Soft key windows

Soft keys on cell phones work in much the same way. Traditional cell phones — that is, cell phones that are not smartphones, or are based around a traditional numeric keypad rather than a keyboard — usually have two soft keys directly under the screen, one on the right and one on the left.

Most of the time, each key comes with a function when it arrives from the manufacturer. Users can reprogram them in order to suit their own individual needs. Depending on the phone, even the numeric keys may be able to function as semi-soft keys. A numeral key is not a true soft key, since its number memory can never be taken away.
