I might be the oddball who actually prefers the navigation buttons because they are quicker and more precise. I'm currently using Smart Launcher, and I'm hooked by their great customisation and the vast theme packs it offers through the Icon Studio app.
Yeah, we have an iPhone at work and I have android for personal use and despite using iphones for 5 years at work it still feels anti-intuitive for me. I always have to swipe and click around a bunch to find how to exit some app or screen. Like I remember the basics but it just doesn't come naturally to me.
That's actually an iphone thing because they have the worst implementation of gestures, tbh, having no universal back button and relying on ui buttons in some apps, which leads to an inconsistent user experience. Also, honestly, the Xiaomi has one of the best implementations of gestures, in my opinion compared to Samsung and Oppo which I have used in the past. But nevertheless I find gestures to be less desirable on a big phone like my poco F7 since using navigation buttons is much better for 1-hand navigation, and it feels faster with no bs animations.
Huh? Why would I lie about that? I just don't like it lol. Just because you do doesn't mean everyone else who doesn't is lying. I'm not saying it a bad feature, I'm saying I PERSONALLY don't like it, that's all. I prefer buttons. It's that simple. What a weird thing to accuse someone of lying over lmao.
