OnePlus 13T Could Be The First Phone To Embrace The Action Button

The alert slider has been a signature feature of OnePlus devices, influencing many purchasing decisions. However, last month the company announced it would replace this feature with a new customizable button. The first OnePlus phone to debut this button will be the OnePlus 13T.

OnePlus China President, Li Jie, recently teased the new shortcut key via Weibo. Unlike the traditional slider, this button allows users to switch between general, vibrate, and mute audio options, with customization options for launching other actions.

This concept echoes Apple’s Action button. Oppo, OnePlus’ sister brand, also showcased devices featuring a similar customizable button, capable of triggering AI functions.

In addition to the new button, the OnePlus 13T is expected to sport a 6.31-inch 1.5K OLED display, an in-display fingerprint scanner, and potentially the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. Despite its compact size, rumors suggest it will have a 6,200 mAh battery with 80W charging and dual 50MP cameras, including a main and a 2x telephoto lens.

While the 13T shows great promise, it marks the end of the alert slider era, last seen on the OnePlus 13. Here’s hoping the new button will satisfy OnePlus fans when it arrives in the coming months.
