OnePlus plans to replace its iconic Alert Slider with a customizable button, according to CEO Pete Lau. The Alert Slider, present on most models for a decade, allows quick toggling between sound profiles, but Lau believes it is too bulky for this function. He promises that the new button will retain the ability to switch profiles without waking the phone and cater to both power users and those seeking simplicity. While specifics about the models or release dates are not provided, this change is viewed positively for enhancing user experience.
The Alert Slider, which has been a hallmark of OnePlus devices, will be replaced with a customizable button that aims to enhance user experience while retaining essential functions.
Lau argues that the Alert Slider is 'a huge piece of hardware just to switch sound profiles,' suggesting that a smarter button could provide a more personalized experience.
