Ever since the launch of the OnePlus 2 back in 2015, the brand has provided the iconic alert slider on its devices. Although, after the merger of OnePlus and OPPO, many of the devices from the brand have come out lacking the slider.
This was mainly due to most of the mid and lower-end devices that OnePlus has launched in recent times being rebranded OPPO devices. However, with the launch of the OnePlus Ace/ OnePlus 10R, many customers were left confused as that being a premium mid-range device also lacked an alert slider.
Now, tipster Yogesh Brar’s recent tweet has revealed that there might be very few devices that come with an alert slider from now on. According to the tipster, the recently launched OnePlus Nord 2T was the last mid-range device to carry an alert slider. Going forward, the alert slider will only be offered in the Pro models along with some OPPO flagships.
This means that customers will have to shell out some serious cash to enjoy the physical alert slider in the future. Currently, there is no clarification as to why this decision was made. But it might be to keep the feature more exclusive or it could be due to OnePlus using rebranded OPPO devices as their mid-range offerings.
