As OnePlus gears up for the release of the 13T later this month, tech enthusiasts are already buzzing about its new design and features. One of the most significant changes is the replacement of the beloved Alert Slider with a "shortcut key." Let’s dive into what we know about the OnePlus 13T and how it could impact users.
Goodbye Alert Slider, Hello Shortcut Key
One of the standout features of OnePlus phones over the years has been the Alert Slider, allowing users to quickly switch between silent, vibrate, and ringer modes. However, the OnePlus 13T will be the first device to ditch this iconic feature. Instead, the device will feature a new "shortcut key."
Louis Lee from OnePlus teased on Weibo that the OnePlus 13T would still allow for the three-stage volume switching, but with the added benefit of being customizable. The shortcut key will allow users to perform a "series of operations," potentially akin to the iPhone’s Action Button. While we don’t yet know all the specifics, this could open up exciting possibilities for multitasking and personalization.
Flat Display with a New Design
Another major change with the OnePlus 13T is the switch to a completely flat display. The device will feature a "small straight screen" with no curved edges. While the OnePlus 13 had a slightly curved display for durability, the 13T opts for a pure flat design similar to the OnePlus 13R. For users who prefer a more traditional design, this could be a welcome change.
A Compact Device for Small Phone Fans
Despite some of these bold design shifts, the OnePlus 13T remains a compact and user-friendly device. With a 6,000mAh battery and weighing just 185g, it promises to be a small phone fan's dream. It balances power and portability while still being packed with the features we expect from a flagship device.
What We Know So Far About Its Release
The OnePlus 13T is slated for release later this month, but the launch outside of China is still uncertain. We’ll have to wait for more official updates to see if it makes its way to global markets, and whether it will be available in regions like North America and Europe.
With a new design, feature upgrades, and the exciting addition of the shortcut key, the OnePlus 13T is shaping up to be an exciting release. Stay tuned for more updates as the launch date approaches.
