Default Messing with Android phones power button is a divisive business
The power button used to be the key to switch on or off your smartphone. However, device makers have taken more liberties with how this pusher controls our devices in recent years. Samsung and Google now use their side keys to trigger personal voice assistants. This practice is annoying for us at Android Authority, especially when the method to shut down the device is obfuscated. and it seems that many of our readers feel the exact same way.

Following this topical feature by my colleague Rita El Khoury, we asked you what you thought of brands changing the functionality of the power button on smartphones. Almost 30,000 people — or the population of a small city — voted on this one, and the issue is far more divisive than you probably would have thought.
