SAMSUNG phone owners get to keep a beloved button removed on every other Android phone after the latest free upgrade.
The tech giant included the popular feature after the new Android 14 update.

Phone owners have received a major One UI update – which includes a new software version.
But this time, users can access a button which is not available on other Android models.
Some tech enthusiasts can access notifications at the long-press menu for app shortcuts.
The useful feature allows you to see the latest notifications of any app by just long-pressing the shortcut on the home screen.
But the button is no longer possible on devices with a stock version of the OS – including Google Pixel smartphones.
However, Galaxy devices running Android 14 still have this feature and are set to have it in future upgrades too.
Millions of Android users are also set to receive a FREE phone upgrade – a new call button that lets you respond without talking.
The innovative Samsung feature, called Bixby Text Call, has been designed to let users type a message to a caller and have it read aloud to them.
It could be extremely helpful for those with speech impediments, or simply those who don’t want to chat over the phone.
Meanwhile another major Samsung phone update will transform users’ experiences by allowing them to personalise their device’s vibration intensity.
Owners of high-end Galaxy phones know their device vibrates in response to a range of actions including tapping the screen, receiving phone calls, and using navigation gestures.
But a new upgrade will see them able to personalise their phone’s vibration intensity to their liking in a matter of seconds.
Plus, Samsung owners are just realising there’s a free little-known button that lets you take calls with no signal.
It’s been tucked away on your device this whole time – you just need to switch it on.
Simply follow these steps.
And, there’s about to be another big phone update that will bring along a new emoji design, camera app upgrade and more customisation.
The sparkly new operating system will be issued out to Samsung Galaxy devices over the coming weeks under the title One UI 6.0.
