It is safe to say that OnePlus 7 Pro is still, arguably one of the best value-for-money devices that a user can purchase. However, the early units of the device fell prey to the ghost touch issue which was reported by several users just after the day-one patch.

OnePlus was also quick to react to this situation and acknowledged this phantom touch issues that surfaced on the OnePlus 7 Pro units after the update, as it caused many of the users to hold off their purchases.

Moreover, a company suggested workaround for this issue was to “turn off the NFC toggle in the Quick Setting/Notification Bar.” As this fix did not work for most of the users or was temporary, they were expecting a bugfix patch for this issue.

Following this, OnePlus started rolling out a new update in China for the HydrogenOS powered OnePlus 7 Pro for fixing the ghost touch issue.

A day later, the global units of the device also were served with a new OxygenOS 9.5.7 update that brought in several bug fixes along with the fix for ghost touch (phantom touch).

But as per a new report by one of the OnePlus 7 Pro users on Reddit, this ghost touch issue is still prevailing in some of the units, even after a few bugfix updates and is troubling users till date.
