I want every Android phone to steal the iPhone 15 Pro's Action button

All sorts of Android phones used to have shortcut buttons, and with the arrival of the iPhone 15 Pro's Action button, it's time to bring them back

    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.

            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.
