Has Huawei jumped the gun on Apple as far as the Force Touch display is concerned? Well, perhaps, but it may take some more time before folks can get their hands on it.
Such seems to be the case after Huawei lifted the covers of its latest flagship smartphone recently at the IFA 2015 in Berlin.
The Huawei Mate S made quite an impression, a new high-end midrange phone that could give the yet-to-be unveiled iPhone 6S a serious run for its money.
The device comes in a pretty sleek design and offers striking features led by a 5.5-inch ultra HD display that boasts of 401 pixels-per-inch (ppi) and Gorilla Glass 4. As many phones that have embraced curved display technology to date, the Huawei Mate S comes with one as well.
Aside from that, Huawei's Mate S looks fairly close to the iPhone 6S. It comes with Force Touch technology as well but it seems that this familiar feature is only the tip of the iceberg.
The device also comes with other features such as the Knuckle Sense technology, something that could help users interface with their knuckles rather than just their fingers.
Aside from those new technologies, the Huawei Mate S also showed off its new cameras during the event. It comes with a 13-megapixel main camera that comes with a RGBW sensor, optical image stabilization, and an independent signal processor unit.
Up front, an 8-megapixel camera is present and is aided by soft light, which should give selfie-loving picture takers pretty much something to look forward to.
Huawei will reportedly launch the Mate S by Sept. 15 in Western European regions with prices starting at £476 for the 32 GB internal storage version. A 64 GB internal storage variant will cost a bit more at £513.
But for folks who are looking forward to using the Force Touch technology, the two previously mentioned variants will reportedly not come with it just yet.
Apparently, such is being saved for the 128 GB variant, which will follow at a later time. Could storage issues be the reason behind it? Check out the video below.
