Android Q will come with native support for 3D Touch-like feature called "deep press"
According to Android Q documentation, the next big Android OS will natively support a feature called "deep press" or also known as Force Touch or 3D Touch in iOS language.
By the looks of it, it will be exactly what it sounds - an enhanced functionality tied with a pressure-sensitive screen. So far there have been a couple of custom implementations of the feature, but Android Q will bring native support for it.
It's still unknown how it will work and how it will be implemented in this year's Android iteration. We don't even know if additional hardware will be required under the screen for sensing the pressure or it's entirely software-based.
