Just like the Galaxy S8, the Galaxy Note 8 has on-screen home, recent and back keys. Removing the physical keys was necessary to free up space for the gorgeous Infinity Display. I don't think many will be complaining about this. The display and screen-to-body ratio on Samsung's 2017 flagships is fantastic.

In our top five Galaxy Note 8 tips, we outlined the steps that you need to follow if you want to reorder the on-screen keys. Samsung allows users to switch to the stock Android arrangement of the on-screen keys.

Some of you might be aware that it's also possible to change the color of the navigation bar. Those who didn't know that can follow this guide to change navigation bar color on Galaxy Note 8.

How to change navigation bar color on Galaxy Note 8

Step 1: Launch the Settings app and tap on Display.

Step 2: Tap on Navigation bar to bring up the relevant options.

Step 3: Choose from the range of background colors available.

It's as simple as that. Do bear in mind that the background color you select may not be applied to all apps but you'll see it more often than not.

The process is similar for the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ as well so you can try it out on those handsets as well.
