OnePlus 6T Teardown Gives a Closer Look at In-Display Fingerprint Scanner

OnePlus’ latest premium flagship smartphone model, the OnePlus 6T, was launched last month with some key upgrades over its predecessor like an in-display fingerprint scanner, waterdrop-style notch, a thin chin, decent camera, powerful processor and bigger battery. Now, the most viewed cell phone repair channel on the internet JerryRigEverything has brought a detailed teardown to reveal the components around the in-display fingerprint sensor of the flagship smartphone. While we already know that the new smartphone has a powerful processor and decent cameras, among other features, the JerryRigEverything teardown assessment gives a closer look at the in-display fingerprint scanner.

The video shows that the in-display fingerprint sensor is essentially just a small camera that can capture an image of your fingerprint, with a sensor attached to create the image and authenticate your access to the phone.

An exciting fact presented during the video explores the possibility of hiding even the selfie camera behind the AMOLED screen. Given that the sensor is itself a camera, this could be a theoretical possibility later on, accordingly getting rid of the possibility of the notch and bezel overall. In any case, the sensor on the OnePlus 6T can as of now just sweep when your finger is on the screen, implying that it might be problematic for an inserted camera to take pictures of objects at a distance.

The OnePlus 6T teardown video ends with the phone being assembled back, subsequent to demonstrating that it is as yet working even without the sensor set up, and that light from the LEDs on the AMOLED screen doesn’t sparkle in reverse. This OnePlus 6T teardown has given us a closer look at the in-display fingerprint scanner and the OnePlus has done fairly a decent job.
