In an official forum  post , OnePlus co-founded Pete Lau explains how the under-display fingerprint scanner works and why it decided to include it now. Firstly, OnePlus 6T’s under-display fingerprint scanner technology is called  Screen Unlock,  and it employs a new optical module backed by multiple software algorithms and Qualcomm SoC security, to deliver a fast and reliable authentication experience.
