Samsung has something called Game Tools on the s7,s8, and s9 that automatically puts games in a letterbox mode. You have to dig into the Game Tools menu and toogle ‘Full Screen’ to eliminate this, in which case Game Tools asks to restart your game and restarts your game in true full screen mode if you accept. I’ve found after you quit the game it often turns itself back to letterbox mode. Very irritating, particularly as this often affects navigation button functionality.
