What is Haptics? In my understanding (correct me if I’m wrong) Haptics is kind of technology that sends signal to the users to let them know that something has been done on their mobile devices. For example, when they push the numbers on their smartphone dial pad, the phone reacts by vibrating. If you’re a gamer, you may find this as a common experience. Think about the rumble effect in your console game controller, that’s haptics. And Pantech Element tablet utilizes HD Haptics to deliver all of the advantages.
