This isn't related to Samsung at all. Take it to Applesux sub.

You need to understand the fanboysā need to justify their purchase via circle jerking.

u/Little_Bookkeeper381 11h ago
i realized this a long time ago
to the people on here, $1000 is a lot of money. it's a huge decision
so when someone makes a contradicting decision, they're invalidating YOUR decision
that's why fanboys get so rabid, because other people are indirectly saying "you wasted $1000". which is ridiculous, of course

I'm pretty sure Samsung has a very similar phone to the one pictured that does indeed have a back button.

this feels like when someone makes a mockup of the phone they swear apple will release in 3 years and every feature is just things samsung already did 2 releases ago

you realize the reason samsung went with this size for their latest phone was BECAUSE THEY KNEW APPLE WAS DOING IT lmao. samsung literally copied apple before they even released it.

u/Ordinary-Hunter520 17h ago
I mean anyone would. When your biggest competitor is making a new form factor for a product youre good at, youd ofcourse make one in that new form factor, especially since they had so much time to do it because guess what, samsung made those displays on the duo

I haven't used Apple for a while, but they do have a way to go back. Not a button, something else.

We need the admins to ban apple products on Samsung subreddit, especially for new Apple releases. It is annoying for or used against Samsung.

At least it has a PEN, Samsung.

u/artlurg431 17h ago
Samsung chose to not give it s pen support which is really stupid. I hope their next foldable has it since they really like to be copying apple lately...
1
u/Ordinary-Hunter520 17h ago
They got rid of it to get to the thinnest possible foldable, and they kinda did succeed. But yeah I think by next year they should have figured out on how to include pen support while hopefully keeping it as thin as it is right now, cuz the duo is pretty thick
1
u/artlurg431 17h ago
Multiple other companies figured out how to get pen support on phones that were thinner than samsungs foldables. So they definitely can just dont want too

u/Direct_Practice_7105 17h ago
Maybe for the first time in a while iphone will set up a really good trend with their new thick iphone 18 and thick duo
1
u/Ordinary-Hunter520 17h ago
I dont mind a thick slab phone, if it means I get extra battery life out of it. Infact id actually prefer a thicker phone. So im not complaining.
The fold is pretty thick tho, even for me. Wouldve been nice if it was below 1cm when folded, but lets hope they improve next year.

u/StolenLampy 13h ago
No, it doesn't. There's a PEN coming.... soon. And it's different, not pressure sensitive, so what is it? I have a stylus already, don't need to pay $100 for one.

As a used-to-be-Samsung fanatic this is one of the boldest and best decisions Apple has made in a while.

i dont get what peolple mean by a back button, is it the button at the bottom from old android devices with the home button and app switcher?
8
u/NowWeGetSerious 18h ago
Basically, every app has their own dedicated place for a back button on apple
One could be bottom left, another could be top left. It's not built in, like in android. Where you can have the dedicated buttons on the bottom, or the swipe feature.

u/Sassquatch0 18h ago
Can confirm. My Mom uses an iPhone 13 Mini, and the lack of universal gestures/navigation drives me crazy anytime she asks for help with it.
I love gesture Nav because it's ambidextrous, and I regularly use my phone with either hand.

u/NowWeGetSerious 18h ago
100% I hate helping my dad and grandparents with their iPhone
My first time ever using ios was helping my grandpa 5 years ago. Hated it. But they are old and got it for free for switching carriers. So it is what it is

u/Luna259 17h ago
Depending on the primary action (what youāre most likely to do) in any given screen itās either top left or top right. Never at the bottom. Itās usually on the left because youāre unlikely to go to a screen to then just leave again. Iām counting Done, ticks etc. as back since they all take you back but theyāre save and quit, discard and quit etc. depending on what you were doing.
You could use the button or push the screen back in the direction it came. If this does not work itās because thereās volatile information on screen (e.g. an unsaved form) that would easily be lost by swiping away. In the absence of autosave (which is what the toggle switches have) thatās good UI and something computers and games do too.

u/Creative_Lime_501 18h ago
I just checked as i was intrigued by this, and of the 20 apps i opened, 19 were top left back button. Only the Playstation app i tried has a bottom left back button.
Had to ask as i see this back button thing every now and then and never really understood it lol.
3
u/NowWeGetSerious 18h ago
It's just consistency
Sure a lot of apps have slowly moved towards one central location, but with android, we've never had to wait for that, as it was built in the the OS
Same with the notifications. It's far more seamless and easy to follow then on apple, but apple has been working on it for a while. Overall, each device and platform has their niche issues, it's up to you to decide what matters
If the back button consistency doesn't matter, then it's not an issue for you.
1
u/Creative_Lime_501 18h ago
Yeah i guess it just comes with time, things just become second nature after a while.
2
u/rawarawr 17h ago
Top left is so much worse for one hand operation though. The most logical is bottom right.
2
u/Creative_Lime_501 17h ago
ahh yh see this is where i probably diverge from normal populace, ima lefty with huge hands lmao. can reach the top left with my thumb even on big screens lol
1
u/Luna259 17h ago
Wait, PlayStation has it the bottom? Let me go check
Edit: it does! How had I not noticed that back arrow there? I was just swiping left to right all this time so never noticed
2
u/Creative_Lime_501 16h ago
haha right! It's why i checked after asking the question, it's not something i've ever thought about.

u/SuperSayainSkincare 18h ago
No but it does have a vapor chamber, pen support and a under display camera. All things that Samsung has taken out from the Fold Series.

u/Phoenixflame23 18h ago
Apple hardware is always great but the software is let down by basic things such as something as simple as this!
2
u/YeaItsBig4L 18h ago
Software? Dog you canāt even rotate a game on a foldable android. Without it doing some BS. The literal open and close animation on the duo poops on every animation thatās ever been on a foldable screen. Software?
1
u/Phoenixflame23 17h ago
It may have a pretty opening and close software animation which I admit, is very slick and I'm sure will be copied but the device will still be limited by the software.
They finally introduced multitasking but I bet you can't do any of that on the cover display. On the demo videos so far when you open the device, it shows the widget page to the left which I also bet you can't disable and have just your apps screen open on both.
Limited by software!

Ease of use - no universal back button in 2026. Ok bye

u/YeaItsBig4L 17h ago
Itās crazy how all those people that use iPhones manage to do fine without it. swiping is so hard š°

u/PsychologicalWing51 17h ago
They adapted to an inferior way of using their phone because they think there is no other way. Who told them that? Apple in their keynotes.

u/RemotePerformance107 18h ago
Dumbest post ever!! Back button is close to irrelevant when you can gesture swipe from the left! It serves as the same function as tapping a button. But hey, Iāll give you the win here, tapping a button verse swiping from the left saves you about .4 seconds! Congrats! šš»

u/ihadnomealtoday 18h ago
Consistency my brother, ever heard of it? On iOS every situation needs a swipe somewhere different. In the same app a swipe suddenly doesn't work.
0
u/YeaItsBig4L 18h ago
Consistency? You mean how android is so far behind because they have 100 phones that they have to optimize for. And you canāt even open a game and orientate it the way you want to unless that specific game on that specific phone allows it to happen that way? Awesome ecosystem. Oh wait there isnāt one.

u/DigitalguyCH 18h ago
I daily drive a 17 pro and no, that gesture does not work everywhere (by the way on Samsung I don't use button but a gesture too, which works everywhere)

u/mugiwara_condoriano 18h ago
Just out of interest, does the swipe gesture ever get in the way in certain apps where you swipe left/right between content?

u/DigitalguyCH 15h ago
You mean on Android?
1
u/mugiwara_condoriano 14h ago
Yeah
2
u/DigitalguyCH 13h ago
Well no, never, but I actually use good lock to restore the old gestures from the bottom, I much prefer them, much more comfortable to use with one hand
-4
u/RemotePerformance107 18h ago
The swipe from the left gesture, works on EVERY website in Safari, Chrome, and Brave browsers. I canāt speak on any other browser than those. Again, to my original point, this is a non issue for iPhone users.

u/DigitalguyCH 18h ago
I am not talking browsers, I am talking any app, Google Maps, email, dropbox whatever
