Most important is to get rid of 2 years old kernels and blobs on new devices, next generation phones will run pure upgradeable Linux main land kernels

s-pen pusher, 08 Apr 2019i am an android fan all the way, but tbh, this is indeed co... more3D Touch is kinda like right-clicking on the mouse and getting extra options instead of just opening the app. Get it?
Just because apple had it first, it doesn't mean we should all give up on it.
If you people want Android OS to become better and better, you definitely need commands like these.
Personally I never use the fingerprint or the iris scanner on my S8 +.
Should the rest of the people stop using them because I don't??

1. Force touch Camera app button = burst mode (Useful for those hard to get a good shot times)
2. Force touch keyboard = Track pad mode. (Useful for text input, accurate compared to your hands to select the text)
3. Force touch left corner of any app = Task switcher. (Useful for those without haptic touch ID, like iPhone 6S / 5S So you do not harm the home buttons)

i am an android fan all the way, but tbh, this is indeed copying the worst of apple. i was with google for copying gesture navigation (which is still superb in ios compared to the android implementation, with exception of xiaomi devices) from ios, but 3d touch has been proven to be unnecessary. i bought an iphone 6s when 3d touch was introduced to iphones, but it was gimmicky and am i did not use it often at all. apple, as i have known, has scrapped further development of 3d touch because it clutters and makes the ui confusing. long press should suffice for most users as having different set of menu with variation of pressure would really be confusing and not intuitive.

Evie, 07 Apr 2019Cant you say android is implementing a better 3D touch syst... moreThis is if it is the biggest announcement Google like Apple going for features not functions
When there was four Operating Systems there was mire competition, eg Windows increased the time before a new logon attempt could be started after wrong password
Either Google Pixel or OnePlus (memory) is Implementing this with just logon phone or internal password is at least 5 years after Windows
Face unlock Imo is a way Apple justified in charging more for the handset fingerprints scanner was never an issue
These two biometric phone opening is just to save seconds opening your phone (purchases access to secure areas not the point I make now)
Homeland (Carrie Matheson) accessed unconscious person IPhone bringing phone to unconscious person
There is a two horse race Apple business rationale is different, Google creativeness is fast becoming gimmicky, Android Q offer so far is 3D touch wow
We have a situation where people queue for days before launch to get the latest iPhone
My response I can see why you would want to queue sales, concerts, look we have 50 million phones plus.... So
This is a binary competition where maximize cash seems to be the objective
Blackberry 10 OS defunct ( Blackberry World App market closes 12/31/2019) is a totally different beast to Android, Android needs monthly security updates, Blackberry 10 has only had 1 including software update 199 Mb
Android could be and should be a better OS if it looked to Blackberry to upgrade its security (the threats Android face are also those of Blackberry which hasn't had these updates)
Blackberry 10 OS or QNX is a software being developed for Autonomous or driverless cars.
Android Pie so underdeveloped as ti be similar to raw chicken.
5G is being tested in principal cities and all Android bring is 3D touch

Original-Jamaican, 07 Apr 2019Huawei came out with 3D Touch before anybody else. The Mate... moreThat what you think
The technology was first unveiled on September 9, 2014, during the introduction of Apple Watch. Starting with the Apple Watch, Force Touch has been incorporated into many products within Apple's lineup. This includes notable MacBooks and the Magic Trackpad 2. The technology is known as 3D Touch on the iPhone models.

Anonymous, 06 Apr 2019What a useless feature, unless mindlessly mimicking Apple i... moreI have a 3D Touch button on my S8+ and most of the time I use it to turn on my phone (if it's not covered with the case). I never use the fingerprint or the iris scanner.
It's actually quite handy because this way I don't press the power button too often, making it last longer.
To be honest I don't care who invented it, but I know I'm using it and I like it.

Android users blind hatred as usual. If you copy Apple, it does not mean you have to implement as how Apple does it!
Every tech depends on how you use it. Instead of dismissing it because Apple did it first, why not come up with ideas on how it can be put to good use? Thus making it innovative again?
Show the world Google can do it differently, instead of being backwards thinking.

I don't see what is better about this than the long touch that Android has had for years and years; since the beginning, maybe. I've tried force touch on the iPhone and I find it annoying. It does not work as intuitively and long touch.
