There’s excitement among foldable Pixel phone owners: Accordingly, the second developer preview of Android 15 includes a convertible leg that makes the foldable character more prominent. Imagine you’re reading an article on the Pixel Fold, marveling at its daring internal display. Now, you can imagine that when you turn off the phone, the screen shrinks down with a beautiful picture on the external reflective display, and the next page can appear upon swipe up.
This provision, known as “Swipe up to keep apps in use,” gives you the ability to take command of how the Pixel Fold’s external and internal screens transform into their own. Eventually, the app will become part of your daily routine – ‘just a swipe’ and it’s back to the game! Of course, the power-saving potential of this method is interesting, as it could be a useful feature for some tasks that don’t require a large internal screen.
Although a mild change, it’s a thoughtful touch for users of foldable phones. Google’s working points are clear as it wants customers to have a quick, friendly, and hassle-free experience as it aims for its new segment of customers. There are many similarities with other foldable devices such as the OnePlus Open, Oppo devices, etc., but only Google’s implementation offers users a viable option when it comes to controlling its swipe motions.
Even though it is not time to release Android 15 at present, the anticipated Pixel Fold is useful for users. Meanwhile, the Pixel Fold 2 may be on the horizon, it would be great when this functionality gets smarter and becomes the basis of the new foldable phone generation.
