With the many other rumors surrounding the Samsung Galaxy S4 we have news about the possibility of a touches display using maXTouch S sensors. With Atmel’s latest maXTouch S sensors the Galaxy S4 will allow its users to gestures in front of the phone to use it instead of actually touching the glass itself. How cool would it be to control your phone in most cases without ever touching the display.
While this would be a new technology for Samsung devices it has been used on other phones so it has been tested and improved on before now. You may have seen this on the Sony Xperia Sola or Pantech Vega LTE but not on a high end device like the Samsung Galaxy S4. The older sensors in the aforementioned devices also used much more battery life than the newer ones that are supposed to be in the S4. On top of this the battery drain that is associated with the S sensor is not only improved but has the 2,600mah battery to work from on the Galaxy S4.
While we are looking forward to the announcement of the Galaxy S4 some time in the middle of March we will likely not get confirmation of these features until April at the earliest. LEt us know what you think of this new feature and if it would be a persuasion to purchase the Samsung Galaxy S4.
