OnePlus 6T is real and it might be launching on October 17 with an in-display fingerprint scanner. According to an email sent to CNET by OnePlus, the OnePlus 6T will surely have an in-display fingerprint scanner, and in the United States, it will be exclusive to T-Mobile. OnePlus has been working on sticking a deal with a US carrier and it could become a reality with the OnePlus 6T. Other rumoured features on the OnePlus 6T include triple rear cameras, slightly bigger battery, but the major highlighting aspect would the fingerprint-on-display. OnePlus believes that it will give an additional option for its users to unlock the device by just lifting the handset.

Fingerprint-on-Display for the OnePlus 6T
In the past, we have seen various smartphones using the in-display fingerprint scanners, but the OnePlus 6T will be the company’s first device to come with the futuristic mechanism. Smartphone brands such as Vivo, Oppo, Huawei, Xiaomi- all have used in-display scanners on their smartphones, and it’s now turn of OnePlus to make use of the technology.
OnePlus also confirmed to CNET that the in-display fingerprint scanning technology was not ready for mainstream usage when it launched the OnePlus 6, that’s why they went with a physical scanner. Recently, Vivo stated that the in-display scanner used by it on the V11 Pro is the 4th Gen scanner, which unlocks the device as fast as the physical fingerprint scanner. So OnePlus is now in a mindset to equip the technology on its OnePlus 6T.
