Do you know that you can add iPhone's Dynamic Island to your Android smartphone? Yes, and it can be done within a few minutes without much stress!
This month, Apple introduced the iPhone 14 series with much fanfare. The smartphones come with new features such as car-crash detection, a photo processing method called Photonic Engine, and others. However, the Dynamic Island design is a standout feature that instantly grabs your attention when you pick up an iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max.
What does the iPhone's Dynamic Island do?
Dynamic Island replaces the notch used on previous models of the iPhone. Other than housing the TrueDepth camera unit for Face ID, selfies, and video calls, the small pill-shaped screen cutout also changes its size to accommodate various types of alerts and notifications. Though a bit strange looking, the feature looks very cool.
Realme is already asking users if they want the Dynamic Island feature on their Android phone which might come in some form of software update or new phone release. However, there is a way to get this new feature on your Android phone without your device manufacturer implementing it.
