Representatives of OnePlus officially confirmed that the successor to OnePlus 6 will receive a fingerprint scanner built into the display. In the screenshot of the lock screen, the company also hinted at the likely date for the announcement of the novelty – October 17th.
Initially, the subscreen scanner was planned for last year’s OnePlus 5T, but at that time the technology was not ready. The introduction of a new generation of sensors had to be postponed until the release of OnePlus 6T. Due to the different location of the components, the case will be 0.45 mm thicker than the OnePlus 6. Without a sensor, the smartphone will feel more solid in the back. At least, so says the manufacturer.
The flagship will receive top features, including a Snapdragon 845 processor and up to 8 gigabytes of RAM. Other features are only rumored. For example, photographs of the proposed OnePlus 6T box from a previous leak indicate a small drop-shaped screen, like the Oppo R17 / R17 Pro.
Until the end of October, the OnePlus 6T is already on sale, with an estimated price of $ 550, which is $ 20 more than its predecessor. Fully updated flagship OnePlus 7 is expected in January next year.
