It seems that Nokia Mobile will be bringing Google’s version of Bixby button to the upper range of its smartphones. Unlike Bixby, Google Assistant is a more developed and at the end more useful tool, and to access it with just a tap might be cool for all the people that are utilizing Google’s smart assistant.
I’m just hoping for a power button with a breathing light to be included in the upcoming Nokia phones since that would be a useful feature now that Samsung got rid of a popular but archaic notification light. Also, breathing light is a kind of Nokia legacy. The last Nokia phone I had with breathing light was Nokia C701. Oh man, what a great phone that was. It also had a dedicated charging LED light to tell you that the phone is charging successfully. The power button on Nokia 4.2 and 3.2 does have the same purpose, and that is why I was more than happy to see it on Nokia phones. A dedicated camera button would be also a nice addition, but think that it is not necessary since less shaky shots can be taken without it.
