Xiaomi’s Buttonless Phone: Zhuque

In recent years, we have frequently heard about phone concepts that do not have physical buttons in the technology world. Such innovations are designed to enhance user experience and provide a more modern aesthetic appearance. For example, Vivo’s Vivo Apex 2019, introduced in 2019, drew attention as a concept phone that mimicked physical buttons with capacitive and pressure-sensitive buttons.

However, it seems that the Chinese technology giant Xiaomi is preparing to take a step further in this area by developing a buttonless smartphone model. According to information shared by the leak source chuvn8888 (via Smartprix), Xiaomi is working on a high-end device codenamed “Zhuque.” The most significant feature of this phone is that it does not have any physical power or volume buttons.

This buttonless device, currently in the development stage, is expected to be released in early 2025. There is still no definitive information about what technologies will be used in Xiaomi’s innovative device. However, some predictions suggest that the phone may use a combination of capacitive buttons, pressure-sensitive sensors, and vibration motors for input.

Additionally, it is thought that Xiaomi’s high-end buttonless phone may also support motion controls and possibly voice commands. There is also a possibility of using an under-display selfie camera. The phone is reported to house the upcoming Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 4 processor. However, since the buttonless phone is still in the development phase, there is no information available regarding other details such as the camera, display, or battery.
