  • OnePlus and OPPO could purportedly drop the alert slider feature on their phones.
  • The brands would apparently switch to a remappable hardware button instead.
  • This would be a major change for OnePlus in particular, as almost all its flagship phones have the feature.

OnePlus has offered alert sliders on most of its Android phones for a decade now, and this tradition continues on the OnePlus 13. We’ve even seen OPPO adopt the switch on its recent high-end phones.

Now, leaker Digital Chat Station has claimed on Weibo that OnePlus and OPPO (the so-called Ouga group) will drop the alert slider in favor of a button. The tipster added that this button would be customizable and support multiple functions.
