OnePlus already revealed its plans to replace the traditional Alert Slider with a new, customizable button in its smartphones. Today, the OnePlus China head Louis Jie has confirmed that this will debut in the OnePlus 13T which will be introduced in China later this April.
In addition to supporting silent/vibration/ringing switching, a new custom function has been added to facilitate everyone to easily switch between options in a series of operations, which is very practical, he said, regarding the new button. More details will be revealed later.
Regarding the design, he said that the company had surveyed many small-screen users, and the small size and straight screen feel are what they like most. He said that the OnePlus 13T not only adopts a pure straight screen design, but also makes a lot of details in the feel. Everyone who has used it likes it very much, he added.
The phone is said to pack a 6.3-inch 1.5K flat 120Hz OLED screen with ultra-narrow bezels on all the sides and is expected to be powered by the flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC.
The phone is said to pack a huge, 6200mAh battery with 80W fast charging, bar-shaped dual-camera deco with a 50MP main camera along with a 50MP 2X telephoto camera, dropping the ultra-wide camera.
We should know more details including the exact launch date in the coming days.
