Considered as the foundation of navigating smartphones and tablets is the menu that appears on the bottom of the Home screen, called the navigation bar.
Navigation bars in mobile devices appear in different styles, layout and button order. Nonetheless, they all serve the same purpose that is to help you navigate your device.
The traditional navigation buttons in Samsung mobile devices are the default layout that appear at the bottom section of the display.
