OnePlus is killing the Alert Slider for something better
A smarter, customizable button
Aside from iPhones, OnePlus is the only smartphone brand that continues to put a physical mute switch on its devices with the Alert Slider. The company temporarily gave up on the slider with the OnePlus 10T in 2022 but reintroduced it with its next flagship device following user feedback. However, following Apple’s lead, OnePlus has announced plans to phase out the slider in future models, replacing it with a more customizable button.
