Which side do you like the back button on?

[tcdude]

I prefer the right side I just find it easier and more fluid that way

right side

Right side so it is consistent with my tab s2

I used the default Android style. Back on the left.

Always had Samsung phones so I'm brainwashed to have the back button on the right.

Anyway just to help kill some time until April 21, please vote in the poll and discuss your vote below.

I think this is a great idea. I'm going crazy waiting. I voted for the right side just because I'm already used to it.

Of course the right side. Your backspace key on your PC keyboard is on the right side, as is the carriage return key that brings the cursor back to the left side. It doesn't make sense to have the back key on the left especially if you look from left to right. Your first button shouldn't be the back button. That's like going back before you got started! Samsung got it right, everyone else wrong!

I'm going to put it on the left. I've been away from Samsung since the Note 4, so I'm used to the left to right standard

Back button on right, as per Samsung default

The S8 is the first time I've been super plugged-in on discussing a new phone, and maybe I'm really late to the party but I'm surprised to see a lot of hate for Samsung's historical choice of having the back button on the right side of the phone. Am I the only one that likes the back button where Samsung has always had it? As a righty, it's easier for my thumb to hit a right-side back button than a left-side one, at least on the large phones I've been using since the original Note came out.

Actually I liked it on the left where it use to be on the earlier Note models. Before when the split screen first came out the button was on the right and you tapped it and apps would open on a side panel and you'd choose from there what apps you'd want to have on split screen, it just seemed easier to me to do it that way. I'm ok with either way because I have a LG V20 and it has the on screen buttons too so I'm already use to that and no big deal

I've used it for so long on the right, I may just leave it there. My last non-Samsung phone was the Motorola Droid.

I don't really care what side it's on, as long as it's there. I hate that my iPhone 7 Plus doesn't have a back button.

I'm very excited to finally be able to put it on the left. Like others I use multiple Android devices so it will be nice to have them all the same way

The Notes have always had it on the right. The first Note had a search button to the right of the back button, but the back button was still on the right half of the device. At least in the US...maybe other regions had different layouts?

Right has surged ahead, 14-9. And we finally have one vote for bacon!

I don't mind either position.

I get used to them very easily. Switching back and forth between a Galaxy and my Moto Z isn't tough. for me.

I like the fact that Samsung included the option to switch the buttons around. If I'm not mistaken we can also change the color.
