New leaks are giving us a better idea of what’s in the OnePlus 6T.
But the truth is, if you really want to know what’s in the next OnePlus phone, all you have to do is look at Vivo or Oppo’s latest handsets.
The three companies are related, so they tend to adopt the same trends. In this case, signs point to the OnePlus 6T looking very much like the Vivo X23 and Oppo R17, with a fingerprint reader embedded under the screen and a tiny notch shaped like a water droplet. (And they all have chins -- thicker bezels at the bottom of the screen.)
The in-screen fingerprint sensor was confirmed by CNET, after images circulating on social media already suggested the handset will have the feature.
Pioneered by Vivo, which showed off a prototype phone with the technology at CES earlier this year, the in-screen reader has since appeared in a host of other Chinese handsets. Several Vivo models have it, including the Nex. So does Huawei’s Porsche Design Mate RS and Xiaomi’s Mi 8 Explorer Edition.
