OnePlus teases new phone OnePlus 13s with 'Plus Key'

In March, OnePlus co-founder revealed that the company will be replacing the signature feature 'alert slider' with an 'action button' on all new OnePlus phones in 2025.

Now, the company has released the new teaser of the upcoming phone OnePlus 13s, which features an iPhone-like action button called as 'Plus Key'.

The trademark alert slider is a physical switch, which allows users to quickly change between silent, vibrate, and ring modes. It's located on the edge of the phone.

But, with the new OnePlus 13s, it will be replaced with a 'Plus Key'.

As you can the teaser video, users can programme the button to perform several actions such as opening an app, taking a screenshot, launching the camera, turning on the torchlight, switching between silent, or ring mode and do more.
