For the latter case, a virtual camera button usually compensates for the lack of a dedicated, physical button. Yet, many a user has been frustrated by the the camera buttons of most camera apps for Android.
For instance, when I attempt to shoot a self-portrait photo, I constantly run into trouble with touching the onscreen camera shutter button precisely with my finger.
Google announced the Google Pixel 3 and Google Pixel 3 XL in New York City on October 9. Although numerous leaks over the past few months told us pretty much everything we needed to know about the design and specs of the devices, we didn’t know how much the Pixel 3 line would cost or when we’d be able to get one for ourselves.

Some problems exist for so long they become normal. Some, like Microsoft’s Blue Screen of Death, become a meme.
