Google last night made a very important announcement for the future of the Android operating system, the American company telling users and developers that foldable phones will be part of its existence. More precisely, the Google company announced that it will implement support for foldable phones in the Android operating system, and in the image below you can see how the Americans thought of the interface that will be used in these future interesting products.
Google worked with Samsung for the new Samsung INFINITY Flex, and created a special Android interface for this phone, but it will also be available for foldable phones from other manufacturers. We already know that Huawei, LG, and other Asian companies intend to launch foldable phones that will run Android, and those from Google are preparing their operating system to provide support for all these smartphones like we have never had before.
Google. MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT for the Future of Android
Google implements support for foldable phones in Android, mainly through an API called screen continuity, existing for some time in the operating system, and detecting changes in the size of phone screens. You can see in the animated image above how the folding android phones will work, Samsung INFINITY FLEX showing us in the real world the changes that Google has prepared for us.
Google is also simplifying the implementation of support for foldable phones in Android applications, since developers will only have to ensure that they have correctly implemented this API for their creations. This means that the first Android applications that will have support for foldable phones will not require important changes compared to the standard ones, and this is very good news, because the first customers will be able to quickly enjoy the desired functionality.
Google will continue to improve Android over time, but it remains to be seen what interesting news it will offer.
