Ondrej Holzman When Apple introduces next week the new iPhone 6S, will no longer be able to claim to be the first smartphone to feature a pressure-sensitive display. The Chinese manufacturer Huawei has overtaken him today - Force Touch has its new Mate S phone.
The display, which reacts differently if you press harder on it, was first introduced by Apple with its Watch. But he is not the first to come with him on the phone. Huawei presented the Mate S at Berlin's IFA trade show, with which it weighed an orange in front of a cheering audience.
The weight function is of course only one of the many uses that Force Touch offers against current displays. On the Apple Watch, by pressing the display harder, the user can bring up another menu of options. In the Mate S, Huawei introduced the Knuckle Sense feature, which distinguishes the use of a finger from a knuckle.
For example, to quickly launch applications, the user can use his knuckle to write a letter on the display and the application will launch. In addition, Huawei addresses all users with the Force Touch Idea Lab, where it is possible to submit an idea for how differently and innovatively the pressure-sensitive display could be used.
The Huawei Mate S otherwise has curved glass on the 5,5-inch 1080p display, a 13-megapixel rear camera with optical stabilization and an 8-megapixel front-facing camera. The device is powered by Huawei's Kirin 935 octa-core processor, and the Mate S has 3GB of RAM and 32GB of capacity.
The catch, however, is that the Huawei Mate S will not be offered in all countries. It is not yet clear which markets the product will reach, and its price is not known either. Still, Huawei takes credit for being one week ahead of Apple.
Is it just me or does every new phone look like an iPhone lately?
Dear Jakub, you really only think so. Unlike Apple, some companies can also make nice phones. It's quite strange that when Apple Fans keep seeming that others are copying their darlings, that no one is copying the Apple Watch abomination.
So why are you here if you don't like apple?
I also don't understand what allowed you to write that.

I enjoy screwing up gays and metrosexuals.
I would like to see your girlfriend if you have one…..
You're funny :) I've seen a lot of new mobiles, but none of them can come close to the iPhone 6 in terms of design. Hmm what will it be :)
i have ip6 But sorry, the Huawei P8 or Mate is a very decent phone. If not better than apple processing. And my girlfriend has a P7 and it's tuned amazingly there. He doesn't want iphone because of Mac and apple tv, I'm going for huawei.
The Huawei P8 is a nice phone, I have no doubt about it, I like the perfection of the front side of the 6, the way it bends right to the edges and the bend continues smoothly even on the lower sides, that's amazing to me
So sorry, I have an iPhone 6 Plus and I can say that it's really disgusting. Even after a year, I didn't get used to the design. I bought it because I'm already caught up in their "ecosystem" and I'm happy with everything else. But the iPhone 6 is a failure. The stripes on the back are disgusting, the protruding camera is disgusting... All the precision of the previous iPhones is simply gone. I'd never believe I'd say this, but almost every manufacturer now has a better looking phone than the current iPhone.
only if they manage to improve something they didn't invent :) it's good to take a mobile phone, change 4 elements of the design and present it as your own, I've gotten used to those stripes only now, but the design of the side and front of the iPhone 6 is perfect, about the back I'd rather shut up :)
Probably because of your biased view Apple Fans.
I talk about IT on the web, so what do I know about it :), for example, this Huawei is nice from the front and side, but I really don't like the back.
I also only like the iPhone 6 from the front and side, not the back
paradoxically, the back and sides of the Lenovo S90 are more beautiful than the iPhone 6, but the front is ugly because it has capacitive buttons
design is a purely subjective matter
if apple released a mobile phone with 5 corners, it would be the perfect design for you, because it is apple
and which one for example? for example Xiaomi for sure :D and it's interesting that this abomination sold as many in a few months as any other watch in its entire existence :D
Tvl 8core processor :O ??? 3GB ram :O ??? It's always a good thing. After all, it eats the battery and increases the price of the phone. I know that the more I use it, the more Adidas, but if you'd rather debug the system.. :(
huawei is tuned perfectly. Apple has been going bad lately
So what's eating the battery in your iZárkak? Ségra has an iP 6. 2 cores, 1GB Ram, the resolution is comical, and yet my Note 3 will tear her ass. And I have 3GB of Ram, 4 cores older than Apple and FullHD. Why would disconnected cores or RAM eat battery? You are a tragedy.
Well, who would have expected it when it has double the battery and certainly a slightly different size :D and it's about how often and mainly what you use it for :)
Strangely enough, debater Michal would have expected that. I was reacting to his moronic remark that a large ram and many cores eat up the battery. The basis is simply sufficient battery capacity. Not even hothead Tim can do physics.
It's not 8-core, but 2x4-core just to save money. Either 4 weaker or 4 stronger radars, but I didn't look for it, I'm just guessing...
3GB or 2GB, (which Android today already uses for smooth running with multiple applications without problems), it almost doesn't matter from the point of view of the battery.
Otherwise, I wouldn't exactly compare it with the iPhone, it's not a hit with the battery, but a poor average file...
a storm in the woods... no one knows what it costs, when it will be available, how the touch force even works, but especially that it "overtook" Apple? In what? Did they announce something?
They got ahead of them in announcing it earlier. Even so, the first phone with a force touch display on sale may be the one from Apple. And it probably will be - Huawei won't have it on sale yet.
kks 3gb ram? unseen droid. 1gb ram 4EWER
I think 1GB of RAM is also SEDLIACKE. And Apple knows you too. The Air 2 has 2GB and I expect the 6S to have it too. And if I remember correctly your roar of bliss over the expected iPad Pro, it will have 3 Gb of RAM. 2GB is even Apple's minimum when using multiple apps on the screen. Only android doesn't have 3 GB. Even Windows Phone will have it. Lumia 950 and 950XL will have 3 GB. Probably because of the continuum. So calm down and don't act like a PEASANT.
When I see the design, it probably won't be sold in America :-D.
Well, of course, anything rectangular with rounded corners shouldn't be sold :/ quite embarrassing already..
I think it's embarrassing that someone copies the design like that.
Especially this one, it seems to me to be one of the weakest on the iPhone.
PS: If you don't see the shape (those lines, roundness, etc.) then open your eyes :-).
I don't know about you, but it's far from an iPhone. If anything, you can argue about the htc m9+, but not the iPhone.
The iPhone inspiration is probably obvious there, but for me personally it's not distracting. Yes, gold and rose-gold probably wouldn't appear in Huawei's offer, if Apple didn't put it on the market, but what... Let them show what they can do.
it's worse than religion :)
