The Samsung Galaxy S10 is one of the new smartphones equipped with a display that takes up most of the front. This means there is no more room for a physical home button.
Instead, there is a navigation bar that appears at the bottom of the screen. The navigation bar displays the Home, Back and recently opened apps buttons. So it is possible to navigate in menus and use apps.
