Samsung came up with quick launch camera feature with the S6 & S7 where you could double tap the physical home button to quick launch the camera from any window (locked, unlocked, while using any app). This was immensely useful but with the removal of physical home button from the S8, the quick launch feature was also lost.

The Indian models lost the feature, as in other regions, the lock button could be pressed twice to launch the camera but in India the same action makes an sos call (govt requirement).

Now only if the screen is locked & Always on display is enabled, we can double tap on the home button icon to launch the camera but other than this we can't. We can't quick launch from any other window/screen. One useful feature lost.

SUGGESTION: Samsung added the Bixby Key, which works with single tap & press & hold. The double press on that button is unassigned. Samsung should assign double pressing/tapping on the bixby button to quick launch the camera.

I think this is a proper solution & users would love it.
