Google Pixel 9 May Revolutionize Touchscreen Experience with New “Adaptive Touch” Feature

Google is working on exciting new technology that could change how we interact with our Pixel phones. The rumored “Adaptive Touch” feature promises to make your Pixel 9’s touchscreen smarter than ever.

What is Adaptive Touch?

Imagine your Pixel phone automatically adjusting its touch sensitivity based on what you’re doing and the conditions around you. That’s the idea behind Adaptive Touch. Whether it’s raining, you’re wearing gloves, or you have a screen protector on – your Pixel 9 should “feel” just right to use.

A Step Beyond Screen Protector Detection

Google already made Pixel touchscreens better with a screen protector detector in the Pixel 8. Adaptive Touch takes this further by fine-tuning the touch experience in many different scenarios.

When Will Adaptive Touch Arrive?

While not officially confirmed, code leaks strongly suggest Adaptive Touch will debut in the Google Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro. We’ll likely see it arrive later in 2024. It’s unclear if older Pixels might gain this feature via a later update.
