OnePlus 6 Will Allow Users To Control Camera Using The Alert Slider

The OnePlus 6 is following the pattern of its predecessors. Up until a few weeks ago, there was barely any chatter about the OnePlus and now, we appear to be close to its official launch. As of now, the company has confirmed that the OnePlus 6 will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset and also support gestures for navigation. And now, OnePlus has released a new teaser hinting towards advanced functionalities of its infamous Alert Slider. According to the teaser, the Alert Slider on the OnePlus 6 will let users focus on a subject while using the camera app.

The alert slider on the OnePlus 6 is expected to have dual click support similar to the one found on the Sony Xperia XZ2. However, unlike the Xperia XZ2’s dedicated shutter button, the alert slider may not double as a shutter button. It is worth noting that OnePlus is the only Android smartphone maker to consistently use an alert slider since the OnePlus 2. It is one of the features that has been appreciated by many OnePlus users. With more functionalities being added to the slider, it appears the Alert Slider will gain more popularity with the OnePlus 6. It will also be interesting to see if the slide to focus feature will work with third-party apps like Snapchat, VSCO etc.

Lately, we have learned that the OnePlus 6 Premium could cost up to Rs 48,999. The Premium version is expected to have 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. In fact, this is expected to be the OnePlus 6 limited Avengers Edition. Unlike every year, the company is might launch three flagship models with different storage and RAM combinations. The 6GB RAM and 64GB storage will be priced between Rs 33,999-36,999, and the 8GB RAM and 128GB storage will be priced between Rs Rs 38,999-42,999, respectively.

With the OnePlus 6, the company will re-introduce an all-glass design. In fact, the smartphone is also expected to support wireless charging as it has a glass back panel. Apart from the OnePlus 6, the company might also launch a pair of Bluetooth earphones. Huawei also introduced its own pair of truly wireless earbuds, the Freebuds at the P20 Pro launch. In fact, the leaked document does speak about these earphones, but no pricing has been mentioned.
