Samsung has a new patent submitted, which describes how different levels of pressure on a screen, various functions may show on a smartphone or tablet. This feature we know all of Apple under the name of 3D Touch.
iPhone 6S Plus
Apple introduced the 3D Touch together with the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus, that this feature possess. Press harder on the screen, then a mini-menu to retrieve something. This will give the user quick access to various functions.
Galaxy Note
Now, Samsung is apparently also such a function in new smartphones and tablets build. Samsung already has some opportunities to run this year; Synaptics has a kind of copy of 3D Touch produced easily in the Note 7 or the Galaxy S7 could be built. Apparently found Samsung the solution from Synaptics not good, and the Korean company started looking for a way to 3D Touch.
S-Pen
Patently Apple has discovered that Samsung at the Us patent office a 3D Touch-like function has been registered. This is still little more than a flow chart in which text is described what the intention is. Samsung expands the pressure sensitivity, incidentally, to the S-Pen, the Galaxy Note models are supplied. Press harder with the pen on the screen, 3D Touch (that, of course, otherwise it will be called).
It can be a matter of time until Samsung with a pressure-sensitive phone on the market, but with patents, it is always uncertain whether and when they are actually in new products to be processed. May be the function introduced at the next Galaxy Note.
What 3D Touch exactly can do on an iPhone 6S Plus and iPhone 7 Plus, is in this article read.
