OnePlus smartphones now come in different categories and the company has kept some of its features for the premium range. The OnePlus 10T doesn't come with the iconic alert slider, which is what differentiates OnePlus from other Android phone makers.

Over the past several years, OnePlus has seen a significant transformation, evolving into a flagship brand and functioning as one of Oppo's sub-products. The OnePlus phone's software interface and distinctive alert slider, however, are what most consumers found to be its best feature.

You may choose between the vibration, quiet, and ring modes using the alert slider, which is the toggle switch located above the power button. People now demand that other phone manufacturers implement it as well because of its utility. Instead, OnePlus has been moving in the opposite way.

It's interesting to note that rumours suggest OnePlus may bring back the alert slider, but only for the Pro variants. And it is simple to imagine the business employing this tactic. After all, the alert slider is present on the OnePlus 10 Pro but it is absent on the most recent OnePlus 10T.
