TL;DR
- Google would possibly let Pixel Fold customers hold utilizing an app on the quilt display that was working on the folding show.
- The corporate would possibly borrow OnePlus’s swipe-up gesture to provoke this function.
The Google Pixel Fold is a step behind the finest foldable telephones with regards to making probably the most out of the 2 screens. Now, it appears to be like like Google may borrow a key function from OnePlus for the Pixel Fold line.
Android Police found proof that Google may supply a swipe as much as proceed” function in a future model of Android.
“Fold your cellphone and swipe up on the entrance show to proceed utilizing the app, or wait a couple of seconds for the display to lock,” reads an excerpt of 1 string reportedly discovered within the Android 14 QPR 3 beta.
This sounds equivalent to a function discovered on the OnePlus Open and OPPO Discover N3. OnePlus and OPPO allow you to shut the cellphone and swipe up on the quilt show to maintain utilizing the app you had been utilizing on the folding display.
An overdue function for Google’s foldable
This is able to be a useful addition to the Pixel Fold line, as Google doesn’t allow you to proceed utilizing an app on the quilt display that you just had been simply utilizing on the folding show.
Android Police beforehand reported that Google was additionally engaged on an identical continuity function in Android 14 QPR1. This function would’ve allowed customers to set whether or not the cellphone would at all times proceed utilizing an app on the quilt show, solely permit video games and movies to proceed on the quilt show, or by no means let apps proceed working on the quilt display. However the firm apparently ditched this function in subsequent releases.
We however hope the Pixel maker doesn’t cease right here. Google doesn’t supply per-display customization both, not like Samsung. So that you’re compelled to have the identical residence display structure on each screens. It might due to this fact be nice if the corporate took a web page from Samsung’s guide on this regard.
