The iPhone 14 Pro unveiled recently at Apple’s Far Out event in Cupertino, California, is touted as the company’s most jam-packed iPhone in terms of features.
From a redesigned notch area called ‘Dynamic Island’, always-on display to a new 48-megapixel wide-angle camera, the iPhone 14 Pro feels like a tour-de-force in the high-end smartphone market.
However, there are a number of features in the iPhone 14 Pro that many Android smartphones have had for years. Here you will get to know about that features.
The iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max models will include an always-on display, providing information including time and widgets without having to wake the phone.
This always on display feature debuted on Android smartphones with Samsung’s Galaxy S7 in 2016. In fact, the first phone with Always-on-display was the Nokia 6303 in 2008.
The real improvement on the iPhone 14 Pro isn’t just a 48-megapixel camera, but also that the front-facing selfie camera now has autofocus for the first time.
Samsung’s smartphones have had selfie autofocus cameras for years. Google added front-facing selfie autofocus to the Pixel 3 XL in 2018 but has since dropped this feature on newer phones.
The iPhone 14 Pro has a new Action mode, letting users capture smooth video that will automatically adjust to shakes, motion and vibrations without needing a gimbal.
Vivo added a mechanical gimbal system for its primary 48MP rear camera on the X50 Pro in 2020. Recently, Asus introduced the gimbal camera system in the Zenfone 9.
One of the major themes at Apple’s Far out event was how Apple devices can save lives in emergency situations by built-in emergency satellite connectivity and the car crash detection feature.
But not many know that Google was the first to roll out the car crash feature on select Pixel smartphones a few years ago. Which is available within the “safety” app on every Pixel device since the Pixel 3.
