Resistive touchscreen : It consists of two layers that form an overlay on the screen. When the finger is placed at any point on the screen, the two forms receive contact and coordination. These are relatively inexpensive and are found right on most budget phones. The downside is that a certain amount of pressure is required to enter the touch. As time passes, there is some degree of damage to the screen.
Capacitive touchscreen : The entire screen is coated with a capacitive material that carries a certain amount of electric charge. When an operating object is placed on the screen like a finger, the capacitance changes at that point, and thus the coordinates are obtained.
