Many Android phones already have had buttons and more. My phone has an assistant button which I wish would become a shutter button when I open the camera, and do something else when I double tap. But it's not programmable sadly.

Now that Apple has done it, maybe it will make a comeback on Android...

At least I have really useful ports like a headphone jack and SD card slot. iPhone doesn't have that yet.... Lol

Headphone jack and sd card slot? You must have an old phone, wait till you buy a new one lol. It's annoying af how many manufacturers have removed this

I bought it new actually. Last December. Sony Xperia 10iii. In the meantime the 10v just came out a month ago.

I specifically bought Sony because it has a headphone jack and SD card slot.

But I know what you mean. It's so hard to find anything above €450 the has a headphone jack. Only the Sony Xperia's and the Asus ZenFone as far as I'm aware.

Aw man Sony has good phones but they're always like... 50% pricier than their counterparts.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

I wouldn't say 50% but definitely more expensive. I don't think they have the mass manufacturing that the Chinese companies have so their components and build costs are probably higher.
