< Over time, many of their buttons became viewed as “extra” and removed , and with each reduction these devices eventually developed into the phones in our pockets.>
In this sentence, I would like to know whether 'removed' is grammatically correct or not.
I believe it can be used in parallel with 'viewed' after the verb 'became'.

Not quite, we don't say that something "becomes removed." Only that something "is removed."
"to be removed" is the infinitive form. In this case we're talking about buttons in the past, so the correct form is that the buttons "were removed."

another note—"extra" is understandable but not the best word choice here. "Extra" is often taken in a positive sense, but in this case the buttons were removed because they were viewed negatively. A better word choice is "superfluous."
Nice writing!
< Over time, many of their buttons became viewed aswere deemed “extra” and removed , and with each reduction these devices eventually developed into the phones in our pockets.>
< Over time, many of their buttons were deemed “extra” and removed, and with each reduction these devices eventually developed into the phones in our pockets.>

No, the sentence doesn’t work because “became viewed as ‘extra’” is awkward and “became removed” is very unnatural, so it sounds like the parallel construction is after “viewed”: “viewed as extra and (viewed as) removed,” which isn’t what you mean.

< Over time, many of their buttons became viewed as “extra” andneous and were removed , and with each reduction these devices eventually developed into the phones in our pockets (today).>
< Over time, many of their buttons became viewed as extraneous and were removed, and with each reduction these devices eventually developed into the phones in our pockets (today).>
While such a parallel construction is grammatical, "became removed" is a very awkward expression that makes the sentence sound unnatural.

Sure, it's the tone of an article or video essay, but I think most people learn formal language before informal, and if they're just focusing on if it's correct English then it's fine.
