Haptic feedback technology uses finely tuned vibrations to simulate the sensation of movement. Samsung is among the leading manufacturers incorporating haptic feedback into cellphones. This Samsung/Armani model uses haptic feedback to make the touchscreen more tactile—for example, simulating the reactive sensations of a real keypad when dialing numbers. This technology is not available on the iPhone, though Apple is reportedly planning to integrate it.
