Samsung may be taking a page out of Apple’s playbook for its next smartphone. The handset maker plans to introduce a pressure-sensitive display on its so-called Galaxy S7, according to the prolific smartphone leaker “I Ice Universe” on Chinese social network Weibo. This is the account that has previously leaked benchmarks for Qualcomm processors in prototypes of Samsung’s next handsets, and information about an Apple processor that will come packed with up to six cores.
Only Samsung won’t be using the technology found in the iPhone 6S. Instead, it is expected to partner with Synaptics, which last Tuesday launched its own ClearForce brand of touchscreen display sensors and controllers that can tell the difference between a light tap and a hard press.
