Samsung's Galaxy S7 may come with its own 3D Touch

Samsung is rumoured to be adapting a new pressure sensitive screen technology into the Galaxy S7, but it's not going to be made in house like Apple's 3D Touch technology that debuted on the iPhone 6S.

A new rumour suggests Samsung is looking toward a company called Synaptics to use its ClearForce technology in the new flagship phone. ClearForce tech allows for different scrolling speeds, ways to unlock, gaming controls and much more depending on what pressure is applied.

It's the same technology seen within Huawei's Mate S phablet – but that phone hasn't hit the market just yet, so
we'll have to wait and see how it does.
Push it real good
The report comes from a leaker on Weibo called I ICE Universe, who has shared a few previous leaks from the
account on the Galaxy S7 but nothing
we've seen yet from the account has
proven true.

But it would make sense for the
company to drop in on the pressure
sensitive technology after Apple did so
this year with the iPhone 6S, and if Samsung isn't producing its own
technology ClearForce is a good bet.

Another new report has also suggested
that Samsung will only release one
curved screen phone next year and it's
set to be a Galaxy S7 phone with a 5.8-
inch screen. This year we saw both the Galaxy S6 Edge and the Galaxy S6 Edge +.
