HTC-made Google Nexus smartphone may support a 3D Touch display

While Apple still remains a front-runner in creating a more realistic sense of touch in its mobile device screens with 3D Touch technology – most recently seen in the iPhone 6S, Android smartphones might not be too far behind. With the 2016 Google Nexus smartphone, the tactile technology might just become slightly more of a common feature. According to Times of India, HTC, which will be manufacturing the next Nexus handset will be using a 3D Touch like pressure sensitive display technology in the Google smartphone. It is possible that Google might look at making the feature a standard for Android. The report adds that Chinese smartphone brands like Xiaomi, Meizu, Oppo and Vivo are also working on handsets with this technology. Most recently, Gionee unveiled its Elife S8 phone that boasts of the 3D Touch feature too. The lack of support from app developers has so far hampered the proliferation of the technology for Android devices. With Google getting on board, notes the Times of India report, developers are likely to integrate support for the feature in their apps and make it more popular on Android. 3D Touch allows users to interact more intuitively with their devices via a pressure-sensitive screen which mimics the feel and response of real buttons. In the long run, the force-sensitive technology also promises new or better applications, from more lifelike games and virtual reality to adding temperature, texture and sound to our screens as well.
