**** The Official OnePlus 6 Thread ****

You've had a OP for 5+ years? Wow! same battery?
Well not quite, as it was released April 2014. But yes, same battery. It is on it's last legs now though, as of about 3-4 months I've had to give it two charges a day. Been waiting for someone to make a smaller flagship/contender but to no avail :( Now I'll be stuck with a stupid 6"+ brick and no headphone jack :( :mad: /rant (I'll probably buy the 6T...)

I wonder if the insceen fingerprint sensor will work for authentication in banking apps or even Google play.
I don't see why not if those apps support fingerprint authentication currently.
 
I hope so. I read somewhere it's an in house design and software, and Android doesn't have an api for it yet. Same for the mate 20p.
Yeah it's something to do with being an optical fingerprint reader rather than the "proper" type. Apparently banks don't consider it safe but like you say that may change.

Well you don't actually need to use the fingerprint reader for Android Pay. Simply waking up the screen is all that is required. For banking apps I don't use the fingerprint reader in any event. I opt for either PIN or Voice recognition.

I thought Google Pay disabled itself if you didn't have sufficient enough security on your phone? I definitely remember my S6 stopped working with Android pay because I disabled the fingerprint scanner. It's probably changed since.
 
I don't see why they would. There's no "security" on a contactless card and that's all they're trying to emulate. I think Apple Pay or one of the others that allow you to spend more than the £30 contactless limit are the ones that require security on your phone. Perhaps that's what you're thinking of.

Contactless payments have a limit of £30 in the UK but you can make unlimited contactless payments each day. Android Pay allows you to make payments up to £100, but anything above the £30 limit will require you to enter a pattern, PIN or fingerprint.
 
Exactly, although I'm not sure you can make unlimited contactless transactions. For sure, you have to enter your PIN every X amount of times you use the card. Eg. If you solely used your card for contactless transactions and never used an ATM or put your pin in whilst doing something else, eventually it'll force you to put your pin in on one of those transactions.

Ps: are OP doing their announcement tomorrow? I had the 20th in my head for some reason.. Sat doesnt seem right though.
 
^Anouncement on the 30th October with a release of date being 6th November.

Alongside what's been leaked re the fingerprint scanner, notch design, bigger battery, notch and lack of 3.5mm headphone jack a new UI will be introduced as well as a new night mode which I suspect will be similar to Huawei.
 
It's now the 29th as Apple have announced they have something being released on the 30th, OP dont want to get overshadowed by them.

Wow. They say they will cover any expenses due to the change, such as people who have booked flights and tickets etc. What a nice touch. I'm actually pretty amazed by their honesty.

Makes me want to get my first OPO phone even more. Wish they would bring the phone release day forward too!
