My old Nokia 5500 phone had that feature way back in 2008. One of the slickest thing ever. My phone will be in my pocket and I could control my music just by tapping my pocket.

                  of course this is most welcome. any new feature has the potential to be useful. more options for the user, specially because it’s user programmable. and if it can be activated/deactivated, then there’s lesser chance for it to cause confusion in ui.

                    James Whister, 21 Mar 2020No need of double tapping the back of the device for basic tasks, as those can be easily done ... moreMore intuitive input modes means better user experience.

                              while I have customised mine to have shortcuts to features but having a hardware gesture that will work no matter what is great. why are you complaining about more features?

                                    No need of double tapping the back of the device for basic tasks, as those can be easily done by mapping the home button (long pressing it, for ex.)
