14 DAY TRIAL // OnePlus 3 was unveiled just last week, but it seems that a number of users have already been subjecting OnePlus’ “flagship killer” to a series of tests to assess whether the phone performs as expected. In the latest, OnePlus 3 competes against the iPhone 6s when it comes to the speed of the fingerprint scanner.
SuperSaf TV has uploaded a video on YouTube in which he tested the fingerprint scanner on the OnePlus 3 versus that on the iPhone 6s. It's worth mentioning OnePlus stated that its “flagship killer” has one of the fastest fingerprint scanners out there.
Although both devices have a fingerprint scanner on the front button, the iPhone 6s features a physical button that users can actually press whereas the OnePlus 3 sports a capacity button. The test reveals how much of an impact this has on the speed of the fingerprint scanner.
OnePlus 3’s fingerprint scanner clearly performed better than the iPhone 6s'
When the uploader activated the fingerprint scanner from the standby screen, the OnePlus 3 clearly performed in a timely manner and managed to authenticate the user quite faster than the iPhone 6s. The smartphone unlocked almost instantly.
From the lock screen, the OnePlus 3 once again proved its superiority and managed to unlock the screen in a much shorter time. Even after animations on both devices were switched off, the OnePlus 3 still managed to surpass the iPhone 6s.
The final test regarded the speed with which the handsets turned on the display after the fingerprint scanner was activated on the lock screen. OnePlus 3 was clearly faster in the final test as well.
Overall, the OnePlus 3 clearly managed to win this fingerprint scanner speed test while the iPhone 6s simply couldn’t keep up with the “flagship killer.” Granted, the smartphones were launched a few months apart, but maybe Apple will improve the fingerprint scanner in its new iPhone 7, set for release in September.
