    Hard pass for me. I get where they are coming from - no buttons, next stage will be wireless charging only, means it’s a fully enclosed system with zero ingress for water or dirt, so that’s kind of neat.

    But personally I need at least a power button and volume up/down. And I love the slider for different sound profiles on OnePlus phones.

        Because most people have their phone on vibrate 100% of the time. I had a OnePlus and my slider got stuck. Couldn’t change the setting for 2 years but as it was stuck in vibrate, it didn’t matter anyway.

        Having owned 3 OnePlus phones, I never liked that feature.

        Android 5 introduced a “do not disturb” mode, which OnePlus’s software just… removes, in favor of the toggle. Hence I have constantly used workarounds or custom ROMs to avoid that toggle altogether.

        This is why I prefer DND/software toggle:

        • Automatic silence at night
        • If you know you need to have it silent for X hours, you can set a timer
        • Location automation, especially LineageOS’s, but I believe there is some form in AOSP (or Pixel) now too.

        I’ve also tried using the switch for something else, like flashlight, but sometimes ended up activating it by accident, draining the battery.

        So now I just have the switch doing nothing at all.
