What's the point of removing the buttons if you still have holes for the speakers, mic and charging port. Unless they are planning to remove those too it seems kinda pointless.

You can already charge wirelessly. As for the speakers, Samsung has an OLED TV that vibrates the glass of the screen to produce sound, maybe something similar would be possible on a phone too. Don't know if something similar would be possible for the mic.

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't want a phone like that but it would be cool to see if it's possible.

It mentioned in the article that Meizu already has a phone with capacitive pads instead of buttons, screen-based speaker, 18w wireless charging and no USB port.

There was also a phone with that vibrating glass tech. I wanna say HTC but I'm not really sure.

Edit: Found it. Huawei P30 Pro

I think that you need a relatively large display in order for integrated speakers to be feasible, my 32 inch monitor has it but not sure it will work on a 7-8 inch display.
