What is the Difference between Capacitive Touch screen & Resistive Touch Screen?

Yes, Capacitive screens are generally better than Resistive touchscreens, since they detect a touch by conducting electricity as soon as your skin comes in contact with the Screen. This way you don't have to press the Screen hard. Whereas in a Resistive Touchscreen, you'll have to press the screen a bit in order for 2 plates to connect and detect what point has been pressed. There are special styluses for Capacitive screens, whereas you can use anything on Resistive screen. You can differentiate between the 2 since a capacitive screen is very sensitive to the touch. There are a huge number of Phones to list, you could probably search around and will definitely find a lot of them. If you have a Touchscreen phone, and would like to find out which one of the 2 technologies it has, do this: 1. Try to type Text by very gently tapping on the Screen with your Finger. 2. Take a Pen, or a Pencil and use the opposite end (not the Nib) and move it over the Screen. If (1) gets a response and (2) doesn't, then you have a Capacitive screen. If (2) works, then you have a Resistive touchscreen.

I think the other user really explained it, as the only thing I know about them is that the capacitive screen, doesn't need to be pressed on all that hard, where the resistive one does. My last phone I used, had a resistive screen, and it seemed like I really had to push hard, way to hard. It had a stylus for it, but even with that, it just didn't respond like it should have. With my capacitive, I end up pushing on things that I didn't expect to, since it is really sensitive to the touch. I like the capacitive screen much better. I would recommend the capacitive screen over the resistive screen. Take care, and happy mylotting.
