Forums - General Discussion - S4: Samsung copies floating touch from Sony

Shinobi-san on 14 March 2013

Dam, was hoping Samsung would go for a different design this time round. Seems very similar to the GS3

best touch advance....?

The way I can use my Nokia 920 with gloves on or even use with any item, pen, keys, banana!! Awesome at a football match when it is sub zero, will be great when skiing under the Matterhorn in a couple of weeks too.

I have the phone, it was released before Lumia, I don't get why sony didn't make a big deal out of it like Nokia did.

Good for them. I think it's a great idea and it's a shame that Sony puts it only in Sola and not any other high-end smartphone as a possibility. I hate when the screen gets dirty...



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

Its a general feature that will be on all phones soon.

Just like eyetracking is starting to become norm.

Maybe they will if they put it on one of their more decent phones.


I guess you are right, it's a crappy phone, it would've been a waste of resources to advertize it lol.

As far as I know, the Samsung Galaxy Note already had that feature, but it was only available when using the stylus.

I did not realize the Nokia 920 could do this.

Is it not a capacitive screen? I have heard of the extremely durable and scracth resistance of it, but not that you could use any object whatsover to control the touches.

its amazing frankly.

 

it would be really amazing if my 2 year old Galaxy S (the first) didn't do that... but it does...
