The company will call it “Screen Unlock”.

An e-mail to CNET by OnePlus says: “We unlock our phones multiple times a day, and Screen Unlock reduces the number of steps to complete the action. By adding this feature as an addition to other display unlocking options such as Face Unlock, users will have options to unlock the display in a way that is most efficient for them.”

In addition, they have also added that they planned to bring this technology to OnePlus 5T. However, it was not possible back then as the technology wasn’t mature enough. According to OnePlus, the “Screen Unlock” will be more convenient than the traditional rear fingerprint sensor.
