Apart from in-display fingerprint sensor technology, the OnePlus 6T is also expected to feature a new format screen with a tiny notch on top. The phone is expected to arrive in October.
The OnePlus
6T will feature an in-display fingerprint sensor as one of the
biometric tools to unlock the device, other would be the face unlock.
Named finger-on-display by Chinese smartphone manufacturer OnePlus,
this feature was first intended to debut on the OnePlus 5T. However,
according to company’s statement, the technology was not ready
then, therefore it was delayed until now.
The company also had to
tweak the internals to accommodate the finger-on-display technology,
making the OnePlus 6T design slightly thicker than the OnePlus
6, according to a news report in the CNET.
The in-display fingerprint
technology was first introduced by another Chinese smartphone brand
Vivo. The company was also the first one to roll out consumer ready
device in the market. In India, Vivo X21 was the first smartphone to
feature in-display fingerprint sensor. As noticed in the product
review, the in-display fingerprint sensor is not as fast and accurate
as the conventional fingerprint sensors. However, the new generation
fingerprint sensor used in the Vivo V11 Pro, which was launched in
India recently, showed improvement with respect to fingerprint
recognition and accuracy. Important to note, Vivo is one of the three
smartphone brands that are owned by Chinese smartphone manufacturer
BKK electronics. The other two are OnePlus and Oppo.
Therefore, it is
expected that the OnePlus 6T would take the technology from Vivo.
Unlike the conventional
fingerprint sensors, the in-display fingerprint sensor technology is
embedded under the screen, making it a discreet addition without
compromising on the phone design. According to the report in CNET,
the finger-on-display technology would allow the OnePlus 6T to
feature a unibody look.
As seen in Vivo
smartphones with in-display fingerprint sensor technology, a specific
area on the lower side of screen doubles up as a biometric unit to
recognise fingerprints.
The area is lit up with an icon to make it
easy to identify where to touch to register a fingerprint. Featuring
a fingerprint sensor on the front allows smartphone users to follow
lesser steps to unlock the screen, compared to devices with
fingerprint sensor on the back.
Apart from in-display
fingerprint sensor technology, the OnePlus 6T is also expected to
feature a new format screen with a tiny notch on top. The phone is
expected to feature glass-metal-glass design. It is also expected to
use the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor.
The OnePlus 6T is expected
to arrive in the last quarter of this year.
