All leading mobile manufacturers are trying to offer phones with the latest built-in touch technology in addition to some other bells and whistles in order to have their phones be labeled as a “world class phone”. Mobile phones consist of two types of Touch screen either Resistive or Capacitive. A resistive touch screen generally consists of two sheets of resistive materials separated by a narrow gap. When you press the screen with a finger or stylus, the sheet comes into contact and the location of the touch will be identified and registered. While a capacitive touch screen acts like a capacitor and reacts only when there are changes in the electrical field. Only a gentle tap with the finger changes the field of current. The capacitive screen does not work if you tap the screen with a glove or using a stylus. So this little difference in operation, can yield a great deal of performance and personal customization, based on the specific needs.
