When they would take away charging port then why would there be replaceable batteries ? Like you think for the water and dust resistance but that is all out of the door if you can remove the back panel to replace battery

          OpposedScroll75, 27 Aug 2024I can guarantee you that they didn't remove the button... moreAgreed, it's a way of bumping the price up by giving us "new innovations" to things we don't need or which aren't broken. It's just over complicating things.

I regret putting it in a half filled mug of water for few minutes and destroying the lcd panel :(

                    This reminds me of the button-less and port-less iPhone rumors we used to see on tech sites every month 10-15 years ago.

                      What's the point of button-less. I like buttons. I guess it will have buttons just different.

                        Removing buttons dont replace anything.

                                  Only button I use in Xiaomi phone is 'power button' to turn it on/off or restart it. I can control the volume by control panel that I prefer.

                                  Power button can be replaced by using control panel as in Samsung. Some devices I have doesn't have any buttons. I can turn it on by plugging it to chargers.

                                    Don't mind good old side buttons / 3.5 jack / physical simcard, just give me under-display selfie camera, or a screen without notch or punchhole. My Mi9 T keeps going, but for how long ?
                                    In fact, you can remove selfie cam !

                                      Don't bring it. How can we silence the phone call when it's in pocket.

                                        Buttonless means less moving parts, less malfunctions, less damage and repair. Also means improved dust and water resistance. Even better if they remove charging port and give it replaceable battery.
