Rumor: Samsung plans to use Force Touch in the Galaxy S7

We still have a few months to go before Samsung releases the Galaxy S7, but there’s been a surprising amount of rumors surrounding the smartphone already. The latest rumor comes from China, where a leak posted to Weibo suggests that the company is planning to use something called ClearForce in it’s upcoming flagship, which is a technology developed by a company called Synaptics that functions in much the same way Apple’s Force Touch does. That means the Galaxy S7 will be able to distinguish between light and hard presses on its touch screen, which will double, or even triple the number of gestures that users can customize.
