Google is about so as to add true desktop OS capabilities to Android, and the proof is in Android 16.
Android Authority was capable of finding exterior monitor instruments within the subsequent OS, at the moment in beta testing, that time to Google’s intentions. At present, for those who join an Android cellphone by way of USB to an exterior monitor, it defaults into display screen mirroring.
Nonetheless, hidden in developer choices, is a option to lengthen the smartphone’s show to the exterior monitor. The answer is barebones in the meanwhile – the mouse is fastened to at least one display screen and might’t transfer between screens, and it’s good to reconnect to toggle between mirroring and lengthening.
However it appears Google has hidden options in place to allow the mouse cursor to maneuver between screens. Sooner or later, customers can have entry to instruments very similar to these on Home windows PCs – you may change the place of the exterior show, change the scaling (measurement of textual content and icons) individually on the exterior show.
It is a sign that Google will goal to show Android right into a fully-fledged desktop OS when wanted, and that it might even mould Chrome OS into Android.
