They keep saying they upgraded the cameras but they are still limited to the visible spectrum.

Didn't OnePlus have a special camera which ended up being updated away because it would see through people's clothes?

It could what?!

I don't know if there were any cases of that happening, but it could see through some types of plastic

It sounds a lot more scandalous than it was, but yeah. I found this photo. As you can see, you can't really see the dude's body, but you can see the details of box underneath his shirt.

I believe that was a slight visibility in the UV spectrum. Like, if the color of undergarments didn't match the outfit, then it would glow. I don't know much more about it.

Honestly, a UV camera/filter for the front camera would be useful for things like applying sunscreen. I've contemplated making a smart mirror with that type of functionality.
