Pixel 9 May Gain 'Adaptive Touch' for Improved Wet and Screen Protector Use
• The Pixel 9 may add an "Adaptive Touch" feature that automatically adjusts touch sensitivity based on environmental factors like wet fingers or screen protectors.
• Code suggests Adaptive Touch will adjust sensitivity when wetness is detected, similar to the OnePlus 12's Aqua Touch feature for using the phone in rain.
• It may also automatically tweak sensitivity when a screen protector is detected through Google's screen protector detection service.
• Code links Adaptive Touch specifically to Google's 2024 Pixel flagship lineup, referred to internally as "P24".
• It's unclear if Adaptive Touch will remain a Pixel 9 exclusive feature or come to older Pixels eventually.
