Earlier, we saw a concept showing off a Samsung device without physical power and volume buttons. The company has not yet disclosed any info about its plans to ditch physical buttons, while, a famous Apple analyst now come up with information that iPhone 15 Pro and 2023 Android phones could use solid-state button design.

According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple iPhone 15 Pro will be equipped with solid-state power and volume buttons, ditching the traditional physical buttons. Moreover, top Android flagships launching in 2023 could also follow Apple’s footsteps of ditching physical buttons in favor of solid-state volume and power buttons.

As noted by the analyst, Apple could implement some elements such as Taptic Engines on the internal left and right sides in order to provide force feedback so users can have to feel like they are pressing physical buttons. It could finally be possible with the implementation of a total of three vibrators.

When it comes to the power button and volume rockers, smartphone manufacturers are not thinking about it anything for a long. As Apple is reportedly ditching traditional buttons, Android vendors will surely switch to solid-state buttons, which could bring better results for OEMs in terms of sales.

 

Removal of physical power and volume buttons won’t not only make phones advanced and unique in design, but it also let them prevent the insertion of water and dust particles. As there won’t be any kind of gap in the right body, the chances of dust and water insertion will be significantly reduced.

If we talk specifically about Samsung for removal of physical buttons. We might see a mid-range Galaxy A phone with solid-state power and volume buttons. The company won’t bet on its flagship line for such kind of big change that can badly make an impact on sales.

Let’s see, what happens next!
