OnePlus 6T Launching on October 17

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.

“We unlock our phones multiple times a day, and Screen Unlock reduces the number of steps to complete the action,” said OnePlus in an email to CNET.

OnePlus 6T Will Be Thicker Than the OnePlus 6

Thanks to the in-display fingerprint scanner, the OnePlus 6T will be thicker by 0.45mm, which means it will be 8.25mm thick. Furthermore, OnePlus believes that the overall look of the device will be more unibody because there won’t be any physical fingerprint scanner on the rear side.
