Google wants to take the interaction between tablets and smartphones to another level.
Thanks to new technology in our mobile devices, some everyday things will become easier in the next few years. This applies, for example, to sharing media on other devices. Apart from the new audio sharing, there will also be an update for the cast function on Android soon.
Currently, if you want to cast a YouTube video from your Android phone to another screen, you usually have to choose from a list of devices. The more compatible devices your family has, the more confusing it can be.
However, things will change with the new “Broadcast to nearby devices”. All you have to do to be able to transfer video to this device is to hold your smartphone close to the desired device, like a classic remote control.
Its description, that is Android Authority Opened:
You can now cast media by holding your phone in front of any Pixel tablet on this Wi-Fi network.
Initially the feature was limited to Pixel tablets, but in the long run it will surely reach devices from other manufacturers in the Android ecosystem. At this point, some points are still not clarified, for example the protocol used for transmission. If the function is connected to UWB, only Pixel Pro models or Samsung’s high-end models will be enabled.
