The Flex Button gives you one-click access to your most frequently used features. This is somewhat similar to the physical hotkeys in some rugged Umidigi phones like the Umidigi Bison X20.

The SIM/memory card tray is located on the left side. itel P65 has a dedicated slot for the memory card in addition to the two Nano-SIM slots.
