The reported 1080p 5.7in screen will apparently feature the ability to bring up extra options depending on how hard you press on it, in a similar way to the MacBook’s trackpad, or Apple Watch’s display.
Huawei’s teaser slogan for the event on 2 September in Berlin is “Touch. Made. Powerful”, which adds credibility to the rumours for obvious reasons, and if the rumours are true, the company will beat the iPhone 6s and its Force Touch display by a week.
Specs-wise, the Mate S is rumoured to pack in Huawei’s own Kirin 935 processor, along with 3GB of RAM, a 20MP camera and a rear fingerprint scanner.
