OnePlus’ signature Alert Slider is ‘evolving’ into a button
1 min read
Summary
Alert Sliders are a standard feature on most OnePlus phones, allowing users to quickly change their phone between ring, mute and vibrate only settings.
CEO of OnePlus, Pete Lau, has said in an online post that the company is going to replace the Alert Slider with a button that offers more customisation options, although the specific options for this have not yet been detailed.
Lau stated that the new button will still allow users to change their sound settings without waking up their phone screen, and will offer a range of options alongside more simplified operating options too.
This comes as Apple launched a similar customisable button to the Alert Slider, known as the Action Button, on its newest range of iPhone Pros.
It is likely that OnePlus will launch the new button on its next range of phones, but this is yet to be confirmed.
