      The headphone does not have to fight for space with the fingerprint reader at the bottom, it can be on top.

                "Does the in-display fingerprint reader really take up so much room that the 3.5mm headphone jack had to be dropped? That’s not the case with the Oppo R17 (non-Pro) and even the OnePlus 5T prototype pictured above. So, we don’t buy this explanation."

                At least GSMArena is SANE about this situation.

                  Removing the 3.5mm headphone jack made Oneplus not great again. Oneplus 5T is already the last Oneplus which is the best. Oneplus 6 is ruined by a notch and now 6T lost the 3.5mm.

                                Not reasonable Explanation. Indiplay finger print scanner not worth at cost of removing headphone jack. Fingerprint is only a method to unlock. It does not matter where it located. Foolish Oneplus.

                                  If next Mate 20 pro can incorporate the in display fps with 3.5mm headphone jack, then the excuse is burned.

                                    What happened to "Never Settle"????

                                    The lack of 3.5 mm jack isn't justified. You can't claim that it needed to be removed for the UD fingerprint scanner, we all know that's BS. Vivo, Meizu and even Oppo have released phones with both.

                                      Thank you OnePLus, looks like you are maintaining the price around $550.

                                      It's a great news for the consumer and bad news for the top leading phone seller.
