CTOnews.com, September 14 (Xinhua)-- Samsung is planning to remove the phone's physical buttons, including power and volume keys, and will provide these functions in software, according to Twitter whistleblower @ OreXda.

However, the source said that the design will not appear in the future Galaxy S23 or Galaxy Z Fold / Flip 5, but is planned for the Galaxy S25 series or Korea Telecom customized version.

CTOnews.com has learned that a number of manufacturers have tried to remove physical buttons from phones, such as Huawei Mate 30 Pro, which has tried to remove the volume keys, control the volume by touching and sliding, and retain the physical power keys.

The 2019 Meizu Zero phone went a step further by directly adopting a non-hole design and using pressure detection technology to achieve virtual power and volume buttons on both sides of the body, but crowdfunding failed and was not mass-produced.

Since the birth of mobile phones, physical buttons are becoming less and less. In the end, most manufacturers only retain power keys and volume keys, which has become the current mainstream form. Do you think phones without physical buttons are the trend of the future?
