Not so long ago, the touchscreen phone was a curiosity and the lot of only a select few. Now on the shelves of stores there is a wide range of phones and communicators with a touch screen. Therefore, before buying, you need to figure out which touchscreen phone is better.
Types of touch displays
Phones and communicators currently use 2 main types of touch screens: resistive and projection-capacitive, and the last ones have become much more common over the past 2 years. In both cases, a special electrically conductive material is used for touch recognition, which closes at the moment the finger touches the substrate that protects this material.
However, in projection-capacitive screens, transparent electrons protected by glass play the role of a conducting layer. In this case, it plays the role of a dielectric, thanks to which this type of touchscreen displays well distinguishes the places of contact of the fingers with the screen. If the buyer is faced with the task of saving on the quality of the touch screen, then the resistive type is suitable for it. It is used in the production of budget models of communicators such as ZTE, Huawei and Highscreen.
The first touchscreen smartphone was announced by Nokia back in 2001, but the company did not launch it on the market because of the desire to stir up interest in its revolutionary new product. It was never released.
Ease of use
Various types of matrices are used to display the image on the screen display. At the moment there are phones on the market with two types of matrices: TFT and IPS. The first type is more faded, it fades in the sun, but its wear resistance is much higher than that of IPS. In the case of this type, there is a bright, juicy display that does not fade in the sun and has a richer color reproduction. But smartphones and phones with this type of screen are not an example more expensive than gadgets with a TFT matrix.
The technology of IPS matrices does not stand still, the price of touchscreen phones with the use of such screens has dropped significantly lately. Therefore, it will not be difficult for a consumer to choose a phone with a clearer and more vivid image. The best price-quality ratio for this parameter is distinguished by Lenovo communicators.
Touchscreen options
In order to make touchscreen displays more convenient and practical in use, additional options have been developed for them. The first is Multi-Touch technology. With the help of it, any of the above types of screens can perceive up to five simultaneous clicks, which will be perceived by the device. The second quality addition to the touchscreen is Gorilla Glass, which protects it from bumps, scratches, moisture, etc.
In addition to the described capabilities, a light sensor can be attached to the touch screen, which is able to decrease or increase the brightness in automatic mode. This is extremely convenient for saving device battery. The presence of all these technical solutions will make the phone expensive, but convenient to use. There are many models of smartphones on the market in one configuration or another that can satisfy any user.
When choosing between a touchscreen phone and a communicator, one must understand that the communicator is more adapted to changing its functions for a specific user.
Selecting a brand of touchscreen phone
Many manufacturers are now making touchscreen phones. Leading positions are occupied by brands such as Samsung, Apple, HTC, Huawei, Sony. All smartphones and phones of these brands are of good quality and use of advanced technical solutions in their production. An expensive touchscreen phone will delight the eye with its quality and display. Therefore, you should not skimp on the quality of the screen, since the health of the user's eyes depends on it.
