[ELvinasjuo]

Guys what do you prefer Nova launcher or touchwiz? I like new touchwiz but i read forums and folks says Nova have better battery life? I use s7 edge

I have the same phone and use both. Just changed over for now to the Nova Launcher. I like larger customizable icons

And what about battery life?

 

[amyf27]

It seems just fine to me

I like and use both. There has not been any noticeable difference in battery life between the two.

What about speed?

 

[tshirttan408]

Nova has gestures, that's all that needs to be said.

Speed is pretty much the same. However, with the way you can setup Nova with gestures, long presses, etc. you can perform functions with a lot less steps involved.

Your launcher won't affect battery life.

This...

Oh, there are a few launchers out there that are so overbloated with features and 'features' that are basically hooks to try to get you to download more junk (like GO), launchers don't affect power usage much, if at all.

Has TouchWiz changed that much?

I have been using Nova Launcher Prime on my Samsung phones & tablets since the S4. I don't know how Touchwiz is today, but several years ago I found it terrible. I am sure it is better today, but I am very comfortable with Nova and it is the first thing I install on a new phone and customize it to my liking.

I used to use custom launchers all the time but I went back to TouchWiz to see how it's improved and I like it. Especially on Android 7.0 Nougat. Far better than it used to be in my first Galaxy (S3).

I continue to use NOVA prime just for the simple fact I know the way the launcher works on any phone I get.

That's basically where I am at this point. I still have Nova Prime installed so I can switch to it if I want but I've used Touchwiz exclusively since I got Nougat.

That depends.

The stock launcher is perfectly fine if you just want a familiar look and feel and you don't want to mess around too much.

Nova in its stock form is also fine but you'll be missing out on its true potential.

One does not simply install Nova and leave it stock.
