It looks like home buttons are becoming so 2016 as Samsung may ditch
bezel-based buttons in favor of a pressure-sensitive display for the Galaxy Note 8.
Samsung
will outfit its upcoming phablet with a "force touch" display that will
allow it to read how hard the user presses down on the screen,
according to the typically reliable ETNews (via The Investor). If
expanded to the entire screen, the feature would effectively match
Samsung's handset up to Apple's similar 3D Touch technology, which
debuted with the iPhone 6S and allowed for pressure-sensitive controls
on the phone's touchscreen. The report mentions using a similar solution found in the Samsung Galaxy S8 in-screen home button to power the Note 8's supposed force-touch tech. The Galaxy S8 Plus
ditched conventional buttons in favor of a wider display, and instead
used a pressure-sensitive digital button at the bottom to activate the
home, back and multitasking keys on the device. Tags: iPhone 8 Case, iPhone 8 Plus Case, Samsung Galaxy S8 Case, Samsung Galaxy S8 Edge Case, iPhone 7S Case, iPhone 7S Plus Case, Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Case, iPhone 7 Plus Wallet Case, iPhone 7 Wallet Case, Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus Case
