#Plus Key

The iconic OnePlus Alert Slider might finally be put to rest as the brand is replacing it with the so-called ‘Plus Key’. In a new set of teaser images, OnePlus reveals that they’re adding new AI features for its next release and a big part of it is utilizing the said Plus Key. By pressing and holding the Plus Key, users can activate AI Mind Space, powered by what OnePlus calls AI Plus Mind. Later this year, OnePlus will roll out the AI Plus Mind that will auto-categorize such saved content. (In other words, this is mostly similar to the Nothing Phone (3a) Series that featured an 'Essential Key'.) While AI Plus Mind will launch first on the 13s, OnePlus says it will come to other models in the OnePlus 13 series through a software update. Phones without the Plus Key can still access the feature by swiping up with three fingers.

But hold up, OnePlus might still find a way to make the new Plus Key function like an Alert Slider, possibly through customizable button mapping or gesture controls like double or triple taps to mimic its signature functionality.
