The latest phone from the most popular smartphone maker you’ve never heard of is coming soon — here are 8 rumors we’ve heard about the OnePlus 6T
German tech site WinFuture published a series of leaked photos of the supposed OnePlus 6T that shows a similar design to the current OnePlus 6 with a redesigned notch.
The OnePlus 6T will retain its glass back that comes in two variations, including glossy and matte glass.
OnePlus confirmed to CNET that the OnePlus 6T will come with an in-display fingerprint sensor.
If you paid close attention to the leaked photos of the OnePlus 6T’s design above, you’ll have noticed that there was no rear-facing fingerprint sensor. Indeed, the fingerprint sensor is moving back to the front of OnePlus phones.
Some may love rear-facing fingerprint sensors, but none can deny the benefit of front-facing variants. It’ll make unlocking the phone while it’s resting on a table faster and easier than picking it up and reaching for the back.
It comes at a bit of a surprise that the OnePlus 6T won’t come with a headphone jack, especially since OnePlus used to be proud of the fact that its previous phones included the headphone jack when so many phone makers dropped it.
“We found 59% of our community already owned wireless headphones earlier this year,” OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei told Tech Radar.
With a slight majority favoring wireless headphones, OnePlus thought it was the right time to ditch the headphone jack. In place of the headphone jack will be “more technology,” Pei said, touching on improved battery life.
