[Poll Results] Do you change the navigation button order on your Galaxy phone?

Poll

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Samsung's move to software navigation keys came with the Galaxy S8, just in time for the shift to Infinity displays with minimal bezels (although what was minimal then is almost giant compared to what's coming). The software keys also enabled the ability for users to change the traditional order of the back and recent apps keys that Samsung had used for years, fixing one of the complaints those fond of stock Android had always had with Galaxy smartphones.

Samsung's implementation, which has the back key on the right of the home button, always made more sense. The back button is more often used than the button for viewing the recent apps screen and, therefore, benefits from being closer to the user's thumb. Most Samsung fans probably leave the software key order unchanged for that reason, while those who were moving from something with the stock Android placement got the option to use that setup on their new Galaxy smartphone.

And that brings us to the question of the day: Which of the camps do you fall in? Do you change the navigation key order on your Galaxy device to match that of stock Android, or do you stick to Samsung's default setup? Let us know by voting in the poll below, then tell us more about your preference in the comments section. And don't forget: On Android Pie, you can switch to navigation gestures and get rid of the software keys altogether!

Results: The votes are in, and as expected, most voters (46 percent) stick to the default Samsung setup for the navigation keys. 26 percent say they change it to match stock Android's order, while 20 percent have moved to navigation gestures on Android Pie. Another 6 percent also say they liked the stock Android setup but have moved to gestures on Pie. And a minor 2 percent of voters didn't even know the navigation button order can be changed.
