Google has said that its upcoming smartphones will only come with gesture-based navigation, with no option to switch to navigation buttons.<\/b>
\nGoogle put an end to all the rumors and speculations regarding the name of Android P by announcing that Android P is Android 9.0 Pie. Amongst all the features that Android Pie brings in, one major feature that comes with this latest version of Android is the gesture-based navigation. And, Google has said that its upcoming smartphones \u2013 Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL \u2013 will ditch the navigation bar having navigation buttons for the gesture-based navigation.
In an interview with Android Central, EK Chung \u2013 UX Manager for Android (Handheld and Pixel) at Google \u2013 said that the third-gen Pixel smartphones will come with gesture-based navigation instead of on-screen navigation buttons. In fact, it\u2019s not the just the Pixel 3 series, but all the future Google smartphones will come with gesture-based navigation and there will be no option to enable navigation buttons.
Well, while pushing its navigation gestures is certainly appreciated, it shouldn\u2019t come at the cost of disappointing users. There\u2019s no problem with all future Google smartphones coming with gesture-based navigation, but, what\u2019s problematic is that users won\u2019t have any option to switch to the good old on-screen navigation buttons as and when they want \u2013 something like what OnePlus 6 users can do.
The Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL are expected to go official on October 4, which is almost two months away, hence, we can expect Google to change its mind and do provide users the option to switch between navigation gestures and navigation buttons as and when they want.
What\u2019s your opinion? Do you think Google should provide users an option to switch to navigation buttons as and when they want? Or do you think it\u2019s fine for Google to force people into using navigation gestures? Sound-off in the comments down below.<\/p>\n
