Back button touch area issue still not fixed

Zenphone 9

Android 13

Build: WW_33.0804.2060.113

Not rooted

I'm pretty sure this issue has been reported here before but I'm amazed nothing has been done about it! The back button (when using classic navigation controls) has a faulty touch area. Pretty much only works properly when you touch just the very bottom of the button.

This is a major usability issue and means I regularly have to press it multiple times to get a response. Even though the hover animation gets triggered.

Asus, please do something about this.

Hey @shaunbowen,
Have you applied a screen protector on your Zenfone 9 screen?

Hi there,

No I have never used a screen protector.

Please see a previous thread here: https://zentalk.asus.com/t5/zenfone-9/zenfone-9-navigation-buttons/td-p/167678/page/8

Where loads of people have the same issue.

Yeah it's like the hit boxes are just too small and you need to press in an exact location for each of the navigation buttons to register the touch. It's something I've hoped was going to be fixed in an update for a long time now.
