Rumor: OnePlus 6 will come with a fingerprint scanner behind the screen in early 2018

OnePlus may already be planning to release a new member in its smartphone series early next year. According to the rumors, the OnePlus 6 will come with a fingerprint scanner processed behind the screen. The processor should be the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 845.

The Chinese manufacturer has not released anything about the possible successor to the current OnePlus 5 series, but a source from GizmoChina told anonymously about the plans. According to the source, the OnePlus 6 should be released early next year, possibly as early as March; The announcement should be mid-March, after which the device should be available to consumers later that month.

One of the most notable features mentioned by the source is a fingerprint scanner behind the screen. With the OnePlus 5T, this was still placed on the back of the housing. It is suspected that more manufacturers are working on a fingerprint scanner behind the screen; this counts for many as a more logical place for unlocking the smartphone with the finger, but the technology was not ready for it for a long time.

Furthermore, the OnePlus 6 would have the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845-soc, details of which were revealed earlier this month. More high-end smartphones are expected to come out with this processor next year.
