Budget smartphone makers OnePlus have release a new flagship that uses 3D face recognition.While the OnePlus 5T unlocks as soon as somebody looks at the phone, the company's reticence on the tech being used suggest it is nothing like the 3D system being used in Apple's Face ID.But some reviewers have also claimed that OnePlus's facial recognition feature is 10 times faster than iPhone X's.According to OnePlus officials, Face Unlock uses more than 100 unique identifiers to unlock the OnePlus 5T. The device reads these identifiers using phone's front-facing camera. However, the iPhone X beams 30,000 infrared dots onto the face of a user and maps them using an infrared camera. The OnePlus 5T will be available in 6GB RAM + 64 GB storage and 8GB RAM + 128 GB storage (midnight black) versions.
