So i just bought Asus rog phone 6d and im extremely bothered by the lack of the back ,home and whatewer is the 3 one called buttons on the news androids. Is this something you all got used to with time or does this still bother you( IT really fells much less intuitive compared to the old 3 buttons ,alghtough preferably i would love to have both since the back gesture seems kinda usefull )?
Not to mention how often the on screen navigation buttons would just burn in. There’d be a permanent outline where they normally are if you were to view any full screen media.
Definitely made sure to enable gesture navigation on my current phone and that hasn’t been a problem.
I was about to consider trying this on my phone and then I read your comment and realized my phone is 3 years old and has had the buttons in the same place (portrait) for 95% of the time it’s screen has been on and it will 100% have burn in.
Is screen burn in still a problem for modern phones in 2023?
If your phone uses an OLED display, which is most phones, then yes. Not a problem under normal use but when you have a single navigation bar that is present on the phone at all times, the burn in for that one particular area can be really noticeable.
I’ve had my current phone for 3 years now, however, and using gesture controls since the day I had it, I have no noticeable burn-in that I can see.
If people are so concerned about nav bar burn in, then why aren’t they concerned with burn in from icons at the top bar like clock and battery percentage? Yes, the numbers change, but parts do remain static like the colon, percentage symbol, battery icon, etc.
