OnePlus 5T [$553.99 with code hk5toneplus] is currently basking in the glory of its face unlock feature that is claimed to be one of the fastest biometric authentication systems on the market today. However, the happiness is appearing to be short-lived as it may allegedly get hit by a lawsuit over patent infringement by SensibleVision, a company that specializes in developing facial recognition and biometric authentication technology.

The biometric authentication system on the OnePlus 5T makes use of the 16MP front-camera on the device along with the backing of software. This feature uses more than 100 identifiers to identify user’s face. Unlike other smartphones with similar tech, the one on OnePlus 5T can’t be tricked by photos.
