OnePlus 6 to Feature Advanced Face Recognition Technology:

OnePlus 6 will feature advanced face recognition technology, according to a reliable tipster.

OnePlus copying the features from an iPhone isn’t something new. In fact, the firm’s first 2017 flagship – OnePlus 5 – featured a rear panel that was scarily similar to that of the iPhone 7 Plus. But, so what? The phone was undoubtedly the best you could get for a $500 price tag.

Fast forward to today, we now have a OnePlus 5T with an all-screen front design and a FaceID-inspired Face Unlock feature. Speaking of the Face Unlock feature on the 5T, I could say without a speck of doubt that it’s much faster than the FaceID. However, it doesn’t support payment authorization which, in my opinion, is sort of a bummer for a flagship phone.

As we march towards 2018, we’re starting to hear a lot of rumors about the forthcoming phones including Samsung Galaxy S9, LG G7, and Sony Xperia XZ1 Premium; but nothing about the OnePlus 6 have been heard so far. Sure, the next OnePlus smartphone won’t launch within at least 5 months from now. But, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t hear any rumors about the handset, especially when the firm has already started working on it.

According to a reliable tipster, OnePlus has plans to integrate advanced face recognition technology on the OnePlus 6 to take on the FaceID feature of the iPhone X. Further, the tipster also told that the hardware setup will be similar to that of the iPhone X and that the OP6 will make use of an infrared 3D camera module, which will be located on the front of the device. He also added that the handset won’t feature a notch similar to the iPhone X as the whole setup would be located on the top bezel.

As with most rumors, we suggest you take this with a pinch of salt.

OnePlus 6 Could Release Early In 2018, Underglass Fingerprint Sensor Expected

OnePlus ‘ 5T launch in November wasn’t a surprise given that the company did the same last year. However, the phone could be one of the shortest flagships launched recently as our source has given us a few details about the upcoming OnePlus 6 flagship. While some might say that it is too early to call this phone as upcoming, our source reveals that OnePlus is planning to launch the OnePlus 6 as early as March of 2018. The launch is said to be sometime in the middle of March, with the phone becoming available by the end of the month.

As for the specs, our source reveals that the OnePlus 6 will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset. This isn’t surprising given that Oneplus flagships are known to come with the latest flagship chips from Qualcomm. However, our source further adds that the phone will feature an underglass fingerprint sensor. The current OnePlus 5T features the fingerprint sensor on the back, which isn’t really an ideal position. Many prefer the sensor on the front and an underglass fingerprint sensor would make things easier as it can easily be installed on the front without having the sacrifice the full-screen design.

It might be too early to say that the above information is going to be 100% true, but it is worth mentioning that our source has been right about OnePlus flagships before. We revealed details of the OnePlus 5T smartphone way before anyone else and we are pretty confident that the above information is also solid.
