Comment on On new installations, Android rebinds the power button to open up Google Assistant

As others have said Samsung has been like this for a while so they may be copying it from there.

If its the same as Samsung, holding power + volume down should bring up the power menu.

I actually like the button being mappable to something else, gives me more options, I do think they should have the default be the old behaviour though, maybe with a popup on the first activation to tell you that you can change it.

I have mine set to Bixby so I can quickly set timers and reminders without needing the always on voice detection, double press opens camera.

More options and customisation possibilities is always better, but using it to force another peoduct is scummy :(
