Yesterday we you informed, that the new software button (including the Home Button) u Galaxy The S8 could be sensitive to pressure and thus perform a different function when pressed than when simply touched. However, Samsung won't stop at this solution, as sensitive buttons are just the beginning. Galaxy The Note 8 (the successor to the infamous Note 7), which Samsung is due to introduce later this year, should offer a force-sensitive 3D Touch display compressed similar to the one it offers in the second year Apple on their iPhones.
According to new information from South Korean sources, Samsung Display is currently pro Apple and his iPhone 8 develops pressure-sensitive OLED displays. Apple although it has had pressure-sensitive displays for some time, but these are LCD panels and iPhone 8 should offer OLED for the first time. So Samsung is helping the Californian giant with the deployment of technology in OLED panels, and it should also use it for its Galaxy Footnote 8.
However, this is not quite a premiere for Samsung, and it already has some experience with similar technology. The Huawei P9 also boasts a pressure-sensitive display, which is an OLED panel produced for the Chinese company by none other than Samsung Display. Apple is a more demanding customer than Huawei, and their 3D Touch technology is more sensitive, more sophisticated, and therefore more demanding to manufacture and integrate into an OLED display.
So it looks like Samsung will now test pressure-sensitive displays in the Galaxy S8, where only the lower part with virtual buttons will react to the force of pressing. Later, the company will switch to a full-fledged solution u Galaxy Note 8, where the entire display will be sensitive to pressure.
