OnePlus: One of the best phone features is disappearing

OnePlus fans could rely on one thing with almost all cell phones: the popular alert slider was included as a unique selling point. But that should change with an upcoming model, as a new report shows.

Smartphones from the Chinese manufacturer have had one since 2015 special slider. The unique selling point on the edge of the smartphone allows you to quickly switch between several sound profiles. A handy feature that can also be found on the flagship OnePlus 10 Pro. With the upcoming OnePlus 10R, however, the manufacturer would like to do without the alert slider (source: Pricebaba).

OnePlus 10R appears without an alert slider

According to a larger leak about the upcoming OnePlus 10R, the cell phone do not have an alert slider. The successor to the OnePlus 9R from 2021 thus joins some of the manufacturer’s cheap cell phones that also do without the slider. He was not involved with the OnePlus Nord N200 and the Nord CE 2.

Apart from the missing alert slider, the OnePlus 10R is said to be partially based on the OnePlus 10 Pro, but with weakened hardware. The MediaTek Dimensity 9000 could be used as the processor. A refresh rate of 120 Hertz can be assumed for the display. It is already known that there will be a punch-hole camera in the display. Unlike before, this should not be placed in the top left corner, but in the middle.

The OnePlus 9R won’t quite be able to keep up with the OnePlus 10 Pro.

OnePlus 10R: Presentation expected in May

With the presentation of the OnePlus 10R is in May 2022 to reckon with. The predecessor was released in April 2021. As with the OnePlus 9R, the successor should also be primarily intended for the Indian and Chinese markets. We have many new OnePlus cellphones coming up in the coming months.
