In the latest drama from the tech world, OnePlus has decided to swap out the fan-favorite alert slider for a shiny new shortcut button on the forthcoming OnePlus 13T. Yes, you heard that right—no more quick toggling between silent, vibrate, and ringing modes like a pro!
CEO Pete Lau recently spilled the tea on Weibo, hinting that this new button won’t just sit there looking pretty; it’ll have some *fancy* custom functions too, although he’s keeping those under wraps for now. Will it be like the iPhone’s Action button? Who knows! Maybe it’ll unlock a secret level in Candy Crush, or perhaps it just lets you blast ‘80s music at inappropriate volumes.
With the phone wars heating up, it looks like OnePlus is betting you’ll love this button enough to say goodbye to years of tradition. But let’s really question this: Are we ready to let the alert slider wave goodbye to the sunset, or do we still have a place in our hearts (and pockets) for such tactile joy?
Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure—this change is bound to create a buzz, just like that one guy in every group who starts raving about their new gadget.
So, are you Team Slider or Team Shortcut? Let’s hear it!
