OnePlus 6 Could Sport In-Display Fingerprint Sensor

It wasn’t too long ago that the OnePlus 5T was officially announced, but it seems that some are starting to look forwards the future and the OnePlus 6, which presumably will be on track for a release in 2018. It also looks like the rumor mill has already begun as according to a report from GizmoChina, the OnePlus 6 is rumored to sport an in-display fingerprint sensor.

Recently Synaptics announced that they have begun mass producing an in-display fingerprint sensor, something that we have been hearing other OEMs try to include in their phones (Apple included). It was also later revealed that Vivo could be the first Android handset maker to use this technology.

Assuming this report is accurate, it seems that OnePlus could also be looking to adopt the technology in the OnePlus 6. With the OnePlus 5T launching back in November, it can only be assumed that the OnePlus 6 will launch later in 2018, but apparently OnePlus isn’t going to wait that long.

The report goes on to add that the OnePlus 6 could be launched as early as March 2018 and released later in the same month. It does seem a bit suspect that OnePlus would launch a new flagship so early as it would no doubt upset many OnePlus 5T customers who might have only recently purchased the handset, but either way take it with a grain of salt for now.
