Google is preparing new devices. It is still determined to try to unseat brands such as Samsung or Motorola, which are leaders in Android devices, but which generally embed a layer of "personalization" in the device that ends up penalizing the performance of an operating system in which Google works a lot. In this way, the devices formerly known as "Nexus" now become "Pixel Phones". During the event that they have announced on October 4, we will have the pleasure of witnessing the launch of the devices, however, The leaks show an immense resemblance between the shortcuts of the Launcher of the Pixel Phone and Apple's 3D Touch.
The similarity is undeniable when we see these screenshots of the Pixel devices. However, it is not strange that both companies feed on ideas through the others, the reality is that it is a way of progressing, and it should not be taken as plagiarism or an offense, they do not do it between them. they take as a compliment, a reward for a job well done is that the competition has decided to adapt its own version of the system to satisfy its users, admitting that this function is necessary and innovative.
The difference is that the Pixel devices will not have hardware sensitive to the pressure of the screen, so it will not be necessary to press as they do on the iPhone, but most likely it will be done by a long touch or two touches on the same icon. The 3D Touch function was envisioned as the next standardization from AppleAs happened with Touch ID, however, it seems that most companies are dispensing with this hardware, or simply have not been able to implement it without the cost of the device increasing too much.
