Rumour and render: Samsung working on buttonless smartphones

[Jan]

Future Samsung Galaxy smartphones could be buttonless

Samsung could do away with physical buttons on its Galaxy S smartphone line, according to a SamMobile report.

The rumour suggests that the power and volume buttons' functions will be controlled entirely by software, but the source claims that the change will only happen a few years from now.

Call me when they start making quality products. At this stage they are just an entry level brand.

Hopefully the Bixby button as well. Best part of a Samsung!

They unfortunately can't slap an Apple logo on there to make it more premium.

Guess they hate users having a good experience? Them and the car manufacturers.

I'm still working out how the power-on function would be called without a physical button. Listening for a swipe on the screen, perhaps? A bit weird, but I guess it will be a standard thing soon.
