Chinese manufacturer in OnePlus has been known to offer the alert slider switch on most of its smartphones, and this has come as quite the handy tool for people who make use of OnePlus phones. As a matter of fact, most people even claim that the fact that OnePlus offers the slider in their phones serves as a major purchasing point. The company has offered the option on most of its smartphones ever since the OnePlus 2, as the alert slider gives users the option to switch between silent, vibrate and ringing sound profiles. What this refers to is the fact that if the screen of your device is shut, then you don’t need to turn it on in order visit the quick settings – so as to tweak your sound profile.

This feature hasn’t exactly been too popular amongst other smartphone manufacturers though, however, this soon might end up changing. Indeed the latest news surrounding another Chinese company in Realme ends up claiming that the brand too will release a phone next month which will offer an alert slider.

This phone from Realme is said to be a mid range offering, and unfortunately enough, more details with respect to the phone weren’t exactly forthcoming from the source that claimed the same about the alert slider. Nonetheless, this could indeed prove to be the very first time then that we might end up seeing an alert slider being present on an android phone from a company other than OnePlus. 

It could also prove to be great news for people who are looking for an affordable phone to purchase that comes with the aid of an alert slider. Of course OnePlus doesn’t offer this option on its more cheaper phones such as the Nord devices, so Realme bringing this feature might be great news for all those who are looking to indulge in the slider with an affordable option in mind.
