Sholder Buttons For Smartphone Gaming

When holding the phone sideways to play a game, it would be good if it had physical sholder buttons.

Usually these buttons in typical console games is for grenade and shooting.

So having these buttons, would allow for phone games to free up screen space that is usually for the trigger.
