Is Samsung the only manufacturer to still make Hardware Home/Back/Multitasking Keys?

Useable screen size is smaller if the bottom section is used for soft keys.
Never had a Samsung hard key fail
Interesting thing is that Samsung uses hard keys yet they seem to manage to make some of the smallest Top&Bottom Bezels.

My Xiaomi Note 4 has no hardware keys (except the volume rocker and power button). It uses capacitive keys for home/back and open apps...which I prefer
Capacitive is probably even better than a mechanical button.

Seems like most of the Xiaomi Mi phones have capacitive buttons, think I may look at getting a Mi Note 3.

OnePlus also still has the Capacitive buttons though you can configure on-screen if you wish

I saw that on the 3T review, probably the best setup for those who still want On Screen keys and a front facing Finger Print Scanner.
