OnePlus recently relocated the fingerprint sensor on its flagship OnePlus 5T smartphone, which was a major alteration from the usual sensor under home button design. But a new report claims, that the company might remove the fingerprint scanner altogether with the OnePlus 6.
What’s unclear is whether the company will follow Apple and incorporate an advanced 3D facial recognition paired with AI algorithm, or it might put the scanner under the display like Vivo which placed an ultrasonic chip beneath the screen. This would allow OnePlus to refine the bezel-less design while keeping the fingerprint scanner upfront.
Besides, Huawei has also installed an under-glass fingerprint scanner for the Honor V10, while retaining the narrow bezels. The report also suggest the OnePlus 6 might launch in March 2018, though nothing is certain and the timeline may vary.
As for the specifications, the OnePlus 6 will have a 5.5-inch screen with super thin bezels and 18:9 aspect ratio with QHD resolution. It is likely to have a Snapdragon 845 processor at its heart with 6GB of RAM. It will also have an 8GB variant combined with 256GB ROM, upgrading the base 128GB variant.
