Despite Samsung devices running on Android, their software design often diverges from Google’s stock Android, particularly in the layout of UI navigation buttons. Traditionally, the three-button navigation on Samsung Galaxy phones differs from Google’s standard. However, with the recent Android 16 QPR3 Beta 1 update, Samsung-style navigation keys have been introduced. Users now have the option to select between the stock Android layout—Back, Home, Recents—and the Samsung layout—Recents, Home, Back—when choosing the 3 Button Navigation mode in the settings.
Do Pixel phones now feature Samsung-style navigation keys?
