It has been nearly one month since the OnePlus 5 was launched in India. According to the rumours, Shenzhen-based Chinese mobile manufacturing company will be planning to reveal the next OnePlus smartphone, likely to be titled with OnePlus 6. The highlighting feature of the upcoming flagship is under- display fingerprint sensor. One of the fastest fingerprint sensors has been offered by the Shenzhen-based mobile manufacturing company since the launch of the OnePlus 2 that was launched earlier in July 2015. Recently, face- unlock feature has been developed by the OnePlus company which is similar to Apple's Face ID.

According to the reports of GizmoChina, Shenzhen based Chinese smartphone manufacturing company will be planning to unveil the latest flagship smartphone in the mid of March, whereas it will be available for the purchase by the month end. The upcoming flagship smartphone will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chip that was disclosed earlier this month. It is announced that the Xiaomi Mi 7 will come with first Snapdragon 845 SoC which is the competitor of OnePlus.

According to the GizmoChina, reported that the OnePlus 6 will feature an underglass fingerprint sensor – likely to be called under-display fingerprint sensor.

With the launch of OnePlus 5T, the position of fingerprint sensor has been shifted from front to back. It is more convenient for the users that the smartphone will have a front-facing fingerprint sensor so now company is focusing on the under-display fingerprint technology in its upcoming flagship smartphone.
