Samsung is set to be the first Android manufacturer to use a '3D Touch' screen in its upcoming Galaxy S7, it has been claimed.
The screen, believed to be being manufactured by Synaptics, would give the Galaxy a similar interface to Apple's iPhone 6s.
The technology allows users to control what they see on the screen depending on how they press it. Samsung has plans to release its Galaxy S7 early 2016.
The smartphone is expected to have a larger screen, up-to 128 GB of internal memory, plenty of storage space and 3D Touch capabilities, which is said to mimic the iPhone 6s's 3D Touch technology.
Apple's latest feature, 3D Touch, is a pressure-sensitive technology that will show different options depending on how the user touches the screen.
Recently, a Chinese social media network, Weibo, leaked information revealing a partnership between Samsung and Synaptics that will add similar technology to the Galaxy s7.
Synaptics announced the development of its newest technology, ClearForce, earlier this month.
The technology allows users to control what they see on the screen depending on how they press it.
A press release stated that Synaptics is 'working closely' with manufactures to deliver forced-enabled smartphones that will be shipped early 2016.
When Apple added its Touch ID fingerprint sensor to the iPhone 5s, Samsung implemented the same feature to its Galaxy s5.
Samsung isn't the only company trying to get their hands on Apple's latest technology.
Huawei introduced a special version of its Mate S before Apple had its event to tell the world about the iPhone 6s. But the Chinese company will not release the smartphone until sometime next year.
TheGalaxys7.com stated that Samsung will make an announcement about the Galaxy s7 in December 2015 and the smartphone is set to be release in January 2016.
As of right now, Samsung mimicking the 3D Touch technology is still he said, she said.
Only time and the announcement at the end of the year will prove if the rumors are true.
