Pixel phone users may soon have the ability to customize their navigation options, similar to Samsung Galaxy handsets. A recent code discovery in Android Canary hints at the possibility of flipping the order of the three navigation buttons on Pixel devices. This feature could allow users to rearrange the Back, Home, and Recents buttons to match the layout found on Samsung phones.
The default navigation system on Pixel phones currently offers gesture navigation, while Samsung Galaxy devices come with the traditional three-button navigation. However, with this potential update, Pixel users could have the option to switch to a layout that is more familiar to those transitioning from a Galaxy handset.
While the timeline for this feature's release remains uncertain, the option to customize navigation could greatly benefit users who are accustomed to a specific button layout. Stay tuned for more updates on this development.
