Phone manufacturers are desperately working towards “all screen” handsets, going so far as to cut into the screen just to fit hardware like the selfie camera. While this is an aggressive trend, many consumers still prefer buttons. Keyboards, programmable short cuts, camera shutter buttons. In this modern age, can hardware beat software?

The viewer poll has four options. The premise of the debate is this video’s title: “Smartphone Buttons are Better than Gestures.”
Each poll option has TWO parts, if you originally agreed with that premise, and whether you changed your mind during the debate. So, if you originally AGREED with the premise, but TK changed your mind, then your vote will be “Agreed, but now disagree!”
