time period in 2019.
According to the Post, a line of officers were spotted lined up outside of One Police Plaza on Tuesday, where retirement paper are filed and processed.
‘Apparently, the pension section is only taking a certain amount of people per day and I think they are backed up till late July, early August,’ one officer told the outlet. ‘That’s why you don’t see like 100 a day, because they are only doing like 35 to 40 a day, by appointment.’
A spokesperson for the department confirmed the surge in retirement applications. ‘While the decision to retire is a personal one and can be attributed to a range of factors, it is a troubling trend that we are closely monitoring,’ she said to the Post.
Another cop told the outlet: ‘There’s just droves and droves of people retiring. But there’s no surprise here, who the hell wants to stay on this job? Why would you want to stay on this job when people don’t appreciate what you do?’
The source said the flood of overtime the officers received from last month’s protests – which would boost pension payouts – and the expected loss of future overtime payments as a result of NYPD budget cuts, is also likely a key factor.

One Brooklyn-based officer said: ‘You have to be crazy to stay on a job where you are losing money, abused by the people you are trying to protect and not appreciated by the politicians.’
In a statement, Police Benevolent Association President Pat Lynch blamed lawmakers who he said ‘completely dismantled our justice system’.
Lynch attributed the apparent flood of police retirement applications to ‘the question on every police officer’s mind: how are we supposed to do our job in this environment?’
‘And now that crime is out of control, they want to blame us for that, too,’ he added. ‘Whether we have 20 years on the job or only two, police officers are tired of trying to sort out these mixed messages. Many of us are looking elsewhere.’
The NYPD has not yet returned a DailyMail.com request for comment. Read more:
