Samsung Galaxy S8 it will have a built-in 3D Touch, or at least partially available, according to information from sources within the company. I told you today that Samsung is already developing the new OLED screen for the iPhone 8, but the company would also have prepared one with a similar 3D Touch technology, but for the Samsung Galaxy S8 this time.
The implementation of a system similar to 8D Touch in the Samsung Galaxy S3 is done because the new smartphone will no longer have an integrated Home button. In this idea, those from Samsung thought of implementing in the Samsung Galaxy S8 a system that would offer vibrations when touching the screen to simulate pressing buttons.
Basically, based on today's information, it seems that the Samsung Galaxy S8 will have something similar to the technology in the iPhone 7, but instead of a physical button, it will only be a virtual one. The idea is a logical one for a Samsung Galaxy S8 that remains without a Home button, but the integration of this 3D Touch is done without a prior period of accommodation, as happened with the iPhone.
Samsung Galaxy S8 will have 3D Touch on the screen
The Samsung Galaxy S8 will be only the first Samsung smartphone model that will have an integrated 3D Touch similar to the one used in the iPhone until now. After the Samsung Galaxy S8, the Samsung company intends to implement the same technology in the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 towards the end of this year, and it will remain in future models.
Why Samsung has postponed until now the implementation of a 3D Touch in products is hard to say, but with the Samsung Galaxy S8 things will change. It is not currently known what kind of functions this 3D Touch will offer apart from that of a Home button for the Samsung Galaxy S8 and those for navigating through the menus of applications and Android.
"Samsung's new flagship smartphone Galaxy S8 is expected to partially use the 3-D Touch technology for its "virtual home button" on the bottom of the display screen that allows users to open up menus and navigate the phone, while the fingerprint-scanning home button will be relocated to the back."
There is a possibility that the Samsung Galaxy S8 will also offer interaction functions with applications similar to those for 3D Touch in iOS, they exist in a different version in Android. Having said that, with the Samsung Galaxy S8, Samsung finally takes over the 3D Touch functionality offered by Apple for over 1 year in the iPhone.
