OnePlus Introduces "Action Button" in Upcoming 13T Model — A New Era of Custom Controls

OnePlus is bringing a major change to how users interact with their smartphones. The classic three-stage alert slider will be replaced by a new multifunctional feature — the Action Button — debuting in the OnePlus 13T.

The announcement came from OnePlus CEO Pete Lau on Chinese social platform Weibo. According to Lau, the new button is inspired by Apple’s approach, first seen in the iPhone 15 Pro.

What is the Action Button and How Will It Work?

The Action Button in the OnePlus 13T will allow users to customize its function. In addition to switching notification sound modes, the company promises more features will be revealed closer to launch.

It’s expected that the button will offer a wide range of shortcuts — from launching the camera to enabling Do Not Disturb — much like Apple’s implementation.

When Will the OnePlus 13T Launch?

The OnePlus 13T is expected to be officially unveiled in April 2025, with the Action Button likely to be one of its headline features.

Why It Matters

This hardware change signals OnePlus’s intent to stay current with industry trends and offer more flexibility to users. Moving away from a fixed alert slider to a programmable button opens the door to new usage scenarios and improved convenience.
