Android Q will bring a host of significant new features to the mobile operating system later this year, from a system-wide dark mode to 3D Touch-like pressure-based input. But Google might also be looking to change up some of the fundamental elements of Android, as the latest discovery from XDA Developers appears to suggest.
This week, one of XDA’s senior members spotted a new gesture experiment contained within Android Q. The gesture seems to give Android users the ability to go back by swiping on either the left or right side of the screen. The gesture has yet to be fully implemented, but, as Apple has proven with the iPhone X/XS, it is indeed possible to replace most physical and digital buttons with gesture controls. Google is at least considering following suit.
