The OnePlus 10T launch event is edging closer, with the event being just over an hour away. It is the second flagship smartphone model from the company in 2022, but, it will be skipping an iconic part of the brand’s phone design.
For those unaware, the new smartphone will not feature the Alert Slider that many of the company’s loyal customers have come to love. This offered users a way to directly put their phones on silent or vibrate when needs be through a physical slider rather than through the UI. However, this will be the Chinese smartphone maker’s first flagship handset that skips this iconic OnePlus phone design feature.
Previously, we had reported on a tweet from a known tipster that claimed that the brand will only launch a few smartphones with the Alert Slider in the future. The tipster further added that the design feature will only be offered on flagship level Pro models. But you might be wondering, the OnePlus 10T is a flagship grade handset. So why does it not feature the Alert Slider? Well, the answer is simple. The brand decided that it had to sacrifice this feature in exchange for more room on the inside of the chassis.
Basically, the Alert Slider was removed to make way for several new upgrades, which includes a high wattage charging, a large battery capacity, and even a better antenna signal. All three of these were the major reasons for the Alert Slider missing from the upcoming premium grade smartphone.
