Huawei trolls Apple, weighs an orange to show off the pressure-sensing display on the Mate S
Well aware of the fact that launching a phone with a Force Touch-like technology will instantly draw a comparison with Apple, Huawei used its IFA 2015 press event to troll Apple a little. To demonstrate that the display of the Mate S can recognize various pressure levels, Huawei weighed an orange on stage. The audience instantly recognized the pun - save for weighing an apple, the joke couldn't have been any clearer - and cheered in appreciation.
Now, back to the actual orange-weighing process, we have some doubts regarding the accuracy of the Huawei Mate S as a scale. The system said that the orange weighed about 280 grams, which seems a bit on the heavy side for a regular-sized orange. It will be interesting to learn if the Huawei Mate S can actually act as a trustworthy scale in the kitchen. As it turns, out we'll actually get to test-drive the feature. The scale app, and Huawei's S Knuckle feature are two of the company's advertised implementation of the pressure-sensing display tech.
Would you guys be interested in a smartphone that can accurately double up as a weighing scale?
