We’re not far off from the launch of the OnePlus 6T, and as usual for the company, teasers are starting to come out. With today’s first teaser video, OnePlus is hinting at the in-display fingerprint sensor on the 6T.

A very brief video teaser on Twitter today does a couple of things. For one, it cements the “OnePlus 6T” name as the next smartphone from OnePlus. The company doesn’t tease a launch date here, unfortunately, but it does say that the phone is “coming.”

More notably here, though, is what the video shows. The six-second clip teases “Unlock The Future” with the OnePlus 6T, with an animation at the start hinting at the fingerprint sensor in the display which the company confirmed not long ago. While we don’t know exactly what kind of sensor the 6T will be using, the “beams” coming up from the surface here hint at an ultrasonic solution, but details are simply unknown at the moment.
