The latest Samsung browser update allows for full screen browsing without status bar, immersive .
It's fantastic tbh. Beside all of the extra features, it consumes almost half as much battery as chrome while feeling much quicker, subjectively.
Remember seeing this being beta tested in their Samsung browser beta version and now it finally came to stable version.

Yup! Been using the beta version of the browser for a while just for this feature. I LOVE the fill immersive screen.
Been using the beta version to watch vids for over half a year. Use both versions still.
Getting tired of Brave's lack of meaningful improvements and inability to easily save bookmarks.
Last Brave update sucked.
Using Samsung more to replace Brave...

No kidding... even after almost a year it's still counterintuitive. Worse the bottom of the screen is a burden as well.
No way I know of
Yeah, what's the point of going full screen if you scroll up minimally and you get even less webpage real estate than most browsers, samsung at it's finest.

It does state in log that when you swipe down it will make the bars att bottom and top show. Reason why they did this is so you can reach it when needed, how else do you two think you're going to get bar back?

only does that near the bottom....from about 3/4 to 1/2 way up that doesn't happen
I haven't made the switch from chrome because of chrome tabs and other flag features. Does the Samsung browser offer these features?

Nav bar is really annoying and it consumes so much space on the screen.
It's OK on devices like Nexus 10, but it makes 5 inch screen to be 4.5 or even less.
Why google doesn't op-in the touch buttons on the lower body like Galaxy ?
Rhetorical question?
I don't think it really moves it from 5" to 4.5". Probably more like 4.8".
If you don't like it, definitely look out for customer roms. Even CM offers full screen mode. But there will be plenty of ROM's with PIE available within the next few weeks.
I hope Google gives us the option to hide it a bit more, such as in the camera, video and gallery apps...
It's a waste of space and is one of my major gripes with the phone (I still love it).
I do find that the extra bevel space at the bottom gives you a much better place to grip the phone.
Get another phone.

It's not. How easy is it to take same approach as galaxy ? I don't see any cons in doing that.
It's just terrible how much useful space it eats up now.
I got rid of my navbar. Using pie controls instead. The extra screen real estate is awesome, especially for gaming.

This is the third nexus phone that includes the navbar and you're acting like it's the first time you've ever heard of it. If you wanted a phone with capacitive buttons, you could've purchased one.

I like the navbar, I just don't like how big it is. Once Xposed is working for 4.4 I'll ditch the pie controls and just shrink the navbar down to my liking.

I like the navbar, and it's a key feature of Nexus devices. If you think it's stupid, don't get a Nexus device. Simple as that.
I swear, this is just like people who buy Samsung phones and then complain that they hate Touchwiz. If you hate an intrinsic property of a specific phone, maybe just don't buy that phone. Seems pretty obvious to me.

You do know that the nav bar goes away for full screen apps made with 4.4 in mind and in nearly all full screen videos until the screen is touched, right? What do you need that extra space for when you're not watching a video or playing a game?

Google was never fast at coming with good designs. It took them like 2-3 years to come up with a nice looking design for android. Same for web.
So I hope in a next iteration they will get rid of nav bar on phones whatsoever.
Count me in as a nav bar supporter. It's not like it takes up that much space. Plus, on custom roms, you can customize it, which is a lot of fun as well!

On the 6.0 update?
For me...
1. Faster fingerprint reader/unlock animation
2. New keyboard layout
3. Finally having an option to switch to pin code for alternative option if fingerprint isnt working
4. Adjustments on touchwiz
5. Google now on tap
6. New emojis
7.Faster phone ?? (hopefully)
Is speed an issue? My Note5 is smooth and quick. *shrug* Now on Tap is actually pretty cool. I don't use a protective lock screen so I don't know about that. I'd like to be able to activate Samsung Pay with a swipe up from the S-View window, but that won't happen.

Speed is definitely not an issue lol, but there are somethings that need a speed improvement.. such as the fingerprint reader. I just hope i dont see any lag. Im assuming you use Find my mobile? if you dont use a protective lock screen. And i dont use samsung pay or NFC payment for that matter, but i understand your struggle haha.
I could root my device, but i choose not to. Reason being is it will possibly lose value once Knox has been tripped.

I do use Find my Mobile but I also use this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rickclephas.fingersecurity to lock certain apps. It only locks those apps when I am not connected to my WiFi or my cars Bluetooth. Maybe with the new fingerprint API I'll lock the whole phone up.
I also noticed when watching marshmallow beta for s6/s6 edge is that the capacitive buttons dont light up when touching the screen... which is a smart move from samsung. It saves battery and it makes sense. It only lights up when pressing them or when pressing the home button.

Thats looks like a really useful app! And yes, really looking forward to the new fingerprint API. We can finally make purchases with just our fingerprint reader on play store, amazon, ebay, etc... hopefully.
I hope they fix the keyboard lag I have with every keyboard.

Actually it makes no sense, whatsoever. The entire point of the capacitive buttons lighting up when you touch the screen is so you can see them in the dark in order to press them.. lighting up when you touch them makes zero sense, why would I need them to do THAT?

It only takes about an hour to learn which is which... Its unecessary for the lights to turn on everytime you touch the screen, its just pointless.

They didn't light up because it was a Beta and the rooted kernel broke it even more on some devices, but made them work better on other devices. There's also mods you can use to just turn them off if you don't like them. Xposed. Or just go into the settings!!!
Also, just because you don't like them being on, doesn't mean that they are pointless. Tests have also been done to see just how much battery life is affected by Capacitive buttons and you can't even tell how much they use.
By the way, a lot of people like myself, work in dark places and have to use our phones. Think about that for a minute.:good:
The only thing I'm looking forward to is a phone that doesn't get an update and have it cause the phone to be worse than before. Right now my stock Note 5 works just fine.

I'm trying to figure this out as well. I've been using boost + since I got the phone about 2 weeks ago, but I disabled it yesterday as I was tired of apps not being saved in the background. So far I haven't noticed any difference in battery life or performance, and the problem with apps closing prematurely when the 6Gbs of memory is barely being used still persists.

That's because Oreo, not boost. So you haven't noticed any battery difference? Did you use both options? The one to adjust resolution and the other to sleep apps with no use in 3 days?

It is more fluid than with Android 9, it brings a new function to show notifications with the screen off and illuminates the edge of the screen with the color of the application that received a message or Things like that, the battery is not going to fully discharge it yet and I'll see how it is.

3. The tabbed settings option is gone

6. Some odd screen glitches (blanks out sometimes) when pulling down notification area
Overall, not impressed and wish I didn't take the update.
