What is /g/'s opinion about On-Screen Navigation Buttons?

>>56904074
They're shit.

There is no advantage to them.

>>56904074
They're shit.

Technically more screen realestate when it matters. Makes the chin of the phone smaller (because you don't need off screen buttons) so when watching videos you get less bezel and more screen.

Tell it to the pixlel

If you have on screen button at least you can grab the chin. I prefer on screen

Its disgusting

One reason I like On-Screen Buttons is that they feel better.
Capacitive buttons feel too sensitive and occasionally get accidentally triggered.
Also, a 5.5" phone is (almost) usable with one hand if it has on screen buttons, but not at all if it has capacitives.

>>56904074
Software buttons are the best way to interact with a smartphone but only if they're combined with a very small bottom bezel (like in op's picture).

Not going to be ideal for OLED screens. Pic related.

>>56904640
Didn't they fix that shit on newer screens?

Have a OnePlus 3 and I use the hardware buttons. Couldn't bring myself not to

>>56904074
They're shit.

It was just a way for manufacturers to save money.

Burn in is always a problem.

>>56904415
This is the objectively correct response.

>>56905049
*subjectively

hardware/capacitive > cancerous on screen buttons

>>56904640
will this happen to my 5X

Capacitive buttons are top tier.
Physical buttons are ugly.
Onscreen are literal rotting trash tier.

>>56905466
>muh form over function
>>>/fa/

I like Capacitive buttons over the onscreen buttons.

4 posts are mine and I haven't said a word about capacitive buttons.

>>56904074
I would rather kill myself

Anything to have a greater screen/surface ratio.

>>56904074
I've only ever had Galaxy S smart phones but I think real buttons are better.

>>56905567
I wasn't talking about onscreen vs capacitive, I was talking about capacitive vs real.
>Physical buttons are ugly

>>56904660
The back button should be on the left. Left = back is an accepted standard in software.

no. non-labeled physical buttons are the best

>>56905558
Do you just shitpost with the same two or three reaction images over and over? It's getting quite old.

>>56907166
But it's further away from your thumb so it's harder to reach. Why would you put the most used button further away?

>>56907411
why? because its still in thumb's reach and its easier to have your thumb extended instead of contracted.
I'm left handed and I'm not complaining about the 'correct' layout.

>>56907843
Idk if it's because I'm not used to it but it strains my thumb to hover it over the left side from the right.

>>56904074
I hid them and use ForceTouch (on nexus5 so just by areasize), works like a charm.

>>56904074
Not a fan. i like the way oneplus does it, option in settings for on screen or on bezel button

>>56908192
Sounds great , does it use the Samsung or Stock layout?

>>56904426

Your 5X has an IPS LCD panel, not an OLED panel

Like they care about longevity, silly goyim.

>>56904074
Never used on screen but it seems like a waste of screen space and a way to save the manufacturers money

>>56904074
No

Top tier: Physical buttons

Mid tier: Touch sensitive non on screen buttons

Low tier: On screen buttons

Most ridiculous waste of space tier: Single home button (very rare) with the rest on screen

>>56904074
There are people who don't prefer on screen buttons? Why?

>>56909385
>let's take this thing designed to display changing content and just keep the same thing there 99% of the time
On screen buttons are one of the most retarded things man has ever conceived.

>>56909417
But it gives you more screen space if you're going to watch a video or look at an image. You wouldn't have that extra space with physical buttons nor would you be able to change them easily.

>>56909719
A 5" screen doesn't magically get larger because it has part of its area devoted to on screen buttons. A device with real buttons and a 5" screen will give you exactly the same amount of screen space for videos (and even more everywhere else because there's no onscreen buttons wasting screen space)

>>56909735
Is this bait?

>>56910264
Of course not, you're just retarded.

I personally enjoy a non-traditional button layout (back button on right, so I can hit it with my thumb on my oversized phone)

I do have the nexus 6 though, and the burn in on the OLED is real. I swapped out the screen with an OEM replacement and it burned in a new one in under a week.

Still, on screen > capacitive > hardware

>>56910298
Are you too dumb to see your mistake? Is this bait too?

>>56910383
Please do explain. You've already hit new levels of retardation, I'd love to see you push it further.

>>56910308
Burn in doesn't exist anymore retard. It's all in your head.

>>56910308
how is hardware worse than capacitive?

>>56911685
Because you can't disable them.

physical buttons are shit, not even Apple uses them anymore. capacitive buttons are annoying because I can't hold the bezel to watch a video without hitting a button. on-screen is king, especially since they disappear when I don't want them.

Uhh you can... Its the same principle as disabling capacitive buttons

>>56904074
Thought they were shit at first, but after spending time with them on my Sony Z3 going back to capacitive feels weird. They're feel better since they're on the same plane as the rest of your screen, especially if you use a screen protector.
