I've switched to purely gesture navigation and never looked back. Wouldn't surprise me if they'd remove 2 button too eventually.
Never understood 2 button navigation, it's just a lot of wasted space for just 2 buttons. Gimme 3-4-5 buttons to do useful stuff if you're gonna use the space.
I felt the same. 3 button do the job quicker (a single tap to get what you want) but occupy a part of the screen. Gesture makes you do more but give you back the screen estate. 2 button seems to combine the downside without offering anything advantageous.
Is the amount of screen being occupied by 3 button navigation bar really that big? It's a few lines of text at most.
Yeah it's small, but a few phones got burn in from it (my cousin's LG V30 is one example). Personally I use 3 button on a LCD screen so that's not a problem for me.
Is burn in still an issue on devices in 2023 though?
