Android phones from now on without the "Menu" button?

Android phones from now on without the "Menu" button?

Android phones are known for their long: Back, Home and Menu.

So HTC has a recognizable phone design with four buttons that are always below the screen. In addition to the three buttons mentioned, HTC has added a "Search" button. While, say, Sony Ericsson and Samsung phones have three buttons each.

What has been talked about for some time is that the Ice Cream Sandwich version of Android will have no need for buttons like this.

Google was on the Android Developers blog two days ago and urged developers not to develop applications that rely on the "Menu" button. In the Honeycomb version created for tablets, Google introduced new buttons, which are transferred to the Ice Cream Sandwich version of Android, optimized for both tablets and phones.

Google says that the action bar and the application screen itself are used to navigate the applications. But if there are too many options that can't fit on the screen, then "Action overflow" can be used.

Action overflow provides the ability to display additional options as well as the "Menu" button, only this time it is in line with the ICS design, and using it achieves a consistency of the Android operating system interface, which Google is now striving for. Recently, Google also published instructions on how to design ICS applications.

It is also standard for these devices to have WiFi , LAN port (RJ45), IR Remote , at least 2 USB ports , support for high definition video formats (these cheap ones often have 4K support), and usually come with a remote .
