However, it is a habit of using physical key, thus some of us still in love with your\u00a0hardware keys.\u00a0Even though Google\u00a0has made it clear that Android is all about on-screen buttons, manufacturers like Samsung\u00a0continue making their own desicions by putting hardware keys in their devices.<\/p>\n<p>It is such a confusion how to choose between physical VS capacitive buttons. Firstly, let&#8217;s see what physical buttons bring to us. People had been\u00a0used to using physical keys for decades since the phone was invented. Therefore, for starters, the feeling of a good button press is still better and easier than an on-screen key. On the other hand, such press button is not permanent obviously, it will broke one day. Furthermore, smartphones are getting bigger with massive display, a hardware button may occupied a good portion to maximum screen size.<\/p><div style=\"float: none; display: block; margin: 0 -10px; text-align: center;\"><!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_1 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"7528541080\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_2 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2964262507\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div><\/p>\n<p><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Physical-VS-capacitive-buttons.webp 1600w,https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Physical-VS-capacitive-buttons-300x187.webp 300w,https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Physical-VS-capacitive-buttons-768x478.webp 768w,https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Physical-VS-capacitive-buttons-1024x637.webp 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 402px) 100vw, 402px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Physical-VS-capacitive-buttons.jpg\" height=\"250\" width=\"402\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Physical-VS-capacitive-buttons.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Physical-VS-capacitive-buttons-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Physical-VS-capacitive-buttons-768x478.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Physical-VS-capacitive-buttons-1024x637.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 402px) 100vw, 402px\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19870 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"Physical VS capacitive buttons\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/p>\n<p>Turning to the capacitive keys, they give you an immersive experience, especially now that the navigation area can be fully transparent or take on the colors of the apps you have open. Moreover, buttonless is more pretty and stylish. It is also easier to\u00a0be added or removed. Having said that on-screen buttons are not available all time, especially to\u00a0access to camera without even unlocking your phone, or when you have trouble charging your phone and you need a physical home button to check the phone status.<\/p>\n<h3>Physical VS capacitive buttons: Which do you prefer?<\/h3>\n<p>We have some pros and cons, it\u2019s your turn to\u00a0find out what all of you think about this matter.
