How this is a desiderable feature? I always use the volume buttons for reject calls, shoot photos (although on my latest MIUI phone the volume button didn’t shoot a photo but set the auto timer), quickly adjust volume during a call or media playback.

Same for the power button, even if I set double tap to wake and double tap (on empty part of launcher) to standby, the power button is faster.

I’d even want more buttons. I want an extra programmable button(s) like the iphone and I also want a mute slider that can be programmed as rotation lock

Some people prefer the clean look, I guess. I prefer having a physical fingerprint reader too; it’s fucking annoying how so many phones have switched to those awkwardly placed under-display ones.

I also have a fingerprint reader in the screen but I feel like the one on the back of my Redmi 5 Plus was more reliable. It’s not a dealbreaker tho.

Yea I miss the hardware fingerprint reader that was on my last one. The under screen reader is much slower and less reliable.
