The Galaxy S26 series is coming in just under two weeks, and overall, I'd say I'm excited. The Galaxy S26 Ultra and its rumored upgrades, like a privacy mode for its display, or its alleged revival of Samsung's variable aperture camera, along with the changes tipped for all models, like an even better chipset, are going to be a lot of fun for users to try out, assuming everything's as the leakers tell us it will be.
But clinging to all that excitement like a stone in the treads of your sneakers is the idea that, in all likelihood, Samsung will have retained three virtual button navigation for another year, almost a decade after every other smartphone maker consigned it to the Recycling Bin of software history.
