GoPro HERO (2018) reportedly a firmware downgrade version of HERO 5

GoPro’s newest HERO (2018) action camera was reported to be identical to the HERO 5 but with a downgraded firmware according to a post by Hypoxic.

The GoPro HERO 2018 features a 10MP lens and 1440p 60fps or 1080p 60 fps video recording resolution. The HERO 5, on the other hand, has a 12MP camera lens with 4K video recording capabilities. According to the report, the HERO (2018) can perform just like the HERO 5 by loading it with the latter’s firmware and some modifications.

Hypoxic cannot upload a patch for other people to use due to legal matters but rather posted details on how it was done. Click on the source link below for more info.

Why you need to have the Hero 2018 firmware? Is there any problem on your GoPro after the Hero5 firmware version update?
