With the OnePlus OxygenOS update, you can expect some great features — the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chipset, up to 12GB of RAM, and up to 256GB of UFS 3.0 storage. However, its best feature remains the display with a 1440p 90Hz panel. In fact, DisplayMate called it one of the “best smartphone panels ever”. Sadly, not everything about the display appears to be the best as the users are reporting that their devices are suffering from “ghost touch” issues.
OnePlus OxygenOS update Phantom Touch
What is ‘Ghost Touch’ or ‘Phantom Touch’? The ghost touch issue is a software problem. It is a tap on the screen that users don’t tend to input themselves. This can range in reactions that are harmless as well as annoying. Not just that, typing becomes extremely difficult because of this touch.
To solve this issue, the company sought suggested OnePlus 7 Pro users disable NFC as a temporary workaround. To test this issue on your own 7 pro, download and install the free CPU-Z app. Open the app and let the phone sit idle with the display on. You will notice that these touch inputs happen even though you are not touching the phone. These are ghost inputs.
With a OnePlus OxygenOS update, the company is hoping to fix touchscreen issues, including the ghost touch. The update brings a bunch of camera improvements.
