OnePlus 8 Pro just got an update that partially fixes a big issue

Did you hear about the green screen tint issue that some OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro users had reported? Maybe you even had it yourself. A new update from OnePlus seems to have helped fix it, as well as a variety of other less important issues with the newly announced phones.

Some OnePlus 8 owners said their phone had a green screen tint in some scenarios. It's a similar issue to one that was fixed on the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra in March, which uses the same screen tech as the OnePlus 8 series.

We've not seen the issue on our review devices, so it seems to be only impacting some users. It also means we haven't been able to test out the results of the new update, but it seems to have worked for some.

Tech website Android Police has had the update running on a device and claimed the update brought a "partial fix" for the green tint problem.

A OnePlus 8 Pro user with the Twitter handle Fox Tech shared a similar experience after applying the update. They also said the update only partially fixed the green-tint issue on the device.

A full fix may land in the near future; the official change log from OnePlus doesn't mention the green tint issue, so it may be the company is waiting for a future upgrade to solve it.

This partial fix was quick to land, and it seems to have sorted some devices out without any clear issues so it's progress toward solving the problem.

The OnePlus 8 Pro has also received a fix for its touch sensitivity issues around the edges of its massive 6.78 inches display.

The updated OxygenOS software also claims to improve video smoothness in its motion graphics smoothing. On top of that, cameras on both OnePlus 8 and Pro have had minor tweaks in terms of white balance and focus for taking better low-light shots.

If you've got a OnePlus 8 or OnePlus 8 Pro, you should expect an update to land on your device in the near future. It's called OxygenOS 10.5.4 around the world for the OnePlus 8, while the OnePlus 8 Pro is getting 10.5.5i.

iOS 14 update release date, devices and everything you need to know

Tracking the iOS 14 update as news trickles in It may feel like iOS 13 only debuted yesterday, but that came out in September 2019 and we're set to get iOS 14 by the end of this year. The next big update for your iPhone is currently just rumored for now - Apple has yet to specifically confirm the name for the next piece of software - but it's very likely we'll be hearing officially about it soon. And given what was left out with iOS 13 and what new technology could be coming in the iPhone 12 we can make some educated guesses about what’s coming in the next big iOS update. Some of these are obvious, like support for 5G should Apple finally decide to release a 5G iPhone that works with the next-gen phone networks. If there's somehow an Apple foldable, well, iOS 14 will have software to make that work, too. Other iOS 14 features take a little bit of speculative leaps to imagine which tweaks Apple might make in its continual improvements on its iPhone operating system.

Save the Nature

Save the Nature Nature is the creation of Allah, who is Almighty of all and everything. I think every living being in this world cannot live without nature. So, when need to protect it, we started damaging it with our factories, nuclear waste, plastic and especially by developing big metropolitan cities on the land of forests without planting new trees. We have destroyed our forests and green lands which were necessary for our atmosphere and are the important part of our Eco system, to protect us from dangerous heatwaves from the sun, to maintain the balance, to protect the animal Eco system, which we have tried to end with our thirst for power. We had put many of the species on the brink of extinction. As a god’s Favorite creation we were assigned the task to maintain the balance among every living being on this planet which is also very necessary for our lives. But due to our cruel thinking and nature we have destroyed it with our own hands. We are racing aga
