Do you want more buttons on your next Android phone?

In the current smartphone landscape, it's all too tempting to feel like every device is identical to its rivals. Big, tall screen? Check. Flat edges to create a boxier design? Check. A multitude of camera lenses on the back? Unless you're picking up the iPhone 16e this weekend, you better believe it. For as much as Google loves to promote Android as the platform of "choice," plenty of those choices have dried up over nearly two decades of our modern smartphone age. And that makes the small differences between every modern Android device stand out that much more.
