The smartphone industry is primarily driven by innovation and imitation – if you aren’t creating something new, you’re generally copying it and putting your own twist on it. It’s accepted practice, and it’s how you either stay with the pack, or surge ahead – in Samsung‘s case in 2016, they might have to do a bit of copying. Apple launched its latest devices this September with a pressure-sensitive display technology that they dubbed “3D Touch“, and frankly while it’s applications are kind of limited for the everyday user, it’s something to market, and predictably, the Wall Street Journal has it on good authority that the Samsung Galaxy S7 will have a pressure-sensitive display to match Apple’s efforts.
This should really surprise nobody as 3D Touch was the main attraction of Apple’s latest devices. Also in the not-surprising bucket is assertions that Samsung will again be releasing two devices at the same time, the Galaxy S7 and its companion Galaxy S7 edge. It’s said that the design for these new flagships won’t differ that much from this year’s design and that has so far been supported by a number of rumours. Whatever the case, it’s going to be interesting to see how Samsung follows up from this year’s effort.
