Synaptics has announced ClearForce technology, coming to devices in early 2016
Huawei already has a Force Touch-esque product in some markets, but Synaptics plans even bigger things.
Regardless of one’s feelings on Apple’s 3D/Force Touch, it has been presented as a new way of interacting with devices ranging from a computer to a smartphone to even a wrist-worn wearable. Huawei already took a similar solution to town with one of its devices, but now it seems Synaptics is about to give the pressure-sensitive medium an even bigger boost: ClearForce technology.
According to the company, ClearForce “enables OEMs to differentiate smartphones by providing customers with new dimensions in user interfaces such as speed scrolling, zoom, gaming, and text or photo editing by applying variable force with a finger or stylus.” The press release then goes on to mention that “Synaptics has been working closely with leading global OEMs and LCMs to deliver this new dimension in touch with force-enabled smartphones expected to ship in early 2016.”
“With a rich history in force technology dating back to 1996, including over 60 granted and pending patents worldwide, Synaptics’ third-generation force-sensing solution, ClearForce, enables global OEMs and LCMs to differentiate smartphones — with tablet, wearables, and automotive manufacturers to follow. Variable force creates numerous opportunities to invent new user interface capabilities and increases productivity for touchscreen applications.”
Force Touch as it appears on the Apple Watch. Will Synaptics’ solution offer a superior level of input?
The press release then goes on to list the specific implications of the soon-to-be-sold solution:
- Variable speed scrolling
- Picture zoom and panning
- Function preview and selection
- Continuously variable gaming control functions
- Unlock and wake up
- Right-side mouse click behavior (open contextual menus)
- Line thickness control while drawing (e.g., when writing Chinese characters and creating artwork)
- Image editing (brightness, contrast, saturation)
- Upper case and symbol selection (to bypass keyboard mode changes)
The possible uses of ClearForce are quite varied to say the least, and it will be of particular interest to see how Android OEMs and software developers take advantage of the enhanced usability it provides. Of course, one of the big questions that remains to be answered is just what toll – if any – this new feature will take on the devices using it. Apple’s iPhone 6S has become ever-so-slightly more bulky as a result of the added components needed to imbue its phones with the Force.
What’s your take on this? Are you excited by ClearForce and the potential it may unlock, or are you decidedly against the newfangled “push to touch” technology?
Honor 7 to launch in India on October 15th for Rs. 22,999
Follow its successful launch in China and Europe, the Honor 7 is now heading to India with a not unreasonable Rs. 22,999 price tag. However, only the 16GB storage option will be available, the 32GB and 64GB models apparently won’t launch in the country.
The Honor 7 bridges the gap between mid and high-end handsets. It features a 5.2-inch 1080p display, Kirin 935 octa-core processor (with eight Corex-A53 cores), 3GB of RAM, LTE support and a microSD slot for an extra 128GB of storage to build on the rather limited 16GB of internal memory.

For the third year running, Apple has topped the list and Google has come second, with both companies leading the list for the third year in a row. Apple is valued at $170 billion while Google is valued at $120 billion and the consultancy derives its valuation from a company’s financials, ability to influence purchase decisions and the extend that it can support premium pricing (which explains why Apple has topped the list).
Microsoft and IBM swapped places, with the Redmond-based Windows-maker valued at $68 billion in fourth place. Korean giant Samsung stayed in seventh place with a valuation of $45 billion while Amazon (who is technically classified as a retailer), is up 29 percent to $38 billion in tenth place. Other brands in the top ten include Coca-Cola, General Electric and McDonald’s.
Elsewhere on the list outside the top 10:
- Intel rank in 14th with a 4 percent increase to $35 billion
- HP dropped 3 percent to $23 billion in 18th place
- Social giant Facebook rose 54 percent to a valuation of $22 billion in 23rd place
- Camera giant Canon dropped 4 percent to $11 billion in 40th place
- Siemens ranked 53rd ($8.5 billion)
- Sony dropped 5 percent to a valuation of $8 billion in 58th place
- Panasonic rose 2 percent to $6.4 billion in 65th place
- Huawei rose a whopping 15% percent to $5 billion in 88th place
This year’s edition also saw PayPal and Lenovo enter the list at 97th and 100th place with valuations of $4.25 billion and $4.11 billion but the list isn’t great for everyone; as might be expected, troubled Finnish company Nokia joined troubled gamer Nintendo in dropping out of the list.
What do you think of the companies on (and off) the list? Let us know your views in the comments below guys!
What could have improved the Nexus 6P?
This year’s Nexus 6P is a whole new ballgame for the Nexus line. Last year’s Nexus 6, which was made by Motorola, had a large bulky body that felt massive in the hand for many. The Nexus 6P changes that by featuring a slightly smaller display and a better screen-to-body ratio. It actually feels compact in the hand. And perhaps more importantly, the device comes with specifications that best or match other flagships while being packed within an all-metal design.
The Nexus 6P runs Google’s newest version of Android — Android 6.0 Marshmallow — right out of the box. It has an improved 12.3MP camera, a 5.7-inch Quad HD (2560×1440) AMOLED display, a snappy Snapdragon 810 v2.1 processor, and a slew of new software tricks. The Nexus 6P is a worthy update over its predecessor, and brings a whole new sense of hardware to the market. But, as always, a phone can never be perfect and really depends on one’s personal preferences. So here are six features that Google and Huawei left out of the Nexus 6P.
A non-protruding camera
The Nexus 6P features an all-metal unibody design that’s nice excluding one part. On the rear of the device lies a black strip covered in Gorilla Glass containing various sensors as well as a protruding camera. Although great that Google included all these various types of sensors, the company apparently had no other place to put them but along the top rear side of the device. Along the black strip, you’ll see the camera lens, dual-LED tone flash and laser auto-focus sensor. The strip is also reported to include a number of other sensors. Other than the top bar which can’t be covered with a case, the design is pretty elegant and attractive. Let’s hope next time Google finds how to integrate these various sensors without having to create a large hump at the back.
Additional color options
Moto Maker allows buyers to customize their Motorola device with different designs by changing colors, materials, and textures. So why can’t Google do this? Currently for the Nexus 6P, there only three color options — Graphite, Frost and Aluminum. In Japan, buyers will get an additional gold color option. Hopefully further down the road we’ll see Google do something along the lines of Motorola and create a bevy of design choices.
Dual-SIM card compatibility
The ability to use two SIM cards in a single device is becoming more common among recent handsets. Unfortunately, for the Nexus 6P, Google decided one was enough. This has been a welcoming feature among some new devices and would have been a real treat if Google decided to provide us with it. But for now, if you have a work phone and a personal cell and want to the Nexus 6P, you’ll have to deal with carrying two phones around.
More RAM
The Nexus 6P includes 3GB of RAM; however, extra RAM is always convenient. Soon 4GB of RAM will become the norm for Android flagships. I have a feeling that many upgrading early next year may discredit the Nexus 6P for having only 3GB. Luckily, with Marshmallow, Google has implemented improvements regarding RAM management and we hope this makes a noticeable difference.
Water and dust resistance
Google has been silent when it comes to IP ratings. I’m sure more users would jump on the Nexus train if they found out the devices had included water and dust resistance. While this is yet to become mainstream with Android flagships, many are trying it out with separate rugged variants so why not give it a try?
Built-in IR blaster
Built-in IR blasters aren’t getting as much attention as they used to, but it would still be a nice addition to the Nexus lineup. With a built-in IR blaster, users can control their televisions or other equipment with their smartphone. We haven’t seen this features appear on a Nexus device yet, but heck, you never know when Google may include it.
Closing
Overall, the Nexus 6P is a great flagship for anyone looking to get a clean and simplified experience. The Nexus 6P doesn’t go overboard and focuses more on perfecting what matters. Although the features mentioned above may have been great additions, it’s the lack of them that makes the Nexus series what it is. Any of them being added to the Nexus 6P would have likely raised its starting price of $499.

Android Authority this week – October 4, 2015
Android fans, this week brought us a ton of exciting stuff, starting of course with the new Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P. The general impression is great, but the new Nexuses are not without controversy. Moving on, Google also brought us the intriguing Pixel C, a revamped Chromecast, and the Chromecast Audio. In non-Google news, we went hands-on with the futuristic Wove band; HTC introduced a refreshed One M9+ and announced the launch event for the Aero; and LG introduced the durable V10 and LTE-enabled Watch Urbane 2nd edition.
Inside AA HQ
Nexus, Nexus, Nexus! We’re all true Android fans, but what’s the role of Nexus phones, besides fan service? There are a lot of theories. From taking Google’s words at face value (“a phone for developers,” “pushing the ecosystem forward”) to the more outlandish ideas (“Nexus phones are just ads”), people don’t seem to agree what the Nexus program’s role is today. That said, Nexus devices are, without doubt, important for the Android community, and that is why they hold a special place in our coverage. Check out Josh’s excellent hands-on and comparisons starring the Nexus 5X and 6P (and the Pixel C) and let us know what you think.
With the Nexus event over, it looks like the biggest releases of the year are behind us. HTC is still trying to save a bad year with the Aero, coming October 20. But as far as big phones come, we’re pretty much done. Keep an eye for our updated best smartphones ranking.

ZTE Executive: Huawei’s Nexus 6P is a copycat of the ZTE Grand S
There’s been some differing opinions on whether to love or hate that black camera visor on the back of the Huawei Nexus 6P. Chinese manufacture ZTE seems to be of the crowd that dislikes it, and for what might be a good reason, too. ZTE marketing director Lu Qian Hao took to Chinese social media website Weibo, saying that the Huawei Nexus 6P takes some design hints from the ZTE Athena, otherwise known as the Grand S.
Looking at the two devices (ZTE Grand S pictured below), you can definitely see that Huawei might’ve taken some design hints from the device. And while we don’t support copying someone else’s work, there’s really only so much you can do with a rectangular device to make it unique. After all, just look at the flip phone market. Almost everything is identical in some way.
Then again, ZTE might be right. Huawei has a history of taking design hints from other popular devices in the market, such as the Mate S and the HTC One or iPhone 6S.
ZTE Athena’s resemblance to the Nexus 6P.
Keep in mind that there’s always been a feud between ZTE and Huawei. After all, they’re both heavy competitors as far as smartphones and other fields go. The ZTE Grand S was an impressive phone two years ago, and still isn’t a bad device, but probably isn’t worth a big fight.
What’re your thoughts?

ZTE accuses Huawei’s Nexus 6P of ripping off its Athena phone
The latest batch of Nexus smartphones are certainly look quite a bit different to last year’s model. But they’re apparently not unique enough for ZTE, which has accused Huawei of copying the design of its Athena handset when it came up with the Nexus 6P.
Taking to the Chinese social network Weibo, ZTE’s marketing director Lu Qian Hao suggests that the Nexus P6 pays a heavy tribute to the ‘elegant’ and ‘stunning’ ZTE Athena, also known as the Grand S. The message was directed at Huawei’s Yu Chengdong.
I don’t think Google translate is working too well though, as there’s also something about Huawei having a sex change operation thrown in there too? Either way, he doesn’t seem to have taken the 6P’s launch too well.
Comparing the two side by side, there is certainly a similarity between the ZTE Athena and the Nexus 6P when you look at the black bar across the back. Then again, the Athena is a design from back in early 2013 and ZTE hasn’t seemed too bothered about reviving the look for any of its recent models. The Nokia 808 PureView also springs to mind.
Huawei and ZTE have a long running rivalry. The two Chinese companies compete not only in the smartphone market but also in the international telecommunication equipment field too. However, this wouldn’t be the first time that Huawei has been accused of “paying tribute” to other smartphone designs with its products, so perhaps ZTE has a point?
What do you think about the resemblance?
Huawei starts rolling out Lollipop update for the Ascend Mate7
Huawei has begun rolling out the long-awaited Lollipop update to all unlocked International variants of the Ascend Mate7. In terms of added functionality, this upgrade brings the latest version of the open-source operating system to the handset, in addition to the refreshed EMUI 3.1 user interface.
Hit the break for the full changelog.
- Material Design: You will quickly notice a whole new colorful look and feel to your device – from fluid animations to new application and system themes, colors and widgets.
- Notifications UI & Priorities: In order to alert you to the mosttimely and relevant information, the format and behavior of notifications have evolved:
- notifications will appear on the lock screen and are intelligently ranked by type and who sent them.
- you double-tap to open one, swipe left or right to clear one, or clear all notifications from the bottom of the list.
- you can set the priority and privacy of notifications for each application.
- very high priority notifications will pop up briefly over other applications so that you can take action.
- when you dismiss a notification on one device it will be dismissed on your other Android devices, if they are connected to the Internet.
- you can further tailor how notifications behave with the new Downtime and Ambient Display settings (see below).
- New Interruptions & Downtime Settings: You can tailor how interruptions behave, choosing to allow all, none, or only priority interruptions. You can personalize what counts as a priority interruption (reminders, events, calls, messages) and even tailor them to be from only contacts you specify. The Downtime setting will allow only priority interruptions during the times and days that you specify. e.g. allow only priority interruptions on the weekend.
- Recent Apps (Multi-tasking): The redesigned Overview space (formerly called Recents) will include both applications and separate activities within those applications. For instance, each open tab in Chrome will also appear here along with recent applications; both your Gmail Inbox and a draft email message will appear as separate cards. This provides a consistent way to switch amongst tasks.
- Flashlight: Lollipop includes a new flashlight option as part of Quick settings (swipe down with two fingers from the status bar to see it).
- Pin a view/app: Screen pinning allows you to keep a specific app or screen in view. For example, you can ‘pin’ a game and your child will not be able to navigate anywhere else on your phone.
- Battery: The Battery settings panel now shows an estimated projection for how much time you have left while discharging or charging. You can also enable a new battery saver mode that will save power by reducing performance and most background data operations to extend your battery life.
- Smarter Internet Connections: With Android Lollipop, your phone will not connect to a Wi-Fi access point unless there is a verified Internet connection. This feature improves hand-offs between Wi-Fi and cellular connections, helping to maintain your video chat or voice-over-IP (VoIP) call as you switch.
- Performance: Your phone now uses the new Android Runtime to help optimize application performance. After upgrading to Lollipop, your applications will undergo a one-time optimization process. Note that the optimization for ART requires more space.
- Security: Encryption can now use a stronger 256-bit key to help protect your data. Note that the stronger key willonly be used after you perform a factory reset on Android Lollipop. Otherwise encryption will continue to use 128-bit key. You can turn on encryption in the Security settings menu.
As is the norm, the update is being pushed out in stages. To see if it’s ready for your device head into Settings, scroll to the bottom and tap on “About Device”, hit “System Updates”, then select “Check for updates”.
