El Samsung Galaxy S8 It does not have a physical Home button, as it did with all previous high-end Samsung phones. However, the Home button continues to play a starring role in the company's flagship. In fact, the Home button The Galaxy S8 is the best we've ever seen on a mobile.
The best of the virtual button, and the best of the physical button
Initially, Android phones, as well as the iPhone, had physical buttons. One of the most important was the Home button. In fact, this button takes us to the desktop of the smartphone. And you can also activate the smartphone.
Of course, physical buttons have their flaws. They can be broken, and they take up a lot of space when that could result in having a bigger screen.
Samsung has managed to create a Home button that is capable of combine all the advantages of these two types of button. In fact, the Samsung Galaxy S8 has a Home button that is virtuality on the screen, so it is tactile. However, it is not a touch button only, because we can also press on the button that will be able to detect the pressure.
Also, this button is always active. In this way, we can press it even if the screen is off, as it is a button that is always detecting the applied pressure.
A single button on the Samsung Galaxy S8
The Samsung Galaxy S8 it was by no means the first smartphone to have a virtualized Home button on the screen. However, the physical button of the mobile is one of the best solutions that we have seen of this type for this particular button. The virtualization of the button does not mean losing the advantages of the physical button, so any user who comes from a mobile with this type of button, such as those that the previous Samsung Galaxy S7 had, will not find a great difference.
