Google Pixel 8 series has unique feature
However, the team of developers at Google thought of a feature that not everyone knows about and that was specifically designed to improve the experience of those who decide to apply a protective film to their smartphone’s screen: we are talking about a screen protector mode.
This has the special purpose of increasing touch sensitivity, thus improving tactile input when using a screen protector. And since not all users are aware of this feature, Google has developed a screen protector detection function, which is exclusive to the Google Pixel 8 series.
In practice, it is a system that helps the smartphone detect when a screen protector is applied or removed and, whenever a film is applied to the display, it shows a notification informing the user that they must activate the relevant mode, so that they can benefit. for a better touch interaction experience.
Tapping the notification opens a dialog box with three buttons: one to open Settings, one to confirm (but not delete) the notification, and one to turn off the notification.
Likewise, the moment a screen protector is removed from the device, a notification appears advising users to deactivate the screen saver mode, as without the film applied it risks causing a deterioration in the touch experience.
The Google team implemented this feature in the Google Pixel 8 series, but it is not present in any other of its models.
