Indeed, I didn't even notice it at first until I went to hit the "home" icon to switch to a different app, and saw that it and the menu buttons were gone. Just the back button was there. I've tried using the android "gestures" before, and I just don't like it. It's just too alien to me.

Call me old school, but I miss when Android phones actually had physical back/home/menu buttons. Having them be an option on the screen is an okay compromise, but man do I miss the tactile feel of actual navigation buttons.

I think the last phone I had which had A tactile navigation button was the Samsung Galaxy S5. It had a physical Home button and 2 touch buttons. But heck, I've had two different phones since then. Both emotionless slabs. Most likely it's going to be a feature of the past, like physical QWERTY slide-out keyboards. Those were freaking awesome. I still miss my Motorola Droid 2 all these years later for that reason.

(Picture I found on the internet. Mine was solid black.)

The S5 was a damn good phone. I only got rid of mine because some software I critically needed no longer supported it.

From what I can tell it looks like the Galaxy S7 was the last galaxy to have the trademark physical home button and 2 touch buttons. I went from a Samsung Galaxy S5, to a Galaxy A20, to the Nokia phone I have now.

The Droid 2 was always fun to show off to people. It looked like a normal phone, but then you'd slide out the physical QWERTY keyboard and the other person would be like... 🤯

Looks like it. Like her and Son are the only ones that will post once on this thread and then immediately logoff the website. Lol

Indeed it was. It came out in 2014, I bought it like in 2015, and was my daily driver until like 2018 or 2019. I can't remember the exact reason I was forced to switch over to a new phone, but I'd imagine it was probably a similar reason to you, likely some apps that I needed to have eventually became non-compatible with the device. The A20 I had afterwards was quite a "meh" device, The camera was meh, the hardware was meh, and the only thing it really had going for it... the fast charging, eventually killed the battery. It kinda sucked when 4-5 hours of usage would take your battery from 100% to 10%.
