Change the order of Galaxy’s S8+ Navigation Buttons

by Ben Madison · June 26, 2017

I don’t know how you see things, but I definitely know that I don’t feel at all comfortable in this situation. I strongly believe that the old home button afforded Samsung a number of advantages, some of which are already causing confusion among those using the new Galaxy S8+.

The old physical keys allowed Samsung to maximize the screen space of its handsets, rather than losing a section of its UI to navigations buttons. Yes, I know that the new Galaxy S8+ has a tiny bottom bezel too, but it’s not so small as compared to the one on the S7. I have also seen people complaining about the fact that they need to reset their device, but they cannot use the Power button, Volume Button and physical Home button.

And besides that, removing the home button means that Samsung needed to find a new place for its fingerprint scanner. Instead of placing the scanner in the middle on the back, as other manufacturers have done, Samsung decided to move the module to the side of the camera.

And the order of Samsung’s navigation buttons is out of my power of understanding. If you also find Samsung’s usual setup unsatisfactory (recents, home, back), at least you can make a change about this problem.

Change the order of Galaxy’s S8+ Navigation Buttons:

First of all, you need to open the Settings app;
Then, choose Display;
Scroll down;
Then, choose Navigation bar;
Tap on Button layout to choose desired layout;
Here you will find some additional options such as adjusting the sensitivity, changing the color of the navigation bar background and not only.
