Which one do you use Jow Forums?

The less autistic one

Nav buttons because I find hitting a spot that does what I want to be infinitesimally easier than making a gesture to do the same thing, but it's pretty autistic hair splitting desu

3-Button Navigation

Buttons. Gesture navigation has obvious UX issues (e.g. discoverability).

iPhone SE, so nav buttons

Neither, I have actual capacitive touch buttons and a physical clicky home button.

The back button should be on the right

Capacitive buttons.

You should try One-handed operation plus.

navigation buttons + nova gestures

I don't use Samshit, that's for sure.

Full screen gesture. Taking advantage of the screen space and I don't have to worry about burn in

Buttons, fuck gestures. Nothing more infuriating that grabbing your phone wrong and having it do random shit.

You're holding it wrong.

Nav buttons. Can't get the go home gesture to work, it always does the recent task thing. And I really need the back button, the swipe gesture is confusing as it works on both sides and for me swipe right means "next" not back.

My options for "back" are the arrow in the top left corner of the screen, or the back button in the lower left. I have an XL but tiny fingers, so of course I would enable gestures.

Why does Android 10 include that stupid line at the bottom of the screen when you're using full gestures?

Those half-hearted touch "gestures" are pathetic.

As much of a Toy OS iOS is, at least it got the gesture navigation right. They feel smooth, you can see whats's going to happen if you commit to the gesture, you can undo, you can cancel into other gestures...
The current Android gestures are just button presses behind swipe gestures.

Motorola's OneButtonNav™, aka gestures on the fingerprint scanner.

Full screen gestures, with the gesture hints turned off.

These guys have the best gestures on any smartphone

Ugly as fuck ur not original

Do you guys really not use Fluid NG?

It's so much more intuitive than buttons on the bottom of the screen. Swipe your thumb from the right edge of the screen over to go back, hold for a split second with the same gesture to view all running apps, swipe up from the bottom to go back to the home screen. It's how phones should come from the factory imo.

Gestures obviously
More screen space
Easier to use with one hand since I'm not s onions with small hands

>Ugly
It's on the screenshot for 2 seconds, IDGAF how it looks
>Not original
Really don't care. It's fluid and works for me, that's what I want.

not if you include meego

Gestures

once I got used to gestures I never went back

The one that doesn't involve using a fucking shitty touchscreen tracking device spyware pile of crap.

Home button gestures

trips of truth. It's really the biggest factor as to why I still haven't installed lineage on my note 7.

>soul vs soulles

OnePlus 3T here, capacitive buttons. Though I prefer onscreen like the HTC One M7 I had.

capacitive buttons below the screen in the bezel accompanied w/ a central physical button for the home key

Which phone fo you reccomend buying?

Neither because I'm not a dumb phoneposter nigger.

Android gestures are trash. I switched back after about five minutes

Gestures ever since they were introduced.

navigation + gestures from my launcher.

Yep. I had to install an app to get the same functions. It's still not as smooth as on the MIUI gestures.

Funny how that works. I'm The gestures really work 100% of the time. They're as reliable as hard buttons

gestures are like
10x better
youre not wasting any screen space anymore
and youre not losing any functionality after like the first 5 mins of using it

how do you go back or bring up menus?

buttons just werk and don't ruin 90% of apps because lolslidingpanels

Gestures desu, at first I thought they were a meme but then I realized I always hated on screen buttons that take up screen space so it's actually better. I do wish we could go back to physical buttons though

is that piecontrol? Is the new version finally as good as the old one? I have never updated mine since it got worse.

I just want physical buttons, man.

BB10 gestures.

I got a Xiaomi and enabled full screen gestures a while ago, tbqh it's really comfortable, only took like 2 days to get used to

Enjoy your RSI

Imagine being told that making complicated signs is preferable to pressing a simple button, and believing it.

I would use gestures but the Recents doesn't work as a gesture on my S9

>not using a dedicated button

LOL

Real buttons since I'm not stupid enough to buy a phone without those.

>Enjoy your RSI
Relative strength index?

Fingerprint sensor swiping.

Gestures with the help-lines hidden and then fullscreen apps(notification bar hidden)

Real ones just use a remapped bixby button

How do you use recent with only 2 buttons? Also it looks like shit asymmetrical like that.

trips of truth

based, this user gets it

These are the same kind of retards who use auto-hide taskbars on desktop PCs (if they even have ones). Rambling about "muh screen space", when putting your primary means of navigation there is literally the most efficient use of space you could have. But sure, the 20px more space for content totally is worth clumsy navigation.

iPhone X swipe gestures are the GOAT UX for phones.

>thumb resting on the right side of screen
>can literally swipe left from there to do a back
>home button
>thumb has to go down anyway, instead of tapping just swipe up
I'm really glad this exists, it was one of the few things preventing me from switching to android, with the onscreen keys being a massive waste of estate, an eyesore and detrimental to OLED panels with increasing the potential of burn in.
Physical keys > gestures > shit > aids > onscreen keys

>Has to click an on screen button to go to the home screen
>When he could have just flicked up to go home

>Has to click a task manager button to see his open apps
>Could just swipe between them like cards instead, or just flick and to the right to see all his apps

>Needs a back button when you can just swipe from the left

Sorry about your whole luddite condition user.

Moving your finger somewhere and then performing a swipe requires more movement and time than simply pressing one spot on the screen

yeah and besides, it's only clumsy for a little bit until you get the hang of it and it makes it hard for other people who steal your phone to navigate and gives you more time

on the other hand, buttons are ALWAYS clumsy

It literally doesn't, because you can chain actions together, only do them partially, do them as fast as you like, etc. It's far more fluid, even compared to disabling animations.

>swipe takes more time
weren't you just complaining that 20 pixels are negligible?
it's about two things: aesthetic and efficiency. And in this case, neither is more efficient. It's 2019, step up your pageantry.

I use a navigation panel on the side of my screen that you can hide with a gesture. or the bottom row of my hardware keyboard

It's more ergonomic when I'm using my phone one handed and when I'm not I'm probably using the keyboard buttons

On non shit (non android ports) applications the menus are usually on the bottom. Advanced options (non often used) are in the settings.
Going back is a standard swipe right.

When an application respects Applels guidelines it's a breeze. You can immediately spot lazy android ports with the burger menu.

in terms of user input precision and efficiency this isn't even a debate, direct inputs are always going to be better than gesture detection. the question in modern interface design is not about pragmatism it is how far they can push vanity and appearance over practicality before it starts crippling usability

like yeah the iphone doesn't need a home button but that doesn't mean that it didn't serve a purpose. there is more to device design than pure pragmatism but there's more to it than sheer vanity as well

the android app design guidelines explicitly tell you to not do the burger menu and google's "new" material design language was meant to force people into not being able to make that design decision. that's just lazy developers
