Google is apparently working on an adaptive touch feature for its Pixel phones, with hints of this functionality appearing in the Android 14 QPR3 Beta 1 last month.
The revolutionary function allows the screen to automatically alter its touch sensitivity in response to both environmental conditions and user activity. According to recent sources, the adaptive touch mode will debut in Google’s future flagship models, the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro.
According to Android Authority, the new Android 14 QPR3 Beta 2 update has code that directly links the adaptive touch feature to the 2024 Pixel series, designating it as a “P24” feature.
Following Google’s previous naming patterns, the abbreviation “P2X” often refers to Pixel phones for a specific year.This leads to the anticipation that adaptive touch technology will be available on the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro smartphones in 2024.
The adaptive touch functionality was first discovered in the Android 14 QPR3 Beta 1 release, with the ability to automatically adjust the screen’s touch sensitivity based on a variety of factors, including environmental conditions (rain or cold), the presence of a screen protector, and activities such as swimming.
