Samsung patent promises real-button feel on your Galaxy’s touchscreen!

Samsung Improved Haptic Feedback

Samsung is reportedly working on a new way to make your smartphone feel more interactive and responsive. A recent patent shows that Samsung is developing a system to improve haptic feedback.

The haptic feedback is the vibrations you feel when you touch your phone’s screen. The new patent, spotted by MSPowerUser, reveals a new technology that could make using your phone more immersive with improved haptic feedback, especially in everyday tasks and mobile gaming.

This new patent shows the plan to add multiple small vibration motors around the edges of the phone. These motors would work together with sensors that detect where and how hard you touch the screen.

When you touch the screen, the phone can send feedback directly to the area where your finger is. It gives you the sensation of pressing a real button, even on a phone with a large, smooth touchscreen.

This improved haptic feedback could make the smartphone feel more interactive and responsive. In everyday use, it could offer more accurate feedback when toggling settings, such as adjusting Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. It could also enhance the mobile gaming experience by providing rumble effects when firing a weapon.

Samsung has experimented with similar technology before. For example, the Galaxy S8 had a pressure-sensitive home button under the screen that allowed users to press firmly to go home, even when the phone was asleep.

Now, with this new patent, Samsung could take haptic feedback to the next level to offer a more detailed and responsive touch experience.

If Samsung brings this technology, it could set a new standard for haptic feedback on mobile devices by providing more r realistic and enjoyable interaction.

Galaxy S25 Ultra dummy reveals Samsung’s bold flagship redesign

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Dummy

Galaxy S25 Ultra dummy leak reveals the nearly final design of Samsung’s next big flagship. After CAD renders, we now have a closer look at the refined new design of the Ultra flagship, which will give sleepless nights to Apple.

Onleaks posted a set of Galaxy S25 Ultra dummy models. The flagship can be seen with its refined design, which makes the corner slightly rounded. The Z Fold6-inspired camera rings also elevate the rear panel’s appearance, making it appealing.

There are three major changes in the body design of Samsung’s next Ultra flagship. The first is the frame, which is getting flatter like the iPhone. Second is rounded corners, that are not that rounded like S24/S25, and third is textured camera rings.

Notably, the dummy units don’t show a close look at the bezels. However, this aspect is expected to be improved over the previous generations. Minimal symmetrical bezels will present an appealing look on the phone’s front side.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra is slimmer than the Galaxy S24 Ultra. The S Pen compartment resists on the frame’s bottom, accompanied by the primary microphone, USB C-Type port, speaker grille, and SIM card tray.

The right side of the frame features volume adjustment buttons and a side key. The power button can be configured to trigger a digital assistant. The fingerprint scanner will be featured as an in-screen solution with faster and more reliable recognition.

Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy S25 series in late January next year.

Samsung dreams new camera with longer battery, less noise

Published

Camera Sensor

A new patent suggests Samsung working on next-gen camera tech that could save battery and crush lens process noise. The company has recently unveiled the All Lenses on Prism telephoto solution for thinner and sleeker zoom cameras.

Since smartphone camera modules get more advanced, a lot of processing power is required to finish the tasks. That said, Samsung is crafting even more advanced camera modules that save battery and reduce noise.

Enter Samsung’s new patent, which introduces a power-saving sub-processor. This clever little chip would handle all the extra camera tasks—like reducing noise from the OIS lens movements and managing the EIS algorithms.

It will reduce the burden of the main processor so it can focus on the actual photo-taking. At the time your device is in a sleep or power-saving state, the sub-processor keeps running quietly in the background, consuming minimal power.

If the technology is used, you will have less noise in camera operations, smoother performance, and better battery life. At the same time, you won’t lose your favorite camera features, but your smartphone will last longer between charges.

A look ahead

The development shows Samsung’s innovative approach. Other than upgrading camera sensors, the company is also working on improvements to the technology that works behind the scenes and makes a great impact on performance and efficiency.

Samsung often registers new patent applications to secure designs and innovations. However, it’s uncertain that a patented technology would surely be commercialized. Tech firms have thousands of approved patents that never get produced.
