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.

Massive OnePlus 13 leak just revealed everything about the phone
Official OnePlus 13 product render in three colors.

At this point, it's common news that the OnePlus 13 will launch in China tomorrow. Obviously, we would get all of the specs on the phone at launch, but the Chinese telecommunications authority TENAA (similar to the Federal Communications Commission in the U.S.) recently shared an almost complete specs list. Since it's coming from an official agency, this is information that you can pretty much take at face value.

According to the certification, the OnePlus 13 will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and will come with a 4.1GHz CPU, and have a 6,000mAh battery. We already knew most of these details from previous leaks, but it's good to see them confirmed.

Here are some of the specs for the OnePlus Open 2

The OnePlus Open was a heck of a foldable phone that scored a four out of five in our review, and now we have exciting news about its successor. The OnePlus Open 2 is scheduled to launch sometime in 2025 and promises to bring serious upgrades with it, including an even slimmer design. That's saying something, especially since the original OnePlus Open is already incredibly thin (just 5.8mm) when unfolded.

The news comes courtesy of tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo and through GSMArena's translation. A previous rumor stated that the OnePlus Open 2 might be less than 10mm when folded, lending credence to the idea of an ultrathin phone.

The OnePlus 13 will beat most other smartphones in one surprising way
OnePlus 12 Glacial White cameras.

With the Chinese launch of the OnePlus 13 just days away, more and more details keep making their way to our feeds. This morning, three key specs on the OnePlus 13 appeared on Weibo (the Chinese social media outlet) and were posted by OnePlus itself. Two of them are exciting, while the other is downright surprising.

The first detail is that it will use an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor with a "super intuitive" position. In practice, this means the fingerprint sensor will be able to pick up details more accurately and will work even if your finger is wet. It also works in low light and should be significantly faster than an optical sensor.
