OnePlus 6T design revealed: in-display fingerprint scanner, no headphone jack
Following in the footsteps of the OnePlus 6, which launched back in May, the new OnePlus 6T once again makes use of a tall display that occupies most of the front panel. As expected, a slightly slimmer chin is present towards the bottom, while the wide notch present on the previous device has been replaced which a much smaller waterdrop-like one complete with subtle curves. This new notch is just big enough to house the front-facing camera and proximity sensor. The in-ear speaker, on the other hand, has now been moved to the very edge of the frame. Interestingly, though, an LED notification light doesn't appear to be included.
Moving over to the rear, these newest renders once again dismiss rumors of a triple-camera layout. Instead, the dual-camera vertical setup combined with the unibody glass design creates a look that is almost identical to the original. In fact, the only difference is the lack of a rear-facing fingerprint scanner – the security feature is now integrated into the display up front.
Much like the original OnePlus 6, the 6T is expected to ship with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 845 on the inside along with the choice of 6GB or 8GB of RAM. Speaking of choices, 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB internal storage options are expected to be sold too. Lastly, as this is a OnePlus device, consumers can expect stock Android 9 Pie straight out of the box alongside the minimal Oxygen OS 9.0 overlay on top.

MicroSD cards? LOL! Most $9.99/mo music streaming services offer an offline feature to store tracks. Wired headphones? LOL!
I thought DVD's players were still in style. This is a concept you can't let go...LOL!

Not everone wants to use music streaming services and prefer to carry thier own music on SD card.
As for headphones, well no matter how you spin it wireless is still not up there with the quality of wired, plus you have to charge an extra device.
I have been using wireless headphones myself for the last 5 years but still use the headphone jack to connect the phone in my work van.
I can totally understand why people still want these features.

I'm convinced that FaceID is the future. The problem with fingerprint scanners is that if your fingers are wet or have something on them the scanner will not read. If there is too much condensation on the glass on a rainy day, watch people put in passcodes.

If I were an android user it’s this or the next pixel- nothing else matters.

With the Oneplus 6t not having a headphone jack, are Samsung, LG, and Vivo the only manufacturers left to still include a headphone jack on their flagship smartphones?

Headphone jacks are gone. Get yourself a Bluetooth headset. You will be happier for it.
SD cards... If 128GB isn't doing it for you, you are in a niche market. By all means go buy a Note 9.
And if the camera takes a step up from the 1+6, then this is a top rung flagship contender.

Ah, another company with mindless copying and against choice. Sad.
I hope they at-least have stereo speakers and IP rating to show for the missing headphone jack.

They better give 5000mAh battery to this phone after the PRECIOUS space they saved by removing 3.5mm jack to give bigger battery...
