Android phones could soon get a feature that has been a favorite on iPhones for some time now. If you have seen the standby mode on iOS, you know what it looks like: when the phone takes care of and placed laterally, it turns into a mini smart screen. You get a large clock, photo slideshow, widgets or even live updates, all on your screen. NOW, Google seems to work on something similar for Android.The first index came from a recent update from Google Play Services. In version 25.18, Google added a line to the code on a new feature that allows users to “use user -friendly devices”. What was notable about this is that it was specifically marked for phones. This suggests that Google plans to operate more phones as smart screens when they are inactive and loaded.
Right away, Android phones Impossible to act as receptors sunk like certain tablets and intelligent screens can. But the only real things that stop these are the limits of the software, not the hardware. However, it could change soon.

There is also a change in load technology that could make it all possible. The Qi2 wireless load begins to deploy, and it includes magnetic alignment, similar to Apple Magsafe. This facilitates the load of phones in landscape mode, which is the key to all kinds of intelligent display experience.
However, even more evidence came from a more in -depth examination Android 16code. There is a new “jump-in” button in the Power menu, and it seems to launch the screen saver and locking screen widgets at the same time. Which connects everything together.
Nothing is yet official, but all the signs suggest that Android is on the right track to obtain its own version of the standby mode. Between new load standards and updating Android updates, your phone could soon double as a smart display while it loads. It is definitely an exciting development which, I hope, will arrive as soon as possible. I can certainly see myself put my pixel in standby mode while working or sleeping.
