The OnePlus Ace 6T is set to launch in China on December 3, followed by its global release as the OnePlus 15R a few weeks later. OnePlus has already shared several details about this new smartphone, which aims to provide a budget-friendly option compared to the flagship model, the OnePlus 15 (check out our review). Recently, more information about the phone has been disclosed.
New Features Unveiled
A fresh promotional poster for the OnePlus Ace 6T has shown that the device will include a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, an upgrade from the optical fingerprint scanner found in earlier OnePlus Ace versions. Since the OnePlus Ace 6T will also be known as the OnePlus 15R globally, it’s likely this feature will be present in the international variant too.
The transition to an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner is significant because the OnePlus 13 (currently on Amazon for $799.99) was the first to incorporate this technology, even though it has existed on devices like the 2019 Samsung Galaxy S10.
Advantages of Ultrasonic Scanners
Unlike optical fingerprint scanners, an ultrasonic scanner can still function when your fingers are oily or wet. It provides an additional layer of security by creating a detailed map of your fingerprint’s ridges, making it more challenging to deceive. In contrast, optical scanners struggle with wet or oily fingers and do not capture the ridges, making them vulnerable to being tricked by a high-resolution image of your fingerprint.
Along with the ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, OnePlus has indicated that the OnePlus Ace 6T will come with enhanced glove touch and Aqua Touch 2.0, which allows users to navigate the screen while wearing gloves or with wet hands. The device will also boast ultra-linear dual-stereo speakers. All these features are anticipated to be included in the OnePlus 15R as well.
