To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your OnePlus 6T:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to clean the screen and body. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.

• In-Display Fingerprint Sensor Performance: Ensure your finger is clean and dry. If performance is inconsistent, try re-registering your fingerprint. Using official OnePlus screen protectors is recommended for optimal sensor performance.
• Screen Burn-in: As the device features an AMOLED display, it is prone to image retention or 'burn-in' over time. If you notice persistent ghost images, you may need to consult a professional for assessment.
