AnonD-362866, 18 Dec 2015If that were true, Samsung wouldn't be developing it's own version of force touch. Think of it... moreYou dont understand .
The size of area would not be fixed .

This is some example of force touch without even need the force touch hardware .

Think of it like this, you have a petite female using the device, the size of her finger is genetically smaller than that of a male or even a regular sized woman, it would be extremely inaccurate for her to use.

                Anonymous, 09 Dec 2015You don't need extra hardware to be honest.Remove the extra hardware, and you remove the extra functionality. You have to remember that force touching does something, and long pressing does something else, You could try to emulate it sure, but would NEVER get the full experience without the extra hardware.

                          Reminds me of touchwiz where you would put your finger above the screen and the picture would enlarge or the video would start playing.

And it is adjustable.. The shortest is probably less than 0.5 seconds.. And it is error-proof.. 3D touch has a disadvantage where you are not sure how hard you should press.. Sometimes you have to do it multiple times to get the pressure right.. So NO.. 3D touch is not faster.

                                Thank you Instgram for proving that Apple fanboys' bragging of "3D Touch is magical" is wrong. It is a cool tech but not all that revolutionary.

                                    Ok, awesome! Now it's working now(it fixed itself after couple of hours lol) actually, it's released on Play Store but probably only for beta testers.

                                      I like this implementation better than the 3D touch. More intuitive for me.
