Official: the OnePlus 6T will have an in-display fingerprint reader

The OnePlus 6T will have an in-display fingerprint reader. This was officially confirmed by the company, which went as far as sharing a screenshot of the lockscreen of the upcoming phone. Face unlock is not going away, instead you will get to choose which method suits you best.

It’s not just that – check out the date on the lockscreen (hint: it’s in the future). This makes October 17 the likely unveiling date of the 6T (it is indeed a Wednesday).

Note that the addition of a fingerprint reader behind the display panel will make the 6T thicker. Not much – just 0.45mm extra – but OnePlus had to re-arrange the internals to make everything fit.

Alleged photos of the retail box already had the rumor mill buzzing about the in-display fingerprint reader and also the teardrop notch. It’s no secret that the OnePlus 6T hardware will be based on the Oppo R17 Pro.
