I recently began my OnePlus 12R journey, but already I can tell you my early vote for favorite feature: that beautiful alert slider. OnePlus has been including the alert slider on its phones for years and I’ve always wished it would somehow make its way to devices from other Android OEMs.
It’s so handy and one of the hardware differentiators that I enjoy most. With it, you can quickly toggle between Ring mode, Vibrate only, and Silent mode. The beauty here is that whenever I want to toggle between these modes, I don’t need to turn on the phone’s display, thus saving me time.
