The iPhone16 has an all-new camera control button, as we learned at the Glowtime event earlier this week It's obviously affecting as some Android phones have already announced that they want to imitate it

One example is the Chinese mobile phone manufacturer Nubia The company's president Ni Fei joined the social network Weibo (via Android Authority) shortly after Apple's announcement to claim that the Nubia Z70Ultra will adopt a "more realistic camera button" with a half-press focus feature Such a button will be built on Nubia Z60Ultra, which already has a slide key that can be used to quickly open a camera or another app, but I couldn't really use it to take a picture

This comes from an old report from leaker Ice Universe (via android Authority) on how Oppo's next-generation flagship, the Find X8 series, uses the new "quick Button" and "It certainly sounds like a camera shortcut, but you don't get anything more specific than that"

You can't launch camera control without talking about Sony phones Sony already used the camera button on phones like Xperia1VI of the year, which acts as a shortcut and focus key as well as a shutter button in the camera app and definitely does not feel vindicated for Sony to stick to this feature, and perhaps we will see them a double down on future Xperia phones

Apple may have put its own spin on the idea of a dedicated camera button with the ability to adjust multiple settings and shortcuts for its incoming visual intelligence But this is a long-standing concept, and the iPhone is now gaining new attention because it is one of the most desirable phone brands, if not the most desirable phone brands in the world1 And it's tempting to see if this will be caught more widely as a result
