External Volume

Is there an android phone you can buy that has an external volume switch like the iPhone 5s?

I'm not talking about the volume up and down button, but a switch that literally turns the volume on or off.

I used to have an iPhone, and this is the main thing I miss after switching to android, Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro

*Basically, every time I want to turn the volume on or off on my Samsung, I have to click on the side to wake the phone up, scroll up, log in, then turn the volume all the way down.. it takes way too long and has been giving me the sh*ts for several months. I'd happily drop kick this phone into a wall if there's another android phone that has a switch that simply allows me to turn the volume "on" or "off".

Or, I can just go buy another iPhone 5.
 
Ah! This one seems to have what I want. It mentions it just after one minute.

I will keep watching. Looks like a good phone.

 
Actually, it is called an alert slider, and after watching a few YouTube videos, I can see that all OnePlus phones come out with it. I think I just found my new phone.

Thanks :)
 
Well, I am not impressed with this article. It says that OnePlus 6 has a slider by no do not disturb. What's the point of that???

So I think i would have to get the OnePlus 3 which is an old phone.

iPhone 5s is still a perfectly capable phone in my opinion. I am just trying to get away from Apple, because they're evil.

However, iPhones are BLOOMIN' good phones, usability wise. It's such a shame they're made by Satan.

But then again Android is owned by Google (also Satan).. so what do you do?

..and I'm not even joking.

"Satan", :thinking: I'm not religious myself, but I thought iPhones were made by Foxconn in Shenzhen.
 
You are mixing hardware and software together, iPhone and Android phones are different.
