Have you guys enabled the 'apply current theme' option in the navigation bar?  I found that using a black theme helps the nav bar stay black in most stock apps but in 3rd party ones  the nav bar will try to match the app's colour or will be white in colour.

Samsung already make black to white, so now nearly all 3rd party apps in default black will be in white unless the apps use custom color.

Changes in latest firmware G955FXXU1AQF7 with my own opinion on it.

user posted image

No Dot in Stock Home Screen | Dot in apps for immersive mode & White Nav Bar | Full screen without Nav Bar
  • June 2017 Android Security Update.
  • Immersive mode - Great Function with ability to hide the Navigation bar by added a tiny dot at left side navigation bar. Not showing in default stock Samsung Touchwiz home screen but it is annoying there if you are using 3rd party launcher, for example Nova launcher, can be turn off but this will remove the immersive mode function together.
  • Reduce Navigation bar color option - now only have light near white color option or follow themes. This make a lot user that prefer black navigation bar miss the option. For me this is backward the functionality, why Samsung you remove the ability to customize own color option. Very silly move.
  • 3rd Party Apps Navigation bar had been change to Default White instead of Default Black in previous firmware. No option to let user pick which color option. Samsung you shall consider do like what LG did which let user pick either black or white instead of fixed the color option. Even though I am very happy as I love and prefer white instead of black but not everyone prefer white but instead prefer black.
  • New version of Bixby but still pretty bad performance and no enhancement seen, still no Bixby Voice.
  • Don't see any significant performance improvement v/s previous firmware.

Meaningless reporting without saying which other smartphones were tested too . Is say the LG G6 , Xperia premium, HTC U11 considered too in the evaluation?

Its consumer reports dude.. They test every consumer products out there in the market, in this case smartphones..

Consumer Reports is an American magazine published since 1936 by Consumers Union, a nonprofit organization dedicated to unbiased product testing, consumer-oriented research, public education, and advocacy. Consumer Reports publishes reviews and comparisons of consumer products and services based on reporting and results from its in-house testing laboratory and survey research center. The magazine accepts no advertising, pays for all the products it tests, and, as a nonprofit organization has no shareholders. It also publishes general and targeted product/service buying guides. As of April 2016 it had approximately 7 million subscribers (3.8 million print and 3.2 million digital) and an annual testing budget of approximately US$25 million.
HTCU11 and the new Sony not yet fully tested. but LG G6 was tested as well and is in top 10 I think. Too bad for you you rate the G6 over the S8s right? No wonder your feathers got rustled loool.
1) S8+
2) S8
3) S7 Edge
4) LG G6
5) iPhone 7+
QUOTE
As of now, the top three spots are occupied by Samsung-made devices: Galaxy S8 Plus is currently the top smartphone in the market according to Consumer Reports, followed by its smaller sibling Galaxy S8 and last year’s curved flagship Galaxy S7 Edge. The LG G6 is ranked fourth and the iPhone 7 Plus follows suit despite being almost a year old.

separate buy. Suggest you buy from Maxis or Digi RRP @ RM39 for a box, inside got 2 pcs of SP..

That's if you want to get the original Samsung SP and not other types of SP.
